"When Fihe arrived at the scene, Agent Burk stood outside the home's front door and waved the officer over to where he was standing," the lawsuit said. "Even though Agent Burk had both hands raised and had represented that he is a federal agent, officer Fihe immediately drew his weapon and pointed it ... while simultaneously screaming at (Burk) to get on the ground."

This is the epitome of mixed feelings!! LOL

Well that's interesting. I'd like to see that video. If his claims are true, somebody is gonna' be in trouble..............

I suppose a federal law enforcement agency can sue a state law enforcement agency?

If the agent's account is factual, what were those CPD officers smoking ? Were they a different ice cream flavor than the agent ? Thanks.

Isn’t that how almost ALL arrests go? ATF just got first hand knowledge of how MOST cops handle things. Not ALL cops, but most...so, did we get that shotgun out of the hands of a (possible) felon?

Is he suing because he didn't get to shoot the dog?

Looks like both were "plain vanilla" ice cream to me.

But, seriously, this agent's sloppy-casual dress would make me think he was not a real cop either.
Federal agents and detectives should dress like you expect a detective to dress,
not like a newspaper delivery boy.

When I was with the DAs office I repeatedly suggested to the local drug task force that they not raid peoples' homes dressed like bums,
in jeans and T-shirts.
Just because they have a badge hanging on their belt (or a police I.D. dangling around their neck) doesn't negate the fact that they don't really look like cops.

Police might just defund themselves, how bout that
