A federal prosecutor revealed on Monday that the suspected assassin, who shot Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman and state Rep. Melissa Hortman along with their spouses early Saturday morning, also visited the residences of two other state lawmakers between the attacks.
Vance Boelter, the 57-year-old man accused of murdering Hortman and her husband and attempting to kill Hoffman and his wife, stopped by the homes of two other politicians while impersonating a law enforcement officer, according to Joseph Thompson, the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota, USA Today <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/06/16/minnesota-shooting-vance-luther-boelter-charges-live-updates/84224901007/">reported</a>. Thompson didn&#8217;t name the other two lawmakers, but said one was a state representative and the other was a state senator.
After shooting and wounding Sen. Hoffman and his wife, Boelter traveled to the home of a state representative in Maple Grove, Minnesota. After arriving at the home, Boelter rang the doorbell at around 2:24 a.m., Thompson said during a press conference on Monday.
&#8220;Again, he was dressed as a law enforcement officer, wearing a tactical vest and body armor, carrying a handgun and a flashlight, and wearing that same hyper-realistic silicon mask,&#8221; the prosecutor <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/minnesota-shooting-suspect-went-to-the-homes-of-two-other-elected-officials-us-attorney-says/">added</a>.
&#8220;Fortunately, the state representative was not home. She and her family were gone on vacation,&#8221; Thompson said. &#8220;So Boelter left.&#8221;
The suspected assassin then traveled to another state senator&#8217;s home in New Hope, Minnesota. Outside of the home, Boelter parked his black SUV, which had a police license plate, in the street. As Boelter was parked outside, a New Hope police officer arrived on the scene to do a wellness check on the lawmaker after learning that Hoffman and his wife had been shot. The New Hope police officer believed Boelter was another officer who had been dispatched to do a wellness check and rolled down the window of her patrol car to speak with him.
&#8220;Boelter did not respond. According to the officer, he just sat there and stared straight ahead,&#8221; Thompson said. &#8220;So the New Hope police officer who had been dispatched to the scene proceeded to the state senator’s home, and she waited for other law enforcement to arrive. When they did, by the time they did, Boelter had left the scene.&#8221;
The suspected assassin&#8217;s next target was state Rep. Hortman in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, where he shot and killed her and her husband, Mark, in their home. Boelter allegedly had a &#8220;hit list,&#8221; containing the names of numerous Democratic lawmakers and abortion clinics in his vehicle, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-the-hit-list-found-in-minnesota-gunmans-vehicle">reported</a>. Among those named on the &#8220;hit list&#8221; were Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Angie Craig, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.
Boelter, who was appointed to Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz’s Workforce Development Council in 2019, was &#8220;very conservative,&#8221; his roommate <a href="https://x.com/lilialuciano/status/1934315979687010680">told</a> CBS News. The roommate added that Boelter &#8220;would be offended if people thought he was a Democrat,&#8221; referring to rumors spreading on social media that Boelter was a leftist.
The suspected assassin was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/authorities-catch-suspected-minnesota-assassin?author=Daniel+Chaitin&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Suspect+In+Minnesota+Political+Assassination+Captured+Alive">arrested</a> by authorities in a wooded area near his home on Sunday. He is charged with six counts, including stalking, murder, and multiple firearms-related offenses, according to USA Today.
&#8220;It is not an exaggeration to say that his crimes are the stuff of nightmares,&#8221; Thompson <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/06/16/minnesota-shooting-vance-luther-boelter-charges-live-updates/84224901007/">said</a>. &#8220;Boelter stalked his victims like prey.&#8221;

