I've done over 500 search and arrest warrants and I wasn't involved in this warrant but it sound pretty dirty to me. If it was a "search" warrant and not a "search and arrest" warrant, then there is no reason they couldn't do the search on the first attempt when he wasn't home. Second, there was no reason they couldn't announce and wait for entry into the home on the second attempt. We only did no knock warrants when there was a high risk warrant, or risk of destruction of evidence, and only if we couldn't arrest at another location in a more safe environment. To do it in the dark and cutting the lights plus not wearing body cams sounds sketchy to me. My other comment is how come he says he can't answer questions on the investigation to Jordon and then he proceeds to give specific details about guns being sold by the guy they killed to the democrat asking questions which benefitted him? This guy is as greasy as they come. The government needs to be brought back under control, PERIOD!

​​@@streganona8185 IF ATF Didn't Need a Warrant, That Seems a Frightening Abuse Of Power, Making a Show Of Unnecessary Force, As Tyrannical Regimes Do.

[@PurpsUK2]

The thing I find VERY suspicious of this was they didn't wear body cams, then made a point of disabling the only other source of video that was likely to be recording after they cut the power, if the power is cut, then there's no router for people to use the doorbell cam on devices. Then proceeded to battering ram the door, the only thing it accomplished was to remove any record of what occurred during the raid. It plays out more like a hit than a raid.

[@rednecknation8303]

Covering the doorbell cam was a chicken thing to do. Going in before daylight? No warning, not identifying themselves is what got that agent shot and the home owner killed. At best this was a complete study in incompetence or out right murder.

The second attempt leading to the death of an innocent man for the alleged not having a $200 license. Likely running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for this fiasco.

He needs to answer whether or not if he knew this man they murdered if aware of no previous arrest records. Finally said the judge noticed.

How about FOCUSING on those greater numbers of actual trafficking and not the alleged guy who's sold 150 guns (relatively few) over a few years

ATF Director Steven Dettelbach and the agents involved need to be put in prison for murder

[@cookielapaz8927]

The federal government has no accountability or liability for acting like the mafia.

[@earlputnal9124]

But you still shot and killed an innocent man who did nothing illegal Mr ATF director? It doesn't matter how you describe the social and financial positions in society sir!!? You shot and killed an innocent man?!!

[@joehiden7475]

How about making murder illegal.

When is nadler going to be thrown out of office

[@rambojohn272727]

So you have a third of your agency with cameras? So that's 1 camera for every 3 agents? Here's an idea, take the body cameras you already have, and give at least 1 per team for now, until you can have 2 per team. Then 3 per team, etc. until every agent has one. I thought of that in 2 minuets of thinking of how this could have been avoided and I have no law enforcement experience. Steve is either purposefully breaking the law with malicious intent, or so incompetent that he shouldn't hold his current position. So which is it? Incompetence or maliciousness, because it cant be anything other than those 2 things.

[@streganona8185]

They should not be allowed to do field work until they All comply and have cameras. This sounds like a load of shyte to me.

Dettlebach what reason did you have to go costopol on this man and his family in the dark. What danger did he represent other than being a collector?? I would like to hear the answer to that

[@joanobrien9404]

So tired of the catch all policy of the DOJ for not responding to Congress’s inquiries about “pending investigations.” The government agency witnesses must answer the question or be held in contempt until they do so.

Premeditated murder by the ATF

[@streganona8185]

A reminder to the ATF: "A Law repugnant to the Constitution is Void." Marbury v. Madison (1803) This still stands.

[@livingisanart5119]

This director has a hopeless grasp on duties of his office

[@rustymohr6652]

@livingisanart5119 Exactly. He stated himself that he has been in 5 different administration of the DOJ. He's apparently just a useful idiot of a political bureaucracy that shuffles him around to wherever there's an opening to fill for the time being.

[@massspectrician]

Unfortunately, he is doing his job just like everyone else who does it. The problem is that the ATF regulations are not laws, but they enforce their regulations and kill innocent people and nobody holds them to account. It isn't just the ATF. This is a DOJ problem.

[@rustymohr6652]

@@massspectrician Well unfortunately, unlike other people that show a gross ineptitude in performance of their JOBS he can't simply just be fired and sent packing without as the old saying goes "an act of Congress".

I absolutely hate they continue to use " we cannot comment on current investigations or anything we consider to be a potential investigation" the ATF, FBI and DOJ all used it and they need to be held accountable for this murder! Jim Jordan said it best if it was just a search warrant they could've detained him at work and searched the house simultaneously.

The ATF puts it in a 500 page book that you can't understand so they can pick and choose whether to target you or not.
