Man who brandished gun on I-694 was ATF agent

motorist who allegedly brandished a gun at another driver.

Turns out the driver who displayed the handgun was an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, a State Patrol report said.

The incident began about 6:40 a.m. on eastbound I-694 in Brooklyn Park, where a motorist called police to report that another driver was displaying a gun.

The motorist followed the gun-toting driver east to I-94, and then south on I-94 into Minneapolis.

Police caught up to that driver on I-94 at Olson Hwy. and blocked two of the southbound lanes for a short time while making an arrest. That was enough to cause traffic to jam up back to West Broadway.

The State Patrol took the man with the gun into custody. He was questioned and released after officers learned he was an ATF agent who was carrying proper credentials.

His name was not released per Minnesota State Statue 13.82, which states that data would reveal the identity of an undercover law enforcement officer can be kept private.

The incident is under investigation.

Does that mean charges were dropped because he was law enforcement?

Worst case scenario....he’ll be allowed to retire with a full pension.Or,perhaps,he’ll be allowed to retire with a disability pension...no taxes.Hell,he might even be cited for bravery.

what part of ‘proper credentials’ allows for brandishing of a gun at a motorist on a highway? If it had been someone protecting cows, they would have locked him up and thrown away the key, carry permit or no.

It means there WERE no charges, because he's not a peasant.

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”

They drive around doing random car searches, mainly looking for cash. If they find any they’ll steal it.

No, the worst case scenario is that he goes to a movie theater one day.

He probably caught sight of an arrowhead collector or rodeo clown in the car.

There are lots of possible explanations.

Perhaps the guy was on his way to delivering RAW MILK, for example.

Or maybe the driver was a plumber. Or a neurosurgeon. Or the DAD of a neurosurgeon. Or a dim-witted, youTube film-maker.

Or maybe a really sharp, conservative film-maker.

Lots of possibilities —more all the time, in fact.

Agent Asshat is lucky. There really are a lot of people who would have just shot him or run him off the road for that.

DHS is everywhere now. Why do they get to put ‘POLICE’ on their vehicles though? They’re not police they are FedMob agents.

I’ve seen those in St.Paul as well. Probably just the local spy data PRISM center.
