Man dies in police shooting after Farmington traffic stop
HIs mom is going after the police pretty hard. She's also a sovereign citizen with bad history with the cops.
Family releases statement after 25-year-old killed in Farmington officer-involved shooting
He was driving a car with sovcit plates, his mother is a well-known sovcit in her town, he tried to participate as a sovcit in her court case last year, and when he was pulled over last week, he went full sovcit.
@jjmacnab According toa statement by the family the engine was still running on his car after the shooting. The guy refused to even do that much. Which is of course a safety issue for police because he's seconds away from running someone over like that.
The only surprise I'm taking away from this entire story is that apparently some states issue "Sovereign Citizen" license plates.
@Tarnagh No states issue such plates. You can only buy them online from charlatans.
Thanks for the clarification! I wondered about that because it didn't seem to make any sense.
@jjmacnab if they’re not citizens with the responsibilities of being one they should be expelled. No rights without responsibility!
@jjmacnab I am both horrified and fascinated by the video. I've seen short clips of Sovereign Citizen babble, but never that extended.
Yikes.
And thank you.
@jjmacnab watched the video before I saw the original post. My first thought was that he is a sovereign citizen and whoever chose to tell him he could get away with this crap is partly to blame for his death. Having said that, the number of shots fired and the manner in which they were seems a bit disjointed and excessive.
They've released the body cam footage. 100% sovcit gibberish.
Warning: graphic video
