US marshals.
Looks like another suicide by cop
Oh well, another scumbag off the streets
Whose basement?
“Why did they try to revive him?” - Public Relations. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just taking away one avenue of attack from the idiot press.
Did the guy who connected the wire to the light bulb, invent it?
I saw some of the earlier videos, I think he was lying there for a few minutes before they started medical.
Blocked his vehicle in. He got out with weapon, caught him in crossfire, killed him. He never saw them coming until it was too late.
I wonder who the Democrats will send to his funeral.
Hold that happy ending the Dems will start raising money off his death. At least a statue. this sarcasm but anything can happen.
Great news. Thanks for posting.
PREPARE to be UNCIVIZED toward the UNCIVIL.
Civilization
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.
Ayn Rand
A future in which privacy would face constant assault was so alien to the framers of the Constitution that it never occurred to them to call out privacy as an explicit right. Privacy was inherent to the nobility of their being and their cause. Of course being watched in your own home was unreasonable. Watching at all was an act so unseemly as to be inconceivable among gentlemen in their day. You watched convicted criminals, not free citizens. You ruled your own home. It’s intrinsic to the concept of liberty.
For if we are observed in all matters, we are constantly under threat of correction, judgment, criticism, even plagiarism of our own uniqueness. We become children, fettered under watchful eyes, constantly fearful that — either now or in the uncertain future — patterns we leave behind will be brought back to implicate us, by whatever authority has now become focused upon our once-private and innocent acts. We lose our individuality, because everything we do is observable and recordable.
How many of us have paused during conversation in the past four-and-a-half years, suddenly aware that we might be eavesdropped on? Probably it was a phone conversation, although maybe it was an e-mail or instant-message exchange or a conversation in a public place. Maybe the topic was terrorism, or politics, or Islam. We stop suddenly, momentarily afraid that our words might be taken out of context, then we laugh at our paranoia and go on. But our demeanor has changed, and our words are subtly altered.
This is the loss of freedom we face when our privacy is taken from us. This is life in former East Germany, or life in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. And it’s our future as we allow an ever-intrusive eye into our personal, private lives.
Too many wrongly characterize the debate as “security versus privacy.” The real choice is liberty versus control. Tyranny, whether it arises under threat of foreign physical attack or under constant domestic authoritative scrutiny, is still tyranny. Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy. Widespread police surveillance is the very definition of a police state. And that’s why we should champion privacy even when we have nothing to hide.

OK, why did they kill him? Did he shoot first?
Because he would look awesome dangling from a rope?

They got him sir. Michael Forest Reinoehl is no longer a threat to society.
My only complaint is starting at the knees and working their way up would’ve been more satisfying. But ok.
Actually I hope these anarchists and commies keep it up until Trump gets reelected.
He’s dead. D-E-D. Dead.
