Local law enforcement have got to be in the pockets of Ma and Pa Rekieta. When you read about that poor law abiding guy who managed an airport and collected guns who just legally sold a couple of his guns at local gun shows when the ATF came storming down to his house at the crack of dawn and shot the poor fucker dead and you compare what happened there with what happened when Rekieta's house got raided for an actual provable crime -- it's like chalk and fucking cheese.
Nobody thought this guy was supplying the cartels. They had a theory that he was selling so many of his own guns that he should have had a firearm dealer licence, but he was just a law abiding gun collector who liked guns. They didn't need to go in all gung ho to protect the evidence. They could have just made an appointment and showed up.
You couldn't sue for the body cams in that instance, because despite there being multiple forces on the raid, ATF, local police, local sheriffs, etc. nobody had their body cam turned on -- and they taped up the house's security cams as well, just to be on the safe side. Literally, seconds after they'd breached the front door (at the crack of dawn) they'd shot the guy dead.
Meanwhile, these Kandiyohi fuckers are fighting tooth and nail to protect Rekieta's privacy?
Something smells rotten here.
