Here’s a photo of Montgomery County MD SWAT team members standing by the covered corpse of Duncan Lemp, killed minutes earlier when a SWAT officer shot him 5 times through his bedroom window. This is a police video made shortly after the killing – no video exists of Duncan’s death. Thanks to <\/span>Judicial Watch lawsuit for prying out these post-killing videos.\u00a0 As Lemp family lawyer Rene Sandler disclosed, Montgomery County signed a labor agreement with the police union which allowed the SWAT team to \u201copt out of the truth and transparency by not being required to wear body camera or videotaping a no knock raid.\u201d This is par for the course for police unions across the nation utterly sabotaging police accountability.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The video carefully documented the guns in Duncan’s bedroom which supposedly absolved the predawn killing.<\/p>\n

The Montgomery County government continues to withhold the vast majority of evidence in this case, including most of the evidence acquired by a grand jury last year.<\/p>\n

Here’s a link to my recent update on the Lemp killing<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
