Dead for being confused and refusing to Obey Cop ... bullies do not like being told no
Defying presidents and Congress, the ATF, DEA, FBI and U.S. Marshals shroud their shootings in secrecy
To understand how often federal officers and their task forces use deadly force, NBC News built a database of shootings that involved officers working for or with the ATF, the DEA, the FBI and the Marshals Service by reviewing five years’ worth of public documents, news releases, lawsuits and news reports.
From 2018 to 2022, 223 people were shot by an on-duty federal officer, a member of a federal task force or a local officer participating in an operation with federal agents, according to an NBC News analysis. A total of 151 were killed, an average of 30 per year.
Examinations of the incidents revealed that the Justice Department’s law enforcement agencies continue to use tactics that many big-city police departments now shun. They have fired at moving cars and shot people within seconds of encounters — without taking steps to de-escalate the situations.
Some federal law enforcement practices have generated disputes with local police chiefs, in addition to civil rights leaders, who question why federal officers aren’t held to the same standards as state and city law enforcement officers.
Although the Justice Department has forced local law enforcement, like the Baltimore and Los Angeles police departments, to reform, its own agencies are legally exempt from similar oversight. The use-of-force data the Justice Department agencies publish is so limited that it is hard to determine who was shot, why, when and by whom.
Cops In California Will Have To Tell Drivers Why They Pulled Them Over Starting January 1
Being pulled over by the cops sucks. Depending on who you are, it can be an easy or harrowing experience. No matter who you are though, one of the most annoying aspects of being pulled over is the police asking you, “Do you know why I pulled you over?” Luckily, starting January 1, drivers in California won’t have to hear it anymore.
The Daily Bulletin reports that the bill A.B. 2773 will require police to explain to drivers why they pulled them over, instead of them stupidly asking drivers if they know the reason. The bill also aims to do away with what are known as pretextual stops – this is when police pull drivers over for minor things like broken tail lights in order to possibly search a person’s vehicle or run their name to find bigger crimes. While these stops are technically legal, the problem is the racial disparities that happen when these stops, occur as The Bulletin points out:
If it all goes wrong, with whom will the police side?
By Mike McDanielShould our government decide “our democracy” is in imminent danger and it’s necessary to suppress dangerous insurrectionists like Catholics and soccer moms, would America’s federal, state and local police play along?
It has long been common knowledge Federal agencies have been stockpiling enormous quantities of mil-spec arms, ammunition and other gear. Agencies like the Railroad Retirement Board, Department of Education and Fish and Wildlife Service have automatic weapon-armed SWAT teams. Apparently, railroad retirees, federal education grant applicants and Trout are a greater threat to “our democracy” than anyone imagined. Let’s evaluate the real potential threat:
Federal Law Enforcement: these weaponized, politicized “public servants” likely represent the greatest threat. I’ve often written I suspect most FBI agents are honorable people. Unfortunately, there’s no way for Americans to determine which are and aren’t, and misplaced trust can be fatal. Which Feds are probably least likely to turn traitor? Perhaps the Border Patrol. Their level of disgust with the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA) and all its Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) functionaries is obvious.
However, all of them are chasing pensions, and all--little cogs in a vast bureaucratic machine--are used to going along to get along. They know what happens to people who don’t play along in thought, word and deed. Some will turn to the dark side to keep their pensions. Others because they want to be on what they think will be the winning side. Some because they like having power over others, and they’ll get pretty much life-and-death power. Under the circumstances we’re considering, some will comply because they don’t want to be shot or have their families threatened.
Yes. That will happen.
'Good Guy With a Gun' Escapes the Claws of a Soros-Funded Prosecutor
On January 5, 2023, 30-year-old Eric Eugene Washington entered El Ranchito taqueria in southwest Houston, brandishing what turned out to be a toy pistol and demanding the customers give him their money. As Washington goes to leave the shop, one of the customers shoots him nine times. If you are squeamish, don't watch this video.
The customer then left the restaurant. Four days later, the 46-year-old shooter, who remains anonymous, contacted Houston homicide detectives via his attorney. At the time, I had two major concerns. First and foremost, the district attorney for Harris County and Houston is George Soros-funded Kim Ogg. Ogg runs an office that coddles criminals; killing a protected, even if not endangered, species seemed guaranteed to unleash a s**tstorm.
I'm not particularly sensitive about criminals when they hit their FAFO moment. I don't have a problem shooting a man's weight in lead at him to bring him down. In this case, I thought a solid, indestructible self-defense case was available for the first four rounds. The next four were decidedly in the "gray area" of legality. The ninth round, in my opinion, could, in the right lighting, be mistaken for an execution.
The video led to "community activists" calling the shooter a vigilante and demanding his arrest.
Ohio SWAT Team Raids Wrong House, Seriously Injures Baby With Flashbang Grenade, Denies Responsibility
Courtney Price was at home on Wednesday taking care of her one-year-old son, Waylon, when they experienced a terrifying and traumatic altercation with local law enforcement.

In the aftermath of the raid, it was revealed that law enforcement had targeted the wrong home, and tragically, their actions resulted in the baby sustaining injuries. The events that unfolded left the family shaken and seeking justice for Waylon’s suffering.

Law enforcement had been looking for a 14-year-old black suspect who had previously lived in the house before Redia and her husband, Marlon Jennings. She explained to RedState:
Houston Man Files Lawsuit After Being Arrested When Facial Recognition Misidentified Him as a Robber
At a time when technology increasingly intersects with law enforcement practices, the story of Harvey Eugene Murphy provides a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of using various technologies that can lead to injustice.
Murphy has filed a lawsuit against Sunglass Hut’s parent company after a store’s facial recognition program falsely identified him as a robber. As a result, he was arrested and jailed, which led to him being sexually assaulted.
The notion that facial recognition could be used to search your license photos is scary enough. But what happened to Murphy shows just how much of a nightmare can result from the use of this technology.
In Murphy’s case, the software mishap was exacerbated by the use of low-quality cameras in the store, which increased the chances that one might be misidentified.
Hardly .... I despise the coverup for incompetence and criminal actions by law enforcement at all levels

Power with Control
None of these things excuse bad police behavior. But more importantly, they don't excuse other police and local govt covering up for bad police behavior.
I expect the people who are granted the power of taking away a person's freedom and life and death over citizens to exercise that power with restraint. No citizen should ever expect less. And I expect the govts that grant them that power to hold them at least as accountable for violations of the law as they do citizens themselves. I expect officers who witness bad behavior to report it it, not condone it through inaction or action to assist the bad officer.
These are not unreasonable expectations.
