That is all kinds of fucked up. Worth keeping an eye on.

Last night in Atlanta two deputies were killed while serving a warrant, and then the shooter barricaded himself in his house. SWAT got him out alive. So it can be done.

Marshals don't have a history of this, but goes to show cops is cops is cops.

At least it wasn't a black dude?  Demonstrates that this is a problem for everyone, but still worse for the browns.

OK...

Witnesses also dispute the U.S. Marshals' assertion that first aid was performed right away, before emergency medical services arrived.

"They yelled Jason’s name. They just said ‘Jason’ and then started firing,” Whitecotton said. “There was no identifications they were U.S. Marshals — anything. They did not render this man any aid at all. Never once they touched him to render any aid whatsoever.”

Some mourners instinctively rushed toward Owens after he fell to the ground, Swiger said, but were told by one of the officers, “You step back or I’ll shoot you.”

What if more than one person turned around when they yelled “Jason?”

WV is 92% white. Cops are too lazy to look that hard for a minority to shoot, but really want to shoot someone.

Relatives and supporters protested outside the Harrison County Courthouse last week, accusing law enforcement authorities of overreach in the death of Owens, who was white.

Is it normal for journalists to point out race in the middle of the article when it's not necessary to the story?

There was a subtle point there...

It was subtle, but odd as well so I did a little digging. Appears to be a white supremacist with a history of evading arrest and violence against cops. Obviously, not an excuse if the story is fairly accurate, but there may have been somewhat of a vendetta against him.