When riots broke out in Los Angeles in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, the police response was hamstrung by politics, according to one California sheriff.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says the violence and destruction that erupted in Los Angeles over the weekend would never have happened in his county.
&#8220;We know how to stop these,&#8221; Bianco said in an interview with The Daily Wire.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to criticize other law enforcement leaders, but it was not handled correctly,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I do not believe that the leaders of law enforcement were not impacted by politics because I know they know how to end this. I know they know how to make it go away, and it was not done.&#8221;
Violent protesters have spent the past five days causing chaos in Los Angeles, assaulting law enforcement, destroying property, and setting cars on fire as they attempt to prevent ICE agents from doing their jobs and arresting criminal illegal aliens.
&#8220;I will tell you this, that would never happen in Riverside County because there would never be a mayor standing in front of a news camera blaming law enforcement for anything or encouraging people to come down and protest while riots were happening while the police chief is standing right next to her. That would never, ever happen here,&#8221; Bianco said. &#8220;This is happening in Los Angeles County and possibly other places because it&#8217;s political. It&#8217;s because of the people making the decisions.&#8221;
In 2020, Bianco was able to get Black Lives Matter riots under control quickly in Riverside, he said.
&#8220;They should have done the exact same thing this time, but instead they fell back into the same political black hole that Los Angeles always falls into, and they don&#8217;t prosecute, they don&#8217;t arrest, and they just allow this to happen,&#8221; he said.
Bianco is running as a Republican in California&#8217;s gubernatorial election next year, aiming to oust liberal Governor Gavin Newsom. He blamed Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the riots, saying they should not go on television and &#8220;spew political rhetoric.&#8221;
During a Wednesday press conference, Bass <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/la-mayor-bass-rips-trump-claims-city-part-national-experiment-test-federal-power-amid-anti-ice-riots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the riots were &#8220;provoked by the White House&#8221; and suggested Los Angeles is &#8220;part of a national experiment to determine how far the federal government can go.&#8221;
&#8220;You know what they should be doing? Both of them should be sitting on their couch watching their TV from the safety of their own home,&#8221; Bianco said. &#8220;All they are doing is making it worse, and they&#8217;re purposely doing it.&#8221;
&#8220;They do not like law enforcement,&#8221; Bianco said. &#8220;They enjoy criminal behavior because it creates an environment they can politically take control of and act like they&#8217;re the heroes for saving us, when the reality is they created it.&#8221;
&#8220;They prevented law enforcement from doing anything, it gets completely out of hand, and then they jump up and down and say, oh, now we&#8217;re going to arrest all these bad actors and this needs to stop,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They should have done that four days ago, five days ago, and neither one of them did because they make this 100% political. They use it for a political tool, and it&#8217;s an absolute disgrace.&#8221;
&#8220;Get out of the way of their chiefs of police and their sheriff&#8217;s offices and let them maintain peace. That is what we do. We are the experts doing it,&#8221; the sheriff said.
Bianco emphasized that when rioters are allowed to film themselves destroying property and post it on social media for &#8220;likes and clicks&#8221; with no consequences, it encourages more bad actors to go to that area.
&#8220;If you are going to enable criminal activity, it&#8217;s just going to grow and grow and grow, and we watched that happen for the first three days, four days of these riots and nothing was happening. There was no arrests,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There was no consequence for any of these people.&#8221;
Often, the sheriff said, he has to send his own officers to Los Angeles when riots there go south. Bianco is already responsible for the safety of 2.4 million people in Riverside County, the 10th largest county in the country, which sits just east of Los Angeles.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not happy. I mean, I will always do it. I have to protect law enforcement. I have to help protect Los Angeles County, but we should have done this five days ago, not yesterday,&#8221; Bianco said.
Bianco also told The Daily Wire he&#8217;s heard cops on the line express frustration that their hands are tied during riots.
&#8220;The vast majority of the cops that are on the line want to end the rioting,&#8221; Bianco said. &#8220;They want to arrest the people that are throwing things at them. They want to arrest the people that are trying to hurt them, vandalize property, start fires, and do all those things.&#8221;
However, until officers get the word from leadership, they &#8220;just have to sit there and be the victims of assaults with a deadly weapon,&#8221; the sheriff said.
The solution, Bianco said, is an &#8220;overwhelming show of force from law enforcement and a zero tolerance for criminal activity, and then you can truly have a legitimate protest instead of what we have currently, which is just riots.&#8221;
&#8220;When the leaders prevent it strictly for politics, which that&#8217;s all this is, then it creates a bad environment with very, very low morale when leaders don&#8217;t stick up for their troops,&#8221; the sheriff said.
Bianco also noted that while police chiefs can be &#8220;fired at any moment if they don&#8217;t do what the politicians say,&#8221; California sheriffs are elected.
&#8220;There is not one politician that could affect how I handled my riots,&#8221; he said.
President Donald Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to help local law enforcement get the situation under control. The troops are being used to secure streets and perimeters in areas where ICE is carrying out enforcement actions, <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/national-guard-troops-protecting-ice-agents/3720717/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to U.S. officials.
Democrats were apoplectic at the announcement that approximately 700 Marines were headed to Los Angeles, and Newsom filed an emergency motion to block what he called an “unlawful militarization” of the city.
&#8220;They know that the National Guard and the Marines will never be used against citizens. It is against the law,&#8221; Bianco said. &#8220;All of these ignorant politicians and disingenuous politicians that are trying to make the general public think that the military is being used against citizens is disgusting because it is an absolute, flat-out lie.&#8221;
&#8220;They blamed everything on the president who tried to come in and save everybody after,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They want us to forget the timeline.&#8221;

