“State Rep. Jeff Barker has introduced a bill that would temporarily delay the release of the name of the officer who shot [LaVoy] Finicum,” KOIN 6 News reported Sunday. “House Bill 4087 already unanimously passed the Oregon House Judiciary Committee.”
The bill, which will allow law enforcement to petition a judge for a 90-day stay on releasing the name of an officer, was introduced after the Oregon State Police said it had “received death threats from all over the U.S.” Barker, a Democrat, said he took the action after being convinced by OSP Superintendent Rich Evans that ‘there is a real safety concern.”
Perhaps. But if that’s the case, it’s fair to ask if there are alternatives in terms of investigation and protective custody options that would make it unnecessary to suppress information that’s in the public interest to know. Plus, how do we know the “threats” are even real and not coming from provocateurs or other interested parties?
this is all cow poop and just another way for a sleazy political hack whore to clamp down even tighter on people and there right to know what happened and who was involved in the murdering of Lavoy. IF one of my family members were shot dead by this same type of scum that walks the earth for the new world order I would personally be ticked off and ready to go. the smart people would just keep there mouths shut and take the murderers out silently on your terms and by stealth. any political Leader who covers crimes such as this by submitting protection bills to protect the murderers is just as guilty as the one who pulled the trigger, that person needs to be removed in time also. These people have gone to far and there day of reckoning will come and when it does they will regret all they have done.
