Pennsylvania cop killer on death row asks highest court to throw out conviction

Too bad they didn’t cave in his skull. Worms need food too.

I might agree with you - but LEOs don't let peasants take the liberties that they do.

They're around to remind us that .gov can spit in our faces with people like Manson dying in prison of old age.

Frein was captured by U.S. Marshals in an open field near an unused airport hangar at Birchwood-Pocono Airpark, an abandoned airfield approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) ENE of Tannersville, on October 30, 2014, 48 days after the shooting. At the time of his arrest, he was not armed, but a .308-caliber rifle and a pistol were recovered.

Frein was arrested without incident. Although he did not resist arrest, he suffered a cut to the bridge of his nose, as well as a scrape over his left eye and bruises to his cheeks and eyes. A Pennsylvania State Police spokesman said these injuries occurred while he was on the run, but the U.S. Marshals said this occurred while police had him down on the pavement during his arrest.

According to Scott Malkowski, one of a dozen Marshals who took down Frein, standard procedure is "Never have a fugitive look at you", and because Frein went down in a position with head up looking at the officers, they pushed him to a face down position causing the scrapes in the process.

Symbolically, Frein was restrained after the arrest using the handcuffs of deceased officer Bryan Dickson and taken to the barracks where the attack occurred in the back seat of Dickson's car.

Try pulling this kind of tribal revenge on a suspect that did one of yours wrong, Ironjack, and see what the Criminal Jesters System does to you.

I have a feeling that if a citizen had encountered this pukebag and had a little ... axe-handle conversation ... with him before calling the law, the LEOs wouldn't have looked into the matter too deeply.

I would even go so far as to say that if a citizen took down a dirty cop, no one but the other dirty cops would be overly offended.

And I don't have any more use for self-righteous cops than anyone else.
