CARLSBAD, N.M. - Recently released videos from a body-camera worn by a National Park Ranger at Carlsbad Caverns National Park reveals the park visitor who he tased, then shot and killed did not provoke the use of force and was unarmed.
Charles “Gage” Lorentz was traveling from his work site in Pecos, Texas on March 21. 2020 intending to head to his family’s home in Southwest Colorado. A report from the Eddy County Sheriff’s Department noted that he detoured at Carlsbad Caverns National Park to meet a friend. The report states National Park Ranger Robert Mitchell stopped him for speeding on a dirt road near the Rattlesnake Springs area of the park.
The lapel video shows Ranger Mitchell ordered Lorentz to spread his feet and move closer to a railing. Lorentz is seen complying with those orders. But when the ranger orders Lorentz to turn around, Lorentz is seen in the video not complying and dancing to nearby music playing from someone’s vehicle. Ranger Mitchell commanded Lorentz to take his hands out of his pockets, and without warning or an announcement that force will be used; Ranger Mitchell deployed his Taser at Lorentz.
The video abruptly ends when the Taser is deployed. Twenty-six seconds of the video is missing, but when the video resumes, the video shows Ranger Mitchell on top of Lorentz. That’s when the ranger shot him twice with his service gun.

“If you fight the cops, assault a cop, resist arrest, etc., bad things can happen. The deceased looked like he was high on drugs.”
So, in your expert opinion, he should have been killed then.
FFS... Why are you here on this site? Seriously.
Thanks for the ping.
Remind me to stay out of National Parks.
I am just stating a fact. Virtually every one of these police shootings was instigated by the deceased. People like you defend savage behavior.
I watched the video.
I am not going to argue with you. It is a waste of my time and yours.
Placemarking and thanks for your comments.
I know that China is heavily involved in all manner of propaganda in the US, paying media to print articles, the Confucious Institutes or whatever they’re called, and much more. I would assume unless you tell me otherwise, that China would be behind a lot of this. And of course many US politicians are tightly connected via exchange of $$$.
FR has gotten so whacked out over the last few years I only hang out on one place here.
Thank you for your voice of reason and accuracy.
“See, I’ve got the “government” (probably not really government) surveillance on me (same as Trump actually, and get ready for an eye opener on that - I know what he is working toward revealing).”

More information on ‘eye opener’ please.
I will reveal more about the network.

Please do. Have read that one ‘deep state’ coordinator per block. Did not state size of block, however.
It could easily average out to one per block from what I see. You have a minimum 4% of the population in the network in suburban areas, and in some it goes up to probably 10=12%. And they are on call 24/7, and concentrated in areas you need - medical, banking, anywhere there is data. I’d assume 70-80% of the BLM protests is them, filling out the numbers and making it look big for the media.
It is really horrific, if you grew up believing the myth of America, with freedom and privacy, and us all Americans on the same team.
