#ICE officer in #Maine #shooting has history of #violent behavior, family & records say The ICE officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army vet who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood & never should have been given a #badge & #gun to #patrol #US streets, several of his close relatives told AP. #Trump #law #immigration #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #MafiaState https://apnews.com/article/ice-david-brouillette-johan-guerrero-maine-shooting-dbc30d6d59e2a95fb470afc188e125c6

#DavidBrouillette has a history of terrifying & #violent behavior, acc/to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking #women in his life over the years, & one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat. Brouillette’s troubling past further challenges how #DHS has vetted recruits as it went on a hiring spree to help carry out #Trump’s #immigration crackdown. #law #ICE #Sturmabteilung #murder #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality

#EdMartin was given personal control of two investigations he had long championed∶ Investigating the prosecutions of #Jan6 insurgents — even though all of those convicted, including #violent #criminals, received clemency from #Trump — & a probe into President Biden’s use of an autopen. #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #ToddBlanche #Trump #retribution

Since #Trump pardoned every member of the #J6 mob, 33 out of the approximately 1,500 released have been convicted of other #violent #crimes, a rate of 2.2%. Elsenet, sumdood is arguing that this is no big deal because, and I quote, "The national violent crime rate is 4.4%." He argues that therefore, J6ers are less violent than the average person. Unfortunately for him (but fortunately for everyone else!) he's not even close. There were about 1.3 million violent crimes *reported* in the US last year, out of a population of about 330 million. Assuming one criminal and one victim per crime—which isn't necessarily the case, of course, but it's a reasonable approximation—that's a rate of 0.4%, not 4% or more. The #arrest and #conviction rates are much lower. There are about 500,000 violent crime arrests each year, or 0.15%. I can't find conviction numbers at the moment, but they must be lower than arrest numbers: for convenience, let's say 0.10% of the population, 2/3 of those arrested, are convicted. 2.2% is a lot more than 0.10%. Even a #Republican ought to be able to figure that out.
