A homeless man living on national forest land was shot by federal police. He's now suing

A Idaho family's violent eviction is one of the most egregious cases of unhoused people facing hostility from police for having nowhere else to go.

You can debate the need to arrest, but creating a ruse that ends up with the man being shot several times?

    Most people will do anything not to shoot. Even most cops.

    I agree their ruse wasn’t needed and needlessly escalated the situation.

    That’s the shit I’m beyond fed up with. The needless escalation of shit.

    They wanted to feel all undercover.

        in GRIZZLY territory too of course they need a small firearm.

        .22 is just gonna piss off a grizzly. I’d say .357 Magnum or larger.

          As someone who has lived in grizzly country, .357 magnum is the usual recommendation.

          You’re better off crouching and covering your head than shooting them with a .22.