Macklemore, a rapper best known for the 2012 song “Thrift Shop,” was the victim of a home invasion at his Seattle residence over the weekend while his children and nanny were there. 
According to the police report, two men allegedly entered the residence just after midnight on Saturday morning. A woman later identified as the family nanny was able to escape and call 911 after she was hit with a blast of bear spray. 
“She escaped, but three children were still inside the house,” the report said, per <a href="https://people.com/macklemore-seattle-home-reportedly-robbed-3-children-inside-cops-11751678">People</a>. “[The caller] also added that the house belonged to a high-profile individual.”
The woman claims the intruders yelled at her, asking, “Where are the jewels, b*tch?” She then said she brought them to a bedroom and observed as the thieves “went through drawers, cabinets and raided the closet full of clothing, jewelry, and shoes.”
Social media users are pointing out the hypocrisy of police being dispatched to his home during a crisis after the rapper released the song “Hind’s Hall” last year, which was critical of law enforcement and referred to police officers as “actors with badges.”
The report also noted that the nanny believed the attack was “politically motivated for some reason.”
The 41-year-old recording artist, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, shares three children with his wife. The family lives in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. 
Macklemore was in Ireland at the time of the alleged break-in, per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/06/10/macklemore-seattle-home-burglary-nanny-bear-maced/">TMZ</a>.
Macklemore&#8217;s anti-police single is also explicitly anti-Israel.
“Block the barricade until Palestine is free/When I was seven, I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy-E,” the lyrics say. “What was it again? Oh yeah, f** the police/Actors in badges protecting property/And a system that was designed by white supremacy.”
The song was also critical of former President Joe Biden. &#8220;The blood is on your hands Biden, we can see it all,&#8221; the lyrics said. &#8220;And f*** no, I’m not voting for you in the fall.&#8221;
In 2023, at an anti-Israel rally in Washington, D.C., Macklemore took the stage and told the crowd, “I don’t know enough, but I know enough that this is a genocide,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rapper-slammed-after-encouraging-crowd-to-chant-fk-america">reported</a>.  Macklemore made headlines in 2024 for encouraging a crowd at a Seattle concert to chant, &#8220;F*** America.&#8221;

Authorities in Pontiac, Michigan, likely stopped a mass shooting at a high school graduation ceremony earlier this week, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard revealed on Friday.
On Tuesday, Sheriff&#8217;s deputies were called to break up a fight at the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac graduation, and after arriving, were told about a shooting threat posted on social media, The Detroit News <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2025/06/06/sheriff-seeks-suspect-in-foiled-mass-shooting-at-pontiac-graduation/84070198007/">reported</a>. Aided by security footage from the United Wholesale Mortgage&#8217;s Sports Complex, where the graduation was taking place, authorities discovered that two men had placed packages underneath vehicles. Both packages contained handguns with 40-round magazines.
&#8220;When you combine that with the post that had been seen, that someone planned to shoot up this graduation, in our business we call that a clue,&#8221; Sheriff Bouchard said. &#8220;These weren’t brought to be simple accessories. &#8230; I believe we probably prevented a mass shooting.&#8221;
&#8220;Just those two weapons, without changing magazines, had 80 rounds of potential firepower,&#8221; Bouchard added. &#8220;Shooting into a graduation, you can only imagine the outcome of that.&#8221;
Deputies arrested a 19-year-old suspect, but are still looking for 20-year-old Jamarion Hardiman, a person of interest in the alleged mass shooting plot, according to The Detroit News. The Snapchat post where the threat was made has been taken down, but <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mass-shooting-thwarted-michigan-high-school-graduation-one-suspect-arr-rcna211473">according</a> to people who saw the post, it mentioned &#8220;going to shoot up the crowd,&#8221; according to Bouchard.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer <a href="https://x.com/GovWhitmer/status/1931057752744587505">said</a> on Friday that her &#8220;office has been in touch with local officials. I am grateful to first responders for acting fast and saving lives in Pontiac.&#8221;
The graduation ceremony proceeded after only two minutes of disruption, according to Septembra Williams, superintendent of the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac. Both of the suspects in the alleged shooting threat &#8220;have a history of being involved with weapons and violence,&#8221; and the 20-year-old person of interest is currently on probation for a previous weapons case, according to Sheriff Bouchard.
Authorities do not believe that either of the two suspects attended the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac, but they likely had family and friends at the graduation ceremony.
In November of 2021, Oxford High School — less than 20 miles north of Pontiac — was targeted in a mass shooting, where a teenage shooter killed four students and wounded seven other people.

Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, released body-cam footage on Friday of a police-involved shooting in April that resulted in the death of a 36-year-old man.
The Fairfax County Police Department <a href="https://fcpdnews.wordpress.com/2025/05/23/chief-kevin-davis-releases-body-camera-footage-from-attempted-murder-of-officers-in-fair-oaks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the shooting an “attempted murder.” Footage showed a traffic stop in Fair Oaks from April 23 that quickly deteriorated into a firefight that involved Virginia resident Jamal Wali and three police officers.
The encounter began when a police officer pulled Wali over for speeding and having an expired inspection sticker. After the officer signaled for Wali to pull over, Wali slammed on the brakes. The officer, who was close behind, exclaimed “Jesus Christ!” as he braked to avoid hitting Wali’s car.
Wali noted he had a gun before asking why he was pulled over. From there, the situation became chaotic quickly as Wali, who said he worked as an interpreter for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, began to argue over how he has been treated since coming to the United States. Wali refused to give his name and said he had no driver’s licence or vehicle registration.
“You f***ing people brought me to this goddamn country, and I’m dying every f***ing single day,” Wali told the officer. At one point, he said he “should have served with f***ing Taliban” while the officer attempted to deescalate the situation.
The officer called for backup, noting that Wali was argumentative and appeared to reach for a weapon at several points. Two more officers arrived on the scene within minutes. After the third officer walked up, Wali grabbed his gun and fired at two police officers on the driver’s side of his vehicle, hitting both. A third officer who was on the passenger’s side of Wali’s car fired back at Wali.

