FBI Kills Utah Man Who Allegedly Posted Online Threats Targeting Joe Biden, Alvin Bragg
You can’t threaten to shoot the president. Law enforcement has to take that seriously.
But I fear law enforcement is getting a little too addicted to the idea of early morning, armed raids on civilians. I’m not sure that’s exactly what happened here, but it seems likely.
There have been too many situations recently where law enforcement used way too much force. E.g., the arrest of Roger Stone.
Who’s keeping an eye on this?

Agreed. Fortunately, Stone lived to tell of his egregious treatment. Unfortunately, others have not been so lucky in surviving overzealous law enforcement…these are just a few:
*Jemel Roberson – 26-year-old on duty security guard shot dead by law enforcement while he was detaining a robbery assailant until law enforcement arrived. Ironically, the robbery assailant lived and the good guy with a gun (Roberson) died.
*George Floyd – a 46-year-old man slowly suffocated to death by law enforcement after being subdued.
*Philando Castile– 32-year-old man shot and killed 42 seconds after being engaged by law enforcement during a mistaken identity traffic stop (in front of his four-year-old daughter and girlfriend).
*Amadou Diallo – a 22-year-old unarmed immigrant with no criminal record was killed by law enforcement when they fired 41 shots at him in the doorway of his Bronx apartment building.
*Tamir Rice – 12-year-old with a toy gun shot dead seconds after law enforcement arrived on the scene.

Good question! Seems like someone should, given impact of these actions.
PS…forgot Tyre Nichols- a 29-year-old man pulled from his car during a traffic stop and brutally beaten to death by five officers.

Oh silly me, how could I omit this recent one…

Six law enforcement officers pled guilty to breaking into a home without a warrant and torturing two men for hours…repeated tasing, beating, shooting and even threatening sexual assault. They planted false evidence, filed false police reports and hid evidence to cover up their misdeeds.
To think…Roger Stone also suffered such treatment from law enforcement. It’s almost too much to bear.
