A DEA agent accused of killing a cyclist in Salem while on duty had his case presented before a federal appeals court today in Seattle.

At the center of today’s hearing was whether the agent could claim immunity from state prosecution because he was an on-duty federal agent.

On March 28, 2023, Marganne Allen was riding her bike home from work in southeast Salem.

Video from that day shows a black pickup truck running a stop sign moments before striking and killing the cyclist.

The DEA agent wants his case moved to federal court, where he can claim federal immunity. A federal judge agreed (disgusting). The state of Oregon is appealing that decision.

I would add 10 years just for asking

[null and void]

Our “Betters” can quite literally get away with murder, retail or wholesale...

Become a fed, avoid liability.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Was killing cyclists a normal part of his job duties? Was he specifically required to run that stop sign as part of an assigned task? If not, then no immunity.

[Waverunner]

So he was in an unmarked vehicle, with no lights or siren on, in a non emergency situation, and makes the decision to run a stop sign, and the result is the death of an innocent citizen. What’s next, shooting an unarmed civilian in the Halls of Congress. I hope he was terminated immediately AG Garland. Oops, AG, that only happens to federal employees who use the wrong pronoun. I’m sure the printers are running non stop at the white house spewing out pardons for “Joe” air quotes to sign.

Change of venue to a Washington DC district court, where feds take care of feds.

“No one is above the law!“ - all democrat media.

[bray]

In Oregon the biker probably ran the stopsign too.

In a federal police state it’s nice being any sort of federal policeman.

I think that’s what we are becoming.

“Become a fed, avoid liability.”

Except if you are President Trump.

[bigbob]

No one (except a democrat) is above the law

[Nervous Tick]

I am not aware of any “vigilante immunity law”. In Oregon or anywhere else.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, just like Ruby Ridge and Waco.

[ByteMercenary]

“I hope he was terminated immediately ...”

‘terminated’ ... that can mean so many things, some more appropriate than others.

No one (except a democrat) is above the law

The cyclist was almost certainly a Democrat.

The DEA agent might -- or might not -- be a Democrat.

[mewzilla]

It’s good to be Deep State.

Who does he think he is, Lon Horuchi?