Additional emergency personnel arrived at the scene. Wali was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. Two officers were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Fairfax County police chief Kevin Davis in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsAMhiTG6xA&amp;rco=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> on Friday confirmed that Wali, as he repeatedly said throughout the traffic stop, was married and had four children.
“The impact on those children is unimaginable, and they’ll carry that with them the rest of their lives,” Davis said.
“We are very fortunate that we didn’t have two police funerals,” Davis said, adding that “it was thanks to some strategic thinking, actions by our police officer who you see on the passenger side of the car, his actions his deployment of that deadly force saved the lives of the two officers on the driver’s side of the car. There’s no doubt about that.”

Security Guards at the CIA&#8217;s headquarters in McLean, Virginia, shot and wounded a woman on Thursday morning after she failed to stop at the gate, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/woman-shot-cia-headquarters-gate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The woman was transported to the hospital with what law enforcement officials described as a non-fatal gunshot wound to her upper body. The woman who crashed into the gate was identified as 27-year-old Monia Spadaro, according to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/security-incident-cia-headquarters-virginia-rcna208468" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>. In 2021, Spadaro was found guilty of driving under the influence.
“There was a security incident that law enforcement responded to outside CIA Headquarters,” a CIA spokesperson told NBC News. “The main gate is currently closed, employees should seek alternative routes. Additional details will be made available as appropriate.”
The shooting came just hours after two Israeli Embassy staffers were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israeli-embassy-staff-murdered-by-unidentified-shooter-outside-capitol-jewish-museum?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Two+Israeli+Embassy+Staffers+Murdered+By+Keffiyeh-Wearing+Man+Shouting+%E2%80%98Free+Palestine%E2%80%99+In+DC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murdered</a> by a man shouting &#8220;Free Palestine&#8221; outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. The CIA headquarters in McLean is just over 12 miles northeast of the Capital Jewish Museum, but there is currently no evidence that the two shootings are related. According to police, the shooting at the CIA headquarters was &#8220;non-fatal,&#8221; NBC 4 Washington <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/person-shot-and-wounded-on-cia-property/3919563/?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_DCBrand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

Fairfax County Police responded to help the CIA with traffic control at around 4:00 a.m. ET following the shooting.
In March, a man was <a href="https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/man-arrested-cia-headquarters-shot-at-building-court-documents-affidavit/65-4182cc05-07cc-4c5b-8195-2f846207665d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> following an hours-long standoff at the CIA headquarters. According to court documents, Robert Scofield, 28, fired several shots at a CIA building and then pointed the gun at himself. Scofield, a convicted felon, eventually surrendered after police negotiators arrived on the scene.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division said lawsuits against the Louisville, Kentucky, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, police departments would be dismissed.
The DOJ countered the lawsuits filed by the Biden administration in the waning moments of Biden’s presidency.
Those lawsuits accused the police departments of &#8220;unconstitutional policing practices by wrongly equating statistical disparities with intentional discrimination and heavily relying on flawed methodologies and incomplete data,” the DOJ <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-department-justices-civil-rights-division-dismisses-biden-era-police-investigations-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>. “They also sought to subject the Louisville and Minneapolis police departments to sweeping consent decrees that went far beyond the Biden administration’s accusations of unconstitutional conduct.”
The Minneapolis and Louisville investigations followed the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in 2020.

In April 2021, then-Attorney General Merrick B. Garland <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/21/us/politics/justice-department-minneapolis-police.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department and whether it had used excessive force or treated minorities unfairly. In 2023, Biden’s DOJ <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3889776-doj-issues-scathing-civil-rights-report-on-louisville-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> results of its investigation into the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD), saying it had acted with discriminatory behavior against black people. Both police departments reached consent decrees with the Biden administration.
The consent decree with Minneapolis <a href="https://mn.gov/mdhr/mpd/agreement/terms.jsp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enjoined</a> the police department to:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Require officers to de-escalate</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Prohibit officers from using force to punish or retaliate</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Prohibit the use of certain pretext stops</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Ban searches based on alleged smells of cannabis</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Prohibit so-called consent searches during pedestrian or vehicle stops</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Limit when officers can use force</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Limit when and how officers can use chemical irritants and tasers</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Ban “excited delirium” training</li>
</ul>
The consent decree’s demands of the Louisville police are listed <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/justice-department-secures-agreement-louisville-metro-government-reform-louisville-metros">here</a>.
“The decrees would have governed many aspects of those police departments, including their management, supervision, training, performance evaluations, discipline, staffing, recruitment, and hiring,” the DOJ continued. “In short, these sweeping consent decrees would have imposed years of micromanagement of local police departments by federal courts and expensive independent monitors, and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of compliance costs, without a legally or factually adequate basis for doing so.”
“Overbroad police consent decrees divest local control of policing from communities where it belongs, turning that power over to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, often with an anti-police agenda,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department&#8217;s Civil Rights Division declared. “Today, we are ending the Biden Civil Rights Division’s failed experiment of handcuffing local leaders and police departments with factually unjustified consent decrees.”
In addition, the Civil Rights Division “will also be closing its investigations into, and retracting the Biden administration’s findings of constitutional violations” on the part of the police departments of Phoenix, Arizona; Trenton, New Jersey; Memphis, Tennessee; Mount Vernon, New York; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and the Louisiana State Police.

