Caviness was a commercial airline pilot who was also a sworn law enforcement officer with the Federal Flight Deck Officer program
Thank goodness that he chose suicide by cop instead of choosing to crash his airplane in the middle of nowhere and taking all of his passengers with him.
Must have been a Trump supporter.
Sounds like a sad case.
He was suicidal, so they killed him?
Saying he was law enforcement is a bit of a stretch.
The flight deck officer program just means they have a gun in the cockpit in case it’s breached.
They take a class, qualify and they get to have a gun like El Al pilots.
Years ago, my son was returning on a flight from overseas and his seat-mate was a nice gentleman who he enjoyed chatting with for the entire flight. When they landed and went to leave the plan, the gentleman handed my son a label pin and told him he had enjoyed their conversation. It was an “Air Marshall” pin. He had been chatting with an air marshal the entire time.

Strictly Controlling possession of guns by Federal Employees.
Need a few FBI guys to try this…
I guess they succeeded in preventing him from committing suicide.
Any organization with hundreds or thousands of employees will have some of those employees who are at various stages of social, mental or drug abuse issues. You simply can’t control how all of those people will act in any given situation. Therefore, there will be rogue FBI agents, over the top crazy IRS agents and traitorous CIA agents. It can’t be stopped. Usually, the person experiencing whatever issue manages to act normally until he doesn’t. At which time everyone is shocked and in disbelief. Situation normal.
That’s not an Air Marshal, that is a commercial pilot.
Boy,they better have the whole thing on bodycam/dashcam...otherwise someone’s gonna go to Federal prison.
The writer missed a great opportunity to use the much maligned but favored term "assault rifle".
These Federali’s think they’re Hot Stuff and don’t have to respond to local LE.....
