ATF agent James Burk showed up to question a home owner about a shotgun he owns. The home owner then called the local police, who arrested the ATF agent.
Old news, mt friend.
ROFL! Now that is a wonderful video to watch, made my day!
Oh. She's gonna need a man to support the family and the infant will sure need a dad. Formative years, and all. I see now. Get up, and first thing.. congratulations, agent!
Is that how he thought it would go? Lol!!
THAT WAS AWESOME
Ukraine must be winning if old news is being posted.
An oldie but a goodie. That little bitch ATF agent cries like a baby for his mommy while on the ground....please dont, my wife is pregnant....what? Then later he claims he has a medical issue.....wish they slammed his head into the sidewalk for good measure, teach these communist a lesson.
It was two years ago. Still entertaining to watch.
The local cops are still on a police force. The ATF guy is suing them and their department. The civil action goes to trial this fall.
I hope the ATF guy loses.
While the first part of the story is old news we still don’t know the most important part. Was the “agent” a real agent-—yes/no? If he was a real agent then what the bleep was his authority to harass a private person, non-FFL, about a firearm he may or may not actually own? And what is the local sheriff going/doing about it.
If this was a real agent severe discipline is in order. If this was a fake agent then realer discipline is in order.
my my my. He no doubt thought that that kind of treatment is reserved only for the plebes. How dare them! Don’t they know who he is??
He was real and filed a lawsuit against the police for excessive force. Can anyone update on this?
If he was a real agent or a fake agent then the sheriff should prosecute him for the same harassment charges.
What does "mt" stand for?
“I’ve got a medical condition!”
“I’m going to have a panic attack!”
Well, duh
Moron...
Yes, he was.
He also had a lawful weapons confiscation order, as the husband purchased a shotgun, and was subsequently denied during a late background check.
One of those nasty "gotcha's" where the Feds cannot complete a background check within 3 days and must allow the original sale of a firearm. They can still keep checking and if they find something later, they can go back to confiscate the purchased firearm. That was the setup.
All perfectly legal so far.
The housewife panicked and called the local police, saying that an unknown person claiming to be a federal officer was at her door demanding weapons and she was frightened.
Criminals have impersonated law enforcement staff before. It was not (IMO) an unreasonable fear by the housewife. Her husband was not home at the time.
ATF guy was armed and mouthed off to the local police officer who arrived on-scene. That was how things went sour in a hurry. Refusing to obey police instructions sealed the deal.
ATF guy should have known better. You always need to cooperate with local officers, or at least avoid antagonizing them. He could dish it out but could not take it. He is still with the ATF (of course). Not a good temper for a law enforcement officer. He should be in another line of work.
Along with almost everybody else in ATF. Once again, in my opinion. YMMV.
It is very likely that the ATF agent will win. Cops did not follow their own procedures.
Old. Wes? Really? I have not seen it. Then again, some of us do not monitor every thread ever posted 24/7.
“What does “mt” stand for? “
“Empty”, but note that the T key is right next to the Y key. Y? I don’t know.
Some wags would suggest that the whole BATFE is impersonating a law enforcement agency.