A former police officer was charged last week with leaking the writings of the transgender-identifying woman who murdered three children and three adults at the Covenant School in March 2023.
But retired Lt. Garet Davidson — who was arrested and jailed on May 6 — says that he&#8217;s innocent. Davidson claims he&#8217;s being retaliated against for a complaint he filed against the department criticizing its Covenant investigation in May 2024, four months after he retired.
Davidson&#8217;s May 2024 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/17k--mes3tmiC54vjj0uiZ9NJTsc69cau/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> complaint</a> against the police department alleges numerous instances of misconduct by top police officials, including mismanagement of the Covenant investigation, a pattern of bias in disciplinary investigations, altering performance results for low-achieving recruits, avoiding accountability, and failure to follow sexual harassment policies.
Davidson&#8217;s legal team believes that the charges were brought in retaliation for his efforts to expose problems at the police department.
“The charges against retired MNPD Lieutenant Garet Davidson represent a transparent attempt to discredit and silence a whistleblower who exposed serious misconduct within the Metro Nashville Police Department,” Davidson’s legal team said. “We look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Davidson against these retaliatory charges.”
Davidson has <a href="https://tennesseestar.com/news/retired-mnpd-lt-garet-davidson-claims-fbi-told-nashville-police-not-to-release-documents-from-covenant-school-killer-audrey-elizabeth-hale-investigation-pointed-to-precedent-for-document-destruction/tpappert/2024/06/04/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">been outspoken</a> about the investigation into the Covenant shooting, telling conservative radio host Michael Patrick Leahy in June 2024 that the FBI sent a memo to police instructing them not to release any details of the attacker&#8217;s writings.
At the time, Davidson said that he had some concerns that there would be action taken against him based on the information he had shared about the FBI memo.
“I don’t put it beyond anybody,” he said. “Part of the reason why I left law enforcement was to avoid some aspects of retaliation, but that doesn’t guarantee anything.”
In the charges unveiled last week, Davidson is accused of being involved in the leak of the writings of the woman who entered the Covenant School, a Christian school in an affluent Nashville neighborhood, on March 27, 2023, and murdered six people before she was killed by police.
Following the attack, the police announced that the shooter had a &#8220;manifesto,&#8221; but refused to release it to the public. Despite that refusal, media outlets, including The Daily Wire, obtained portions and uncovered that the shooter wrote frequently of her desire to be a man and anger at her parents for resisting her so-called transition.
Prior to his arrest last week, Davidson had been linked to the police department&#8217;s investigation into the leak.
His home was raided by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in November 2024 in relation to the investigation into the leak. He faces two indictments: one charges him with theft, two counts of burglary, and 30 counts of official misconduct; the other charges him with six counts of official misconduct related to the Covenant School shooting.
The raid came after he was named in a June 2024 court filing on the leak, though he was not directly named as a leaker. That came just weeks after he filed a misconduct complaint against the police department, which included criticism of the Covenant investigation.
A GoFundMe Davidson set up to help with his legal expenses has been shut down. A spokesman for the platform told The Daily Wire that the fundraiser was removed because of its policies not to raise money for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes, including those related to money laundering, murder, robbery, assault, battery, sex crimes or crimes against minors.”
The spokesman did not further elaborate on why the fundraiser had been shut down. A <a href="https://www.givesendgo.com/garetdavidson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GiveSendGo</a> page has since been set up for Davidson&#8217;s legal fees.
Last month, the Nashville police department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nashville-police-in-final-report-downplay-covenant-shooters-transgender-identity-hatred-of-christianity?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Nashville+Police+In+Final+Report+Downplay+Covenant+Shooter’s+Transgender+Identity%2C+Hatred+Of+Christianity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> its final investigative report into the shooting. The report, released over two years after the attack, downplayed the attacker&#8217;s hatred of Christianity and fixation on gender ideology and &#8220;white privilege.&#8221;

