Feds are absolutely scum. This absolutely reads as they might have well set up this officer to be gunned down while they literally watched. And I wouldn't put it past them. Feds are scum!

You already said it twice so I third it. Feds are scum, the motion is carried.

Yup, so the Xiden regime can use it as part of their "guns bad, disarm all White US citizens now" agenda.

Window tint laws are BS, officer should have done something else.

This story is waaaaayyyy different than the first one that came out.

The first story indicated that the trooper was asked by HSI to pull over the suspect. Now it turns out that two other troopers were supposed to do it. Now it’s time to dig into that BOLO and see what it really said. I also wonder what the dead trooper’s supervisor really told him about the suspect.

Now I'm curious, I need to dig into this story.

Recently I write about police procedure pertaining to the case of the female officer shooting the arrest-resistor with live ammo from her sidearm mistaken for her Taser. With today's technology and funding, modern police cars have laptops and internet access (plus the officers' personal cellphones, also with internet access.) Between the dispatcher's info and NCIC/other data available on the laptops using no more input than the perp's license plate #, there is no excuse for an officer to approach a traffic stop without knowing what that driver should look like, his state of warrants, and his criminal history.

> My friend from SWAT has a nice gaming-style laptop in the squad car, and various radios to pick up chatter from other police forces and related agencies like fire dept/amber lamps/EMS etc. He is taking advantage of every source of info he can to be aware of potential threats in or near his area.

I guess police near the border deal with illegals so much it's an everyday thing, but considering the cartel involvement (and frequent disrespect for Law & Order these days) every interaction should be treated with caution. If it's the fault of DHS keeping information from him, that's despicable.

The way a BOLO should work is when you run the plate prior to first contact you should get a hit back saying that the vehicle is linked to a federal target. The feds knew he was armed the last time they met with him. Considering the NM state police were prepped for a multi car stop 4 miles down the road, I am starting to think their is some culpability there.

Is important to remember that these shitheads can’t be taken off the streets until the feds build a big enough case. Selling a pound of meth won’t get the AUSA off their butts to prosecute.

I assumed it would work that way, when running the plate they would cross-reference it with other agencies' info on the driver. (Like wouldn't NCIC or something similar report warrants/offenses from all 50 states?)

If State Police were that close, I can see that they might have radio-silence or whatever in trying to be covert due to the possibility of the suspects having a scanner/police radio. But still... these guys are professionals, if they were being that "cautious" one would think they would be looking out for unsuspecting officers in the area, and have the dispatcher warn them away with a coded message (or creative distraction/another "call") should they call in the plate of the car in question.

> Disclaimer: I am not a policeman (obviously.) I do know a few policemen who give me occasional advice/keep me up on recent developments.

I am surprised that the troopers assigned to the stop didn’t call the other trooper and tell him to wait, and back him up.

I get it that officials running "Sanctuary States"/cities feel the need to hide info on the illegal aliens they release into the community (to keep them from being deported again.) But normally, law-enforcement agencies tend to share info on dangerous perps in their area as a matter of professional courtesy. Maybe that's a feds-vs.-locals issue, or... anything attributable to malice should not be mistaken for incompetence, the more likely conclusion.
