I’m going to be a customer by summer. I’m planning a 15 trip to Glacier, Yellowstone, and Tetons and will be able to check in a few days here and there.

Did a federal law enforcement agent have the authority to arrest/detain Good for the crime she was committing?

---

In a word. Yes. She was obstructing a federal officer in the line of his or her duty.

Covered by 18 U.S.C. § 111 and yes as federal law enforcement officers they are well within the power of their duties to arrest the person violating the law.

May have missed it on here, but heard a chinook pilot was injured and shot up. Dropped the delta boys off, and then flew back bleeding. Not sure what your son does in these kind of missions, but has he told you this? If you spoken much to him since of course.

I will neither confirm nor deny the first part.


My son flies on the Blackhawks. He wasn’t on the mission which makes him sort of pissed. He had leave scheduled for the first time in 5 years around Christmas and therefore was unavailable. We have spoken a lot since this happened but not about this so much.

We’ve spoken about a few of his missions mostly because I can open source a lot of what goes on and then we talk about other stuff around the mission. For example, the crew we lost in the Med a couple Novembers ago were all his buddies (different company but he knew them well) and we spoke about how hard it hit him to be the first recovery bird on scene except for that DAPs buddy bird.


The thing about the Regiment guys is they take the “quiet professional” part extremely serious. That’s why there has been 1 book ever written by a 160th guy and he is pretty much PNG on the compound.

Awesome. The big thing is, it’s not really the technology.

These guys practiced this raid for weeks, they knew every step each other were going to take. Over, and over, and over again they ran through it. From getting on each helicopter to getting back off everyone knew where each other would be.


One of the biggest fights my son has had (he is a guy who does missions like this) is an Air Force PJ got on his helicopter and moved one thing of his. My son blew up at the PJ and the PJ thought he wasn’t going to back down. They ended up in a fist fight outside the helicopter with my son winning. These guys are the most detailed orientated people you can imagine and then, once they done it a thousand times they do it again with different contingencies- guys getting hurt, aircraft malfunctioning etc.


The weeks leading up to a planned op like this are extremely long nights and redundant. The worst is when they go through all the work up only to have the mission cancelled.

Douchiest, clone like fanbase in CFB. Just very odd.

They aren’t that even in the SEC, lest we forget A&M.

The breakdown of that video without the other angles is 100% misleading. The officer in front of the vehicle was struck by the vehicle and fired through the windshield. He was mostly in front of a weaponized vehicle when he drew his weapons and fired the first round.


100000% justified.

It’s a factual statement to say the car was moving away from the cop when he fired his weapon.

It was not at the fist shot and had already made violent contact with him.

After she hit him and for his follow up shot he was to the side. By then where was she going? Were there other officers in her path who with the momentum she now had were in even higher danger?


The only fact is if she were compliant when told to get out of the vehicle she is alive in jail and not dead in the morgue.