Retired Cop Accused Of Leaking Covenant Shooter’s Diary Says He’s Being Set Up

Nashville

The Covenant School

Three of the five Memphis, Tennessee, police officers who were charged in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols in 2023 were acquitted of state charges on Wednesday.
Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith were found not guilty of all charges by a jury that deliberated for two days, Fox 13 Memphis <a href="https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/former-memphis-officers-not-guilty-of-all-charges-in-state-trial-related-to-tyre-nichols/article_64c2937c-fdfd-4714-88d9-a4b929d04376.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The former police officers faced charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of official misconduct, and official oppression. While the former officers celebrated their acquittal on state charges, they still face sentencing after being convicted of obstruction of justice in a federal trial.
The trial, which was carried out in front of an out-of-town jury from Hamilton County, Tennessee, took nine days. Prosecutors argued that Bean and Smith had a duty to intervene after their fellow officers, Desmond Mills Jr. and Emmitt Martin, began kicking Nichols in the head while he was on the ground. Haley arrived on the scene after Martin first kicked Nichols and then kicked Nichols&#8217; upper arm. According to prosecutors, Haley failed to step in and prevent escalating violence, adding that the former officer yelled, &#8220;Beat that man&#8217;s (expletive).&#8221; Haley&#8217;s defense attorney brought in a use-of-force expert during the trial who testified that Haley&#8217;s kick to Nichols&#8217; arm was an attempt to get him into handcuffs, not to continue any violence.
Nichols got into a confrontation with the Memphis Police officers after he was pulled over on January 7, 2023. Nichols attempted to flee after being pepper-sprayed and got close to his mother&#8217;s home before the officers soon caught up with him and took him to the ground. Video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udIwBuozE28&amp;list=PL8QBkS_wk32WqmDIbofsZCyneo1JbM3Tn&amp;index=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">footage</a> from a camera mounted on a nearby pole showed Nichols being kicked and punched while he was on the ground. The 29-year-old man died after being transported to a hospital.
&#8220;It&#8217;s hard for us to imagine how someone could say that none of the defendants were guilty of any of the charges,&#8221; said Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy. &#8220;I think that any fair-minded person who watched the video would come to the conclusion that everybody there had some responsibility for Tyre Nichols&#8217; death.&#8221;
Some on the Left <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/27/opinions/tyre-nichols-memphis-police-department-jones/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed</a> to the beating death of Nichols to paint the police as racist, despite all five officers being black. Demonstrators marched in Memphis following Nichols&#8217; death, demanding an end to &#8220;police terror&#8221; and claiming that police &#8220;uphold white supremacy.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_917367" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-917367" class="wp-image-917367 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-864x576.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GettyImages-1460352554-1200x800.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" />Demonstrators march in Memphis following the death of Tyre Nichols (Joe Raedle/Getty Images)</div>
All five officers accused of beating Nichols to death were fired from the Memphis Police Department shortly after his death. Bean and Smith face 20 years in federal prison after being found guilty of witness tampering. Haley could serve a life sentence in federal prison after being found guilty of using excessive force, being deliberately indifferent to Nichols&#8217; medical needs, witness tampering, and conspiracy to witness tamper, USA Today reported.
Martin and Mills Jr. both took plea deals and testified during the federal trial, while Mills also testified during the state trial. Prosecutors recommended a 40-year prison sentence for Martin and a 15-year sentence for Mills, according to Fox 13.  Sentencing for all five officers in the federal trial is expected to take place soon since the state trial has concluded.

Tyre Nichols

Three Former Memphis Police Officers Found Not Guilty In Beating Death Of Tyre Nichols

