The Official Whitewash Of The Killing Of Duncan Lemp (No Knock Raid)
The American Conservative ^ | Jan 1 | James Bovard

Posted on 01/01/2021 10:19:57 PM PST by RandFan

Why did a Montgomery County, Maryland SWAT team kill 21-year-old Duncan Lemp, in a no-knock predawn raid on March 12? The county released an official report yesterday stating that a violent no-knock raid was justified “due to Lemp being ‘anti-government,’ ‘anti-police,’ currently in possession of body armor, and an active member of the Three Percenters.” The report also noted that “police had viewed several videos showing Lemp handling and shooting firearms.”

Distrusting the government and police and appearing in photos or videos with firearms is a catch-all that could apply to millions of Americans. But that was enough to justify a deadly assault in one of America’s most liberal jurisdictions.

Montgomery County released the report on New Year’s Eve, probably hoping that it would receive scant attention. But the county’s own admissions should propel new demands for disclosures on the most under-reported police killing of 2020.

The report details how police attacked the Lemp home from two sides. Two members of the raid team did a “‘break and rake’ on Duncan Lemp’s first-floor bedroom window while the rest of the team entered the house by using a battering ram on the main front door … Another officer used a fireman’s pike tool to break the bedroom window closest to the bed where Lemp and [his pregnant girlfriend Kasey] Robinson were sleeping........

Hell, the FBI got away with 4 years of sedition...killing a ‘rando’ does not even make the radar.
The police are their own worst enemy.

Well, there you have it. Apparently, the police are the kind of folks who would do well not to venture outside of Central MD.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!

I agree. I believe there is an exception in his bill, but it’s quite narrowly tailored, and I suspect it wouldn’t include “just because a self-described patriot was practicing his shooting skills.”

Thanks for the ping. This is an important story that has been overlooked and underreported

I’m not sure I see any daylight between the III%ers and Oath Keepers.

“3%’s I don’t agree with but that is a point of view, not a crime.”

What do you think 3%s are ?

“What do you think 3%s are”

Most of the self identified 3%s I have talked to do not seem to like or want any form of government that does not agree with their individual ideals and that differs widely between them.

Oath keepers are bound by the constitution and the oath of enlistment or that taken by sworn officers. Oath keepers accept that government is necessary but should never be abused or over stepped.

Also the 3%s seem to only be interested in how laws and policies affect and effect them individually or as a family/tribe where Oath keepers will step up and help establish and protect constitutional rights even for groups they do not agree with.

Interesting. My understanding of what the “III%” actually meant was that only 3% of the colonists actively fought in the Revolution, and that the modern 3%ers were ready to do so again.
