A Federal Judge has ruled that the family of Dr. James Redd may pursue allegations that a federal law enforcement agent used excessive force during the 2009 antiquities raids in Blanding.
Daniel Love, a law enforcement agent for the Bureau of Land Management, conducted the investigation and the raids.
... there is no evidence at all that Dr. Redd or anyone at his home resisted arrest in any way during the execution of the warrant. At a minimum, it was unreasonable on the facts alleged in the Complaint for Agent Love to call more agents to Dr. Redd’s home after he and his family were already sequestered, and posed no danger to anyone.
“Viewing Dr. Redd’s alleged facts as true… the court must conclude that he has sufficiently alleged facts that support a claim against Agent Love for violation of his Fourth Amendment protection from the use of excessive force
Then he could leave Utah where he is now a very polarizing figure.
And that's what each western state needs to do: take them down. One at a time, two at a time, I don't care. But each western state needs to start pushing its legal sovereignty over the fed boots on the ground.
Good for this federal judge and good for Sheriff’s Perkins and Eldredge for standing up to this tyrant Dan Love of the BLM.
Sheriff Gilbertson of Josephine County, OR went through this with BLM tyrants a few years back and told them who was in charge and it wasn’t BLM enforcement agents on county and state roads, the sheriff and the law won.
Well said, Fly...That’s exactly what has to happen and it will if more sheriff’s start fighting the BLM tyrants.
This judge had better stay out of Tucson! (he might ‘accidentally’ stop a few stray bullets)