Memphis

trial

Around 10:00 a.m. on Friday, a man named Rodney Hinton went to his lawyer&#8217;s office in Ohio and watched body camera footage of his son&#8217;s death. In particular, the footage shows Hinton&#8217;s 18-year-old son, Ryan, emerging from a stolen vehicle while carrying a handgun. At one point, Ryan drops the gun, then picks it up. Soon afterwards, he&#8217;s shot and killed by a police officer. None of these facts are in dispute. The video makes it all very clear. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Armed Suspect Shot" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jbrs9MONtsA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The reason the Hinton family was watching this footage in an attorney&#8217;s office is that, of course, they were contemplating a lawsuit against the city for wrongful death. That was certainly what their attorney was thinking about. In fact, even after viewing this footage, the family&#8217;s lawyer — who incidentally works for &#8220;The Cochran Firm,&#8221; as in the late Johnny Cochran&#8217;s firm — maintained that they had a case.
Here&#8217;s what the <a href="https://local12.com/news/local/family-members-of-18-year-old-killed-by-cincinnati-officer-to-speak-out-ryan-rodney-hinton-larry-henderson-traffic-detail-deputy-mother-grandmother-police-stolen-car-arrest-murder">family&#8217;s lawyer said</a>, as a way of arguing that the police officers were somehow responsible in this scenario:
<blockquote>Being in a stolen car, having a firearm, firearms—we&#8217;re in Ohio, you know, so you can open carry in Ohio, so that&#8217;s not a death penalty.</blockquote>
Admittedly, it&#8217;s not quite as catchy as &#8220;If the glove doesn&#8217;t fit, you must acquit&#8221; but it&#8217;s still a pretty remarkable line of argument from the Cochran Firm, all things considered. After watching the footage of Ryan Hinton exiting a stolen car with a handgun, then dropping the handgun and picking it up as police chased him, and then turning towards the officers, the conclusion from these lawyers is that Ryan Hinton was murdered simply for open-carrying a firearm. He got the &#8220;death penalty&#8221; for doing nothing wrong whatsoever. Even though his gun wasn&#8217;t holstered, and even though he was waving it around while committing a felony, and even though all of this is recorded, we&#8217;re supposed to conclude that Ryan Hinton was &#8220;open-carrying.&#8221;
This is a level of shamelessness that, in another era, would lead to a flurry of lawyer jokes on late-night television. But it&#8217;s not a joke to millions of people at the moment. It certainly wasn&#8217;t a joke to Rodney Hinton, the father of the teenager who was killed. Just hours after he viewed the body camera footage of his son&#8217;s death, Rodney Hinton got in his car with the intent of executing a police officer. He saw it as an act of revenge. And ultimately, he found a target: He ran over a recently retired sheriff&#8217;s deputy who was directing traffic outside the commencement ceremony at the University of Cincinnati. The slain officer, a Hamilton County deputy named Larry Henderson, had never met his killer before. They never exchanged words. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Driver Hits Cop" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mX4fLR6egY8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Rodney Hinton knew that police were justified in killing his son because he had just watched the body-camera footage. He knew that the police did nothing wrong. If the father wanted revenge on anyone for causing his son&#8217;s death, he should have taken revenge on himself. If your 18-year-old son is out with a gun stealing cars, it means you failed as a father. Even a minimal amount of fatherly guidance would have been enough to avoid this situation.
But instead of taking revenge on himself, Rodney Hinton decided to kill a police officer who was directing traffic. This should be an open and shut case, in every sense. The father is a murderer. His &#8220;revenge&#8221; obviously cannot be defended legally. Any hope of defending it morally is destroyed by the fact that, for one thing, the shooting of Ryan Hinton was justified. And secondly, the cop he killed had nothing to do with it anyway. This is not a Gary Plauche situation, where a father ambushed and killed the man who kidnapped and molested his son. This is an act of premeditated, cold-blooded murder against a random white cop.

