Ammon Bundy's defense lawyer Marcus Mumford was attacked by federal marshals while arguing before a judge.
Prosecuting defense lawyers in political cases smacks of a Communist country, a police state.
failing to comply with the lawful direction of a federal police officer.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There was no reason to detain Bundy, he was being released by the judge on a motion by Mumford which the police interfered with.
Why do people, who will not sue them to protect themselves and family, carry guns in the first place?
“tackled and stunnded” Stunnded...is that like stuned? Was his bieber injured?
Sounds like the federal marshals, unhappy with the verdict, dished out their own justice. The KKK would be proud.
According to a probable cause statement, the marshals said they moved forward to escort Bundy out of the courtroom when Mumford positioned his body to block them and began yelling in protest. When Mumford became more agitated, “flailing his arms and raising his voice even louder,’’ and exhibiting “pre-assault indicators,” they moved in.
Mumford earlier told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the marshals were “just making up facts.”

How many marshals were there?
Answer: "six to seven marshals slowly moved in and surrounded him at his defense table."
What are “pre-assault indicators”?
What “facts” are the Marshals making up?
I suppose the attorney did not show proper respect for the Marshals (not the judge). Headshake. With 6-7 Marshals, do you really think tasering him was necessary?
There are videos of the courtroom, it will be interesting to see who they support.
I have a very good friend living near the area where Bundy was arrested. Most people have no idea of the armaments, personnel carriers, and the numbers of federal agents brought in to fight Bundy. Schools were also closed down in the general area. Imagine if such preparation were made to stop the liberals from the looting, arson, and property destruction in their Soros funded riots.
What about the charges to the bailiffs and sheriffs who disobeyed the verbal orders of the judge in the court room and physically tackled the defense attorney in the open court room with no provocation?
Thats what I thought.
Time to file personal charges against each of the officers and the judge in addition to formal complaints against the judge.
Then go after the judge for $$$.
Hope Trump finds a good reason to fire the judge and replace him/her with someone sane.
Use of tazers and stun guns must be reduced. When these weapons were introduced, they were very controversial. LE officials lied to the American people and promised they would only be used in situations that firearms would have been used previously. We were told they would not be used to inflict pain on people simply for disobeying an order. These weapons should never be used simply because someone is not cooperating. They should never be used to move someone along, to shut someone up or to punish someone for disobeying or being rude. They must only be used in self-defense or to subdue a suspect who is fighting with the police. Fighting means trying to strike or grab officers, not simply ignoring orders.
The deputy marshals who tackled Mumford should be fired by their employer, sued by their victim, and charged with criminal assault. Their violence was inexcusable.
