good luck, kid
The FBI used to send the rookies out to arrest snipes and bring back buckets of steam. Now they send them out looking for roving bands of antifas.
already out on bail... open fire on cops with passengers.....
Miracle no-one was killed. He should be getting out just before retirement, which is unfortunate, but also fine.
For the federal charges.... thats what happens, The system/DA's are out there to shaft you. He should already know this. Maybe they should have been harsher for his A&B and being out on bail.
Sad case, glad no-one died.
Not that this guy has a chance of beating the state charges
but a federal charge because someone in a Boston cop's uniform driving an FBI truck just happened on the scene? If he has a decent lawyer that one will be thrown out.
What part of
do you not understand?
How does one "work in both capacities?"
That I don't understand.
I don't think the judge would, either.
Don't bother replying.
From the affadavit
At least one of the law enforcement officers at the scene during the shooting was
BPD Detective Timothy Stanton, who also serves as a Task Force Officer (“TFO”) for the FBI’s Metro Boston Gang Task Force. The task force’s primary responsibility is to identify and address gang violence in the Metro Boston area, using joint investigative efforts with local law enforcement agencies. The task force focuses on gang-related drug distribution and violence through the enforcement of federal drug, firearm and racketeering statutes. Stanton was sworn in as a federal TFO on or about December 11, 2019. As a result, I am aware that since 2019, TFO Stanton has served as a federal TFO in a full-time capacity, and has been authorized to make federal arrests for violations of federal criminal law.
In his capacity as a federal TFO, TFO Stanton has conducted interviews, executed search warrants and made arrests. While TFO Stanton’s firearm and computer were issued by BPD, the FBI provided him with a desk and an additional FBI-issued computer, along with a truck to use during his TFO duties. TFO Stanton is in regular communication with his TFO supervisor at the FBI, along with other federal law enforcement officers on the task force.
What part of "Pinkertons looking for nonexistant ghosts"
Do you not understand?
What part of "fascism is here" do you not understand, pops?
So I guess your definition of fascism...
...when the cops get shot at, they arrest the guy then do fascism on him?
Your red ryder bullshit is getting old.
He's in the hands of the feds and the Commonwealth will get a crack at him...later.
So, what's with the age cracks? Feeling a little arthritic on your crosstown bicycle rides? Getting a little winded? Knees starting to crack a bit? Looking online for magic cures?
Heh. Buy a Subaru.
One of Trump's goons
Massachusetts Constitution declares this "a free, sovereign, and independent body politic, or state by the name of THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS". Screw the feds.
working
How does this work in real life. The officer is a member of the BPD and FBI. To which organization is he most loyal too, Example: if he gets conflicting orders.
This setup stinks.
I'm not part of this org and
I'm not part of this org and am just guessing, but having worked for some joint government operations before, there is a momorandum of understanding, or similar doc that outlines the working relationship. Happens all the time.
Thank you for the info
