The police aren\u2019t releasing their side of the story yet, but it looks as though Lemp hadn\u2019t even been charged with any crimes\u2014police were simply executing a search warrant on what they deemed a \u201chigh-risk\u201d target. The SWAT team threw stun grenades into his room, where he and his pregnant girlfriend were sleeping, then shot Lemp to death. Scott suspects that the officers responsible will face few to no repercussions for this crime, as is almost always the case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discussed on the show:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cDid Maryland Police Shoot And Kill A Sleeping Man?\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theamericanconservative.com\/articles\/did-maryland-police-shoot-and-kill-a-sleeping-man\/\">The American Conservative<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWaco: The Rules of Engagement (1997)\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0120472\/\">IMDb<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPotomac man killed in police-involved shooting in Maryland\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/public-safety\/potomac-man-killed-in-police-involved-shooting-in-maryland\/2020\/03\/12\/d230bf60-64aa-11ea-acca-80c22bbee96f_story.html\">The Washington Post<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cJames Bovard Playboy 2000 Flash Bang You\u2019re Dead SWAT Team Abuse\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/jimbovard.com\/Bovard_Playboy_2000_SWAT_Flash_Bang.htm\">jimbovard.com<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jim Bovard is a columnist for USA Today and the author of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Public-Policy-Hooligan-Rollicking-Washington-ebook\/dp\/B00AKZH97W\"><em>Public Policy Hooligan: Rollicking and Wrangling from Helltown to Washington<\/em><\/a>.