And yet — stop me if you&#8217;ve heard this one before — this murderer is being lionized and defended on social media. The father who just executed a sheriff&#8217;s deputy, in order to avenge his criminal son who flashed a gun at the cops, is the latest celebrity in certain corners of social media. The viral clips defending this murderer are all over TikTok. Here&#8217;s just one example:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Rodney Hinton Jr" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/09joDqHimSA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He gets the age of the so-called &#8220;kid&#8221; wrong, as he&#8217;s showing the sympathetic photos in the background. Ryan Hinton was 18, not 16, when he jumped out of the stolen car with a firearm. But the bigger issue with this video is the claim that the father &#8220;took justice into his own hands&#8221; by murdering a random police officer. Notice how there&#8217;s no pretext here, about how the officers did something wrong, or violated procedure, or any of that. There&#8217;s no explanation of how it&#8217;s &#8220;justice&#8221; to kill a random traffic cop — or to &#8220;un-alive&#8221; a traffic cop, as this guy puts it. It&#8217;s just assumed that killing a random white police officer is an appropriate response to the death of a black criminal. And millions of people find this reasoning persuasive at the moment. That&#8217;s the situation we&#8217;re now in.
For the past half-century or so, every aspect of American civic life has been devoted, at least superficially, to preventing a situation like this. If you spend trillions of dollars enacting a regime that rigidly enforces the seemingly laudable goal of &#8220;racial equality,&#8221; then surely, eventually, you&#8217;ll arrive at a point where all men are judged based solely on the content of their character. That is the grand experiment we&#8217;ve all been participating in for our entire lives. And with each passing day, it is becoming more and more clear that this experiment is crashing down all around us. We are heading, very directly, towards open and overt racial conflict.
To that end, here&#8217;s another similar video, which has more than 20,000 likes on TikTok. We&#8217;ll mute the audio because it&#8217;s obnoxious rap music. But here&#8217;s what it looks like:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Hinton Father In Custody" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1CKNljtK1Sk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It shows Rodney Hinton in court, in a jumpsuit, surrounded by a bunch of police officers. And there&#8217;s the caption that the uploader has added: &#8220;They really try to use over 30 deputies to intimidate Rodney Hinton but he kept his head up.&#8221;
Again, this post has more than 20,000 likes. This is not some random troll that didn&#8217;t get any attention. It&#8217;s one of the most popular posts about Rodney Hinton&#8217;s arrest. And people are responding to it because they genuinely believe that Hinton is a hero. There&#8217;s no rational argument that he&#8217;s innocent, or that he was justified, or that his son was innocent. This is pure racial resentment, spilling right out into the open.
Another post, with roughly 70,000 likes on TikTok, describes Rodney Hinton as a &#8220;mourning father,&#8221; complete with somber music. We&#8217;ll play part of that:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 Mourning father" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J_kxDqjdhUw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Look around any social media platform, and you&#8217;ll find plenty of posts like this. 
It&#8217;s not just TikTok. On X, <a href="https://x.com/Blackcapitalis/status/1919132779767386157">here&#8217;s a post</a> with roughly 700 likes:
<blockquote>Rodney Hinton had no criminal record before he killed an Ohio  cop in retaliation for the cops killing his son . The police department brought 30 cops to his hearing to intimidate him.</blockquote>
So apparently, you get to kill a cop if you have no prior criminal record. And the police aren&#8217;t allowed to guard you, either, even after you&#8217;ve just murdered someone.
Then there&#8217;s <a href="https://x.com/Duatronica/status/1919205862096142651">this post</a>, with more than a thousand likes:
<blockquote>All I’m saying is this. If a cop killed my son…I’m airing out the precinct. Rodney Hinton Jr. is a saint and a hero.</blockquote>
Yesterday we discussed the story of Shiloh Hendrix, the woman who has now raised hundreds of thousands of dollars after using a racial slur at a playground. What&#8217;s happening now with Rodney Hinton is yet another example of why Shiloh Hendrix has raised all of that money. If you&#8217;re saying that &#8220;justice&#8221; is somehow served by the execution of a random white police officer, in the name of defending a thug who stole a car and flashed a gun — and many people are saying this — then you don&#8217;t get to clutch your pearls because of Shiloh Hendrix. The standards are so wildly out of whack that it’s just not sustainable. “It’s okay if we kill people but not okay if you use naughty language” is not just a double standard. It’s flat out madness — a kind of moral schizophrenia.
It&#8217;s an unsustainable approach. And with every day, it becomes more and more apparent that we simply can&#8217;t continue on this trajectory. People are tired of it.  If large numbers of black people are openly defending and cheering for actual murderers who kill white people in cold blood, then you cannot tell white people that they have to make a big show of condemning a woman who says a bad word. That&#8217;s especially true as more and more white people are executed, without any media attention whatsoever.
For example, you probably haven&#8217;t heard the story of a 22-year-old woman named Logan Federico in South Carolina. Here she is, on the left:
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-916767 aligncenter" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GqPLmluXQAAyIf6.jpeg" alt="" width="680" height="383" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GqPLmluXQAAyIf6.jpeg 680w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/GqPLmluXQAAyIf6-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></div>
According to the authorities, Logan Federico was, &#8220;randomly murdered by a career criminal&#8221; who was &#8220;on a spree of thefts, break-ins and credit card fraud.&#8221; That career criminal, 30-year-old Alexander Dickey, allegedly &#8220;broke into a neighboring home around 3:00 a.m. and stole a firearm, credit and debit cards, and keys to a vehicle. &#8230; [He] then allegedly entered the house where Federico was staying, entered her room, and shot her, before fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle.&#8221;
Somehow that story didn&#8217;t get much national attention.
Neither did this one, involving the execution of Tara and Taylor Jones in front of their home in the affluent neighborhood of Wellington Florida last year:
<div id="attachment_916775" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-916775" class="size-large wp-image-916775" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-1024x576.jpg" alt="Screenshots: YouTube.com" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-2048x1152.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Screenshots: YouTube.com</div>
Surveillance footage shows that Tara and Taylor Jones were shot to death by a 63-year-old mechanic named Norman Scott, without any provocation of any kind. Again, there was no outrage. There was no public show of support for these victims.
Instead, we&#8217;re now at the point where three cold-blooded killers in the span of a few months have found large cheering sections on social media, including Rodney Hinton, Karmelo Anthony and Luigi Mangione. In fact, one of these viral TikTok videos supporting Rodney Hinton — with more than 20,000 likes — actually brings up Luigi Mangione in this context. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="008 Silent Rage" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WwxPrsKjFw8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
There&#8217;s one useful aspect of this TikTok video, which is that it makes the point that this situation isn’t all about race. Luigi Mangione was obviously white, and plenty of people justified his actions too. In fact, as you probably recall, some people who call themselves &#8220;conservatives&#8221; also justified Luigi Mangione&#8217;s actions. And that tells us that we&#8217;re witnessing a general breakdown of law and order, on top of the racial violence. Decades of justifying and excusing criminality have led us to a point where people who commit blatant first-degree murder are celebrated, at least if they&#8217;re viewed as allies of the political Left. Again: we&#8217;ve now had three of these cases in five months.
As you continue to hear the high-pitched outrage over Shiloh Hendrix, keep in mind that nothing she did, in any universe, could ever end your life or the life of anyone you care about. The people cheering the execution of an innocent police officer or a CEO or a white high school student at a track meet, on the other hand, are actually dangerous. They&#8217;re the ones you should be hearing about, nonstop. They&#8217;re the actual threat to you and your family. They&#8217;re the ones who are trying to bring about a complete breakdown in law and order. They’re the ones who want racial conflict. And as the execution of this police officer in Cincinnati once again demonstrates, even if they can&#8217;t destroy someone like Shiloh Hendrix, they will still do everything in their power to destroy you.
