OTA,
Thank you for the updates and for the links to the article. I apologize for my rant and withdraw my attacks on Mr. Braga. While this situation still seems fishy judging by the newspapers, I was not aware that the evidence had been presented to a Grand Jury and this does put things in a different light.

Best regards,
Lloyd

Lloyd:
My point thoughout my posts rests mainly on the premise that I won't post what I don't know or cannot prove through independent sources. Many of the posts here beginning with Mr. McGee's claim, later recanted, that ALL of the ATF, FBI SWAT / HRT / SRT team members come DIRECTLY from Military Specops groups reeks of unsubstantiation. I know it's not true and he CANNOT document it. Ditto for an alleged ATF fatal shooting in Towson MD. The same internet that provides access to this forum also constitutes the greatest research tool in the world. Everyone should use it to engage in research before putting mouth in gear.

It's Interesting that the title of this thread "The Scout, the Suspect and the SWAT team shooting" is the title of an article on the shooting in the Baltimore Sun, the same newspaper which I linked to with the articles about the Grand Jury investigation! Nobody cared to do the follow up. Listening to both sides of the story legitimizes debate, listening to one side simply legitimizes propaganda.

Best Regards: OTA

I did not see the evidence presented to the Grand Jury but I am quite aware that any good attorney can to use a very famous quote indict a ham sandwich. By only presenting some of the evidence and not presenting enough evidence certainly the grand jury can come back with no true bill but that does not mean there was not enough evidence to indictr only that a prosecutor choose the evidence presented to avoid an indictment. Is this the case here I surely do not know. But I do know the agents did not follow standard procedure for the stop and a young man was severely injured. Such situations call for a petit jury trial.
