“Hiding behind the badge of dead cops”??
You miss the point. The USMS isn’t an agency that’s limited to bailiff duty. The agency is on the front lines on a daily basis dealing with the worst of the worst violent offenders. The article attempts to throw the term “federal marshals” in the American bag as “jack booted thugs” and that attitude on this forum and others is getting old. ThAT was my point.
Your comment was a personal insult as I knew EACH of those men personally. I’m not hiding behind a damn thing. Monday morning quarterbacks routinely seem to miss that.

Then you insult their memory by using their deaths as justification for anything other than bringing their killers to final justice. Be careful. Be vigilant. But don’t be an occupying army.

I’m aware of what the USMS does. But, in this case, they were on bailiff duty. They weren’t escorting dangerous prisoners or taking down the worst offenders. This was an attorney in a courtroom who was acting inappropriately. Did they really fear for their lives (all 6 of them) or for the judge’s safety?
