Well, now the ATF has confirmed that none of them were using bodycams, in clear violation of their agency policy. But hey, trust them, the dead guy fired first! Surely we can believe anything a federal agency tells us without any proof required, right?

Ironically, news stories still say that the shooting happened "during execution of a search warrant." At this point I have to believe that the shooting happened "during an execution."

This is finally getting coverage. Good for you for being first on the scene.

If we read enoughTom Clancy we recognise the "aimless driving" as a SDR-Surveillance Detection Run.

He was guilty of two things which are anathema to government- providing citizens with weapons, and working to make a profit.

They should have attacked him like Al Capone, through the TaxCode.

Wow! Lots of questions on this one:

I can't understand how the ATF's Affidavit establishes even the minimum probable cause for issuance of a search warrant. While SCOTUS has long considered 'probable cause' a fluid concept, there has to be solid evidence of a CRIME. The guns in question were openly and legally bought and sold. The fact that one of their undercover agents bought a gun from Malinowski and there were no irregularities mentioned seems to me to be exhonerating, not incriminating. That one of them was subsequently illegally possessed by "Witness 1" does not connect with having committed a crime at all. All the following and tailing ATF agents did produced nothing except "erratic driving" -- every example of which describes behavior of about one third of every driver on the road.

This looks like a fishing expedition, plain and simple, gone bad. Very bad. A decent attorney would have been able to get any evidence the ATF warrant uncovered tossed out, had the suspect survived.

On the pre-printed form Order (presumably reviewed and signed by a Judge in a Court of Jurisdiction)

it actually says 6 am to 10 pm? That gives police and investigators way too much leeway. That ought to be changed immediately. How about 8am to 8pm?

If it's completely safe and effective...why can't we see what's been redacted? Certainly it will show information that will just embarrass antivaxxers.

In a failing, post-consitutional republic, we can expect more stories like this.

It’s like the ATF wants to just assassinate US citizens who own a lot of guns

Great article, thanks.

I wasn't aware of this either. I mean, to me this just seems like extrajudicial execution.

I think you nailed it at the end. Things like this should concern everyone.

Even the shit like people getting their dogs shot during raids should concern people.

I'm curious if they even ended up finding anything illegal in his house.

Going to go ahead and assume not, since it probably would have been publicized.

> Bryan Malinowski was an airport executive working at the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.

Ah, a suicide, I see.

Commander - I had an idea today. I don't know if you deal directly with any of the other substack authors like Matt Osbourne but what you and a few others like him should do is get together and host a Twitter Spaces event where all who subscribe to you guys can participate (mainly as listeners but also given the option to ask Q's). One of the keys to defeating these corrupt globalist and politicians is for us to be as organized as possible and that means communication, lots of it,. The internet has made it possible for people like us to know the media has lied to us in the past when they tried to convince us that we were the few crazies. They FEAR our organizing.

Thank you for bringing this story into the light. You are correct that it is the first time I'm hearing about Bryan Malinowski. I cringe to think how often the judgment and tactics of federal government actors result in what we see as avoidable tragedy like this one, but what the government and media see as someone whose life was disposable because it didn't further the political goals of the moment.

My advice, if you have more than 1 firearm the Feds will add you to a watch list and move you up it the more weapons you buy b/c gun owners are a threat to the Federal government so be sure you have a hell of a difficult door to bust down. I'm not saying it has to be impossible for teh cops to knock down just that it will require a lot more effort then they normally have to use so as to give you time to ready yourself. Place video cameras inside and outside your home and even if you don't normally use then turn them on if you hear someone trying to break in. You also absolutely need to have teh name of a lawyer in advance you trust. You don't need to have them on retainer just one you can call so you're not left w/o legal help

1) Get your gun and find the most secure location

2) Enable any/all monitoring equipment. Call 911 and tell them someone is trying to break in and you are armed to defend yourself

3) If you can (i,e. more than 1 phone such as 1 land line and 1 cell) also call your lawyer

4) continuously yell that you are armed and will defend yourself unless this is law enforcement in which case demand they identify themselves.

5) If possible don't reside in any locale that is a Democrat stronghold or some place that's mixed 9i.e.e purple) . Even in Republican strongholds you'll have gun grabbers just fewer of them.

If the 911 operator tells you that's law enforcement than lay down your gun so it's still close and if possible not in line of sight where the cops would come to you from so you can grab it if it's actual criminals claiming to be cops. Be sure you are always in line sight of one of your recording devices and if possible set to backup/stream that to the cloud so the cops can't destroy your cameras to cover their actions because they absolutely will do that if they fear they screwed up.

The fact is you can no longer trust law enforcement unless you've actually met and know them like in a small town. This is exponentiaonally true with any Federal level Law Enforcement.

This is not legal advice just recommendations.

"Knowing the potential for disaster when raiding the home of a gun collector, why are body cameras not standard in these situations?"

Absolutely not. That could risk exposing law enforcement's bad actions. Best to not use them or have them all covienantly run out of power just before the raid.

Rand Pauls legislation hasn't made any headway b/c the majority in DC work for teh highest campaign contributors of which the various unions like the ones for law enforcement are a part of and you know Law Enforcement is against any cracking down on their abuses.

Commander - Off topic but this is your latest post..

I don't know if you know this but when Substack sends out emails with lists of various things those you have subscribed to have posted they don't provide links in it for each item just some, not sure why but in todays email it had you listed with some kind of comment but nothing else to link to and let you go to it. Substack really needs to get it's shift together. They're way too successful now to accept a lot of teh still ongoing flaws and lack of features on their platform.

Hmm. There is a pre-written narrative and there are events, orchestrated or simply convenient, that are slotted into the pre-written narrative to cue the planned next events. Whatever rises to the level of mainstream broadcast needs to be considered as such, especially when the planned next events involve riots, fueling division + outrage, and "political" agendas, etc. So the narratives of "racist cops" and "violent cops" are both built this way.

The facts actually show the opposite is happening as Michael Shellenberger explains here. Police killings are dramatically down from the 70s, of all races. 59 / yr in NYC in the 70s vs 12 / yr in 2015-2020. And, "There are no racial differences in police killings when accounting for whether or not the suspect was armed or a threat." So, of course that doesn't excuse the bad ones, but police as a whole are far better trained now and are not racist. But that doesn't make for a good narrative when what the globalists want is anger and outrage and excuses to justify what they've already planned to do.
