Wife of Clinton airport executive killed in Arkansas raid sues ATF over husband’s death

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The widow of an Arkansas airport director who was killed during a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raid on his home last year sued the agency and several officials, claiming the agency and officers acted recklessly and negligently.

Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport Executive Director Bryan Malinowski died days after he was shot when ATF agents were executing a warrant March 19, 2024, at his home in Little Rock.

The ATF said Malinowski shot at agents, striking and injuring one, after which agents returned fire.

An affidavit released after the shooting said the warrant was related to accusations that Malinowski bought over 150 guns between May 2021 and February 2024 and that he resold many without a dealer’s license.

In the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Little Rock, Maria “Maer” Malinowski accused the ATF and 10 agents and task force officers of violating hers and her husband’s constitutional rights.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and requested a jury trial.

“The Constitution requires reasonableness and, specifically here, that defendants both knock and announce their presence and purpose and wait a reasonable time before entry,” the lawsuit said. “The ATF failed to do so, resulting in an entirely predictable, needless and tragic outcome.”

The ATF thugs were afraid he was going to flush the weapons down the toilet.

These kinds of raids need to stop.

Adrenalin junkies wanting to use their paramilitary gear. Killing some schlubs is just a bonus. The purpose is to intimidate you and me.

Absolutely. It’s deliberate. To frighten and intimidate people from getting into the business or even peripherally involved.

Yes, we do need to return policing to a sane method and not these ‘roided, gang-tattooed, militarized, qualified-immuned thugs that we have in many places now.

From FR at the time it happened:

Another good article from another local paper in Little Rock:

Illegal guns sales led to fatal ATF raid on airport director Malinowski’s home, affidavit says (Mar 21, 2024)

https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2024/03/21/judge-unseals-documents-in-malinowski-case

Seems credible.

The Morning raid was grossly grossly unnecessary. And they failed to identify themselves.

This is about the ATF raid where they put tape over the homes security cameras before they entered and conveniently forgot to have their own bodycams with them in spite of agency regulations requiring they wear them.

The following is by no means my favorite youtuber but he does cover this story pretty well. He posted this today ...

Yes, possibly knew too much and was killed under the Biden Administration.

ATF caused Ruby Ridge and Waco too, if I remember right.

Amateur clown show.

these raids come straight out of the kgb handbook. if you break into an armed citizen’s home unannounced you know you will receive fire. this was intentional. it was murder. part of the procedure is to humiliate spouses. Annette Kuehne was made to wait outside barefoot with her 4 y/o son. it was 12 degrees outside that morning. she had a miscarriage the next day. these people are satanic.

Law enforcement has managed to greatly alienate the political conservatives, the only group which actually consistently supported them.

That's because they no longer serve conservatives, or loyal Americans in general, and are under the control of people who despise traditional USA.
