Too much information to copy and paste. Why not just go to the Man's office during business hours and arrest him at the airport?

The 1-sided version sounds bad and I'd sure like to here the other side. Specifically:

Why a no knock warrant for something with max 6 month penalty?

If the concern really just setting up table at a gun show to sell off some of his personal collection? That sure sounds like a "can you and your client show up at our office at 10 AM?" kind of thing vs armed entry.

What evidence do you have other fear porn lefty style reporting that they didn’t knock?

The reason to imply shit like “at this time there is no publicly available evidence that shows blah blah blah” says the guy really hoping to buy a summer home in Martha’s Vineyard on this. Either the guy is willfully stupid, or he’s ginning up public support.

For instance, of course there is no BWC footage. The only two field divisions that are in the pilot program are Phoenix and Detroit. There is no footage because DOJ hasn’t issued body cameras or drafted policy or figured out storage of the footage.

The article is really written by BLM standards.

1. I actually clicked the security cam footage in the linked article. There is no evidence because the officers put something over the camera before making entry. If they hadn't done that there would have been public evidence on whether or not they knocked before entry.
2. I already said I'd like to hear the other side as I knew I was reading the 1-sided version

10 vehicles, armed agents, early am raid, ends in death of person they are attempting to arrest.

Sound more like they were going for a major drug/arms dealer than a guy selling a few guns without an FFL at a show.

How DARE he flaunt these laws. They sure showed him, yessir.

Plus, he had the balls to be white and male...

I don’t know why they chose to do that. SOP in most places is to rip them down and toss them out in the yard.

Weird behavior for a bunch of cowboys that set out for mayhem, 10 cars and all.

Perhaps ATF is trying to limit gun sales of which they are unaware by scaring potential sellers? Are they concerned about missing data in the national firearms registry database? After all, training an AI on incomplete or incorrect data is counter-productive.

For those who are unhappy about the lack of a knock before entry...of course they knocked, knocked so hard the door fell down. I'm just happy the victim didn't own a dog.

Lots of screw up with that ordeal.

The lawyer is less than honest. He chose his words carefully to evoke an emotional response.

Considering the sizable presence, style of entry, and tactics it sure seem like they achieved exactly what they set out to do.

Looks like they bagged a real monster!

Thanks for your service.

Bold and brave.

Thank god they are going after the baddies.

When it's you, be nice and just let them in.

Damn right!

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is inviting terrorists to walk into our country, and giving them credit cards and luxury hotel accommodations. Hey, no biggie.

Here is an archived news article about the incident.

Little Rock airport director Malinowski has died following shootout with ATF, airport commissioner says

Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field who was shot in the head by federal officers in a shootout Tuesday morning, has died, according to a statement from the airport.

"With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of our executive director Bryan Malinowski," said Bill Walker, chair of the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission. "Bryan was a 16-year employee of the airport. Under his leadership, our airport has experienced significant growth and success, expanding services and offerings to our community and state."

He also offered condolences to Malinowski's family and friends.

Malinowski, 53, was left brain dead after being injured in a shootout with officers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives around 6 a.m. Tuesday.

He opened fire on the officers as they attempted to serve a search warrant at his home, located in West Little Rock at 4 Durance Court.

Malinowski had served as executive director of the airport since 2019.
Originally from Pennsylvania, he earned a bachelor’s degree in aviation management from the Florida Institute of Technology and was a certified flight instructor, according to his bio on the airport’s website.

He joined the Little Rock airport in 2008 as the director of properties, planning and development after working for airports in Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania.

Malinowski went on to spend a decade as deputy executive director under then-Executive Director Ron Mathieu.
When Mathieu resigned in 2019 to take another job, Malinowski was named interim executive director.

“This is so very important to me,” Malinowski said from the dais after receiving the nod, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported at the time. “As an aviation professional, I do realize all the hard work by the people that surround you are what make you. I hope to do the very best we can not to miss a beat.”

The Airport Commission gave Malinowski the job on a permanent basis in November 2019.

Malinowski led the airport during the covid-19 pandemic, when air travel plummeted for a period of time.
During meetings of the Airport Commission — a fractious group prone to squabbling with one another over procedure — the understated, bespectacled Malinowski remained even-handed with regard to disagreements among his seven bosses, at least in public.

His base annual salary was close to $264,000, making him the highest-paid official working for the city of Little Rock or the city’s quasi-independent entities.

He probably would've if they'd announced.

I'm a simple fella but where I come from, there's probably nothing good going to happen when somebody shows up on somebody's doorstep at 6am, regardless who either of the somebodies is or the reason for being there.

Bryan and his lovely wife, Maer, now widow.

Yeah… if someone breaks down my door I’m going at them with a pistol too.
They could have arrested him at his office. It seems they got the result they wanted.

This speaks volumes.
