New take on cops executing citizens

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Instead of busting through the dude's front door at 3:00 AM and executing him in his bed, the cops just blast this poor bastard outside the funeral home where he carried his father's casket to the hearse.  Maybe the family gets a BOGO on funerals?

Damn...

[UTGrad98 2271]

Picture doesn't make sense. And they were US marshals. 

[South Austin 52463]

This seems all sorts of fucked up. I want to hear more.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Yeah, I would expect the feds would have things a little tighter than that, but I'm not ready to discount the story as told in the OP yet.

[Buzzrock 14918]

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.

So did they just open the casket and throw him in?

"There was no warning whatsoever,” family friend Cassandra Whitecotton said.

That's a porn star name if there ever was one.

"CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Jason Arnie Owens helped carry his father’s casket to the hearse, then turned to embrace a relative. He never made it to the cemetery."

Oh, I think he made it there.

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?”

US Marshalls:

Sounds like murder.

I found a picture of the Marshall.

Should've put the funeral on Sunday so the cops would've had to respect the Sunday truce.

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.

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

I'm starting to wonder if some of these blatant cases of execution aren't dirty cops / marshals being paid off by the cartels or other unsavory characters to get rid of a "problem".

I'm guessing US marshals don't wear body cams?

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...

[SquishMitten 10403]

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.
