I wonder if Pierce ever heard of Waco.
I wonder if he knows how many people have been injured or killed by various levels of policing when they have not been convicted of a capital offense.
I think Ruby ridge is the best example to use.
The government sets up weaver. Weaver does not want to play their game.
They raid his house knowing that the gun they sold him was in a technical violation of law.
They botch the raid - an agent gets killed after shooting weavers dog. Then agents kill weaver’s wife with a scoped rifle. I am pretty sure the shooter, a federal agent, treats the kill like a trophy. (Was this Lon Horuchi?)
Weaver goes to court and wins a 6 million dollar settlement against his attackers and tormentors - the federal government.
Nothing to fear? - ha
