DC police officer says he was ordered to omit federal agent shooting at a driver in traffic stop report

[Anonymous]

A Washington DC police officer made the stunning admission that he was told to omit from a report the fact that a federal agent fired multiple times at a driver during a traffic stop.

The officer’s admission comes amid a series of shootings involving federal agents deployed to cities under the Donald Trump administration. It also reflects a broader pattern in which charges brought by federal agents are often dismissed once they reach court.

Last week, Metropolitan police department (MPD) officer Jason Sterling testified in court that he had been instructed by a “team leader” not to disclose details of a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent firing three times at a man, Phillip Brown, in Washington DC during a traffic stop earlier this month, according to the man’s lawyer, Quo Mieko S Judkins, Washington City Paper first reported.
..

At one point, officers noticed Brown’s car “traveling at a normal speed”, but switching lanes a few times “just as officer Sterling activated the emergency equipment to affect [sic] a traffic stop”, the outlet reported
..

According to Judkins, an HSI officer fired at Brown during the encounter. Although none of the bullets hit him, two went through his passenger seat and another tore near his jacket’s collar.

4 days in jail and shot at by federal agents for a lane change? Federal told police to lie on court record in a federal case? When will these criminals federal agents be arrested and charged?

It says missing front tages, so whether it was due to the lane changes is not clear.
But being told to leave details out of the report, and also the footage being "locked down" and not made available to his attorney. Plea deal negotiated (from felony fleeing to misdemeaor) might have been reduced even further (or not, but still)

Oh, but US attorney DC office will do an "internal investigation."
