Federal agent opens fire after traffic stop, chase in Southeast DC

[Anonymous]

federal agent opened fire in Southeast D.C. after a traffic stop and police chase, D.C. police say. The gunfire marks the second time in less than a month that a federal agent on the president’s task force fired shots after a traffic stop.

The agent opened fire on Benning Road NE on Thursday afternoon, the Metropolitan Police Department said in what they called a preliminary account. No injuries were reported.

D.C. police and federal partners “working together under the DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force” spotted a traffic violation and pulled someone over at Pennsylvania and Minnesota avenues SE at about 4:45 p.m., an MPD spokesman said in a statement.

The driver fled and members of the task force pursued them.

“A short time later, a federal agent involved in the vehicle pursuit discharged their firearm in the 3400 block of Benning Road, Northeast,” police said.

The suspect was later taken into custody. D.C. police did not open fire, the spokesman said.

The suspect’s name was not released, nor was information on any charges

Wonder what the traffic violation was? Maybe improper lane change like last time?

The real question is why the driver fled.

Um, he was being shot at?

The REAL question is why is some dipshit legend in his own mind OPENING FIRE WITH A GUN IN A PUBLIC PLACE. I hope they charge that agent with every crime they can think of and he goes to prison for a very, very long time.

I give the Agent the benefit of the doubt until shown otherwise. Why assume someone breaking the law in one way also posed no additional threat you know nothing about? You know nothing, but are quick to judge - that's the behavior of an ignoramus, by definition.

They know less than nothing. They couldn’t even process the timeline of the story. They robotically defaulted to ACAB.

DCUM never disappoints. Which is to say, it always does.

There's so much unchecked criminality in DC. I am thankful for the federal support.

My inclination is to believe the Federal agent acted reasonably until proven otherwise.

Sure bro. The Federal agents are nothing more than criminals. They have lied in every arrest and in court. This is the second they have opened fire on people because of improper lane change.

You need to move back to Russia.

No one “opens fire” for a lane change. Fleeing from a traffic stop is a crime, likely a felony.

Umm we don’t shoot people summarily because they are fleeing a traffic stop. or for any other crime unless they are threatening to kill the officer.

Which is almost certainly the case here.

Open firing at a fleeing car in the middle of rush hour traffic? Sorry no, that is unreasonable until proven otherwise.

The car was driving away, even in the account of the police.
