Local Cop Confronted Trump Gunman Before Shooting—But Backed Away: Report
The revelation raises more questions about Secret Service and law enforcement actions before Thomas Crooks opened fire.
You're viewing a single thread.
Why did the FBI have this kids DNA on file?
The FBI identified Crooks by analyzing his DNA, officials told local CBS affiliate KDKA, as he did not have any identification on him.
This is the part that makes me go wtf...
How did they go from sampling his DNA and identifying him in that short amount? I don't remember the exact time, but it seemed like it took about 5 hours.
Edit: It's been a long day and I guess my timeline is way off. I thought they identified the suspect last night, but apparently it was sometime early this morning. That makes the turn around time a lot less wtf.
If any of his relatives did a 23andme or ancestry, that'd possibly be enough lol.
Cops also love tricking parents into giving them their children's DNA and fingerprint samples.
I remember registering my fingerprints as a kid as part of a Cub or Boy Scout activity. In retrospect that was really messed up.
Maybe not. When I did it for my kids, it was to create a sample that could be used in an emergency, to be held by the parents. It was never given to anyone. No one collected it. It not get added to some database somewhere
if you're even just accused (and imprisoned) of a felony you get DNA swabbed, guilty or not
Trying to assassinate the presidential candidate definitely justifies checking the "expedite" box.
Not the president.
He still technically holds the title of president. You never lose the title, just the powers. Carter's still President Carter. JFK is still President Kennedy. Trump is, extremely unfortunately, still President Trump. None of them get powers, but the title is forever.
Which, fair imo. It's a position only 45 or 46 people out of millions of Americans have ever achieved (idk how they count the one dude who skipped a term). Keeping that title for life sounds fair to me.
Which is normally fair. However after his never ending pushing of the election being stolen and claiming he was president still, I think it is necessary to clarify he is no-longer president.
Fair enough
Cases like this get special treatment.
I thought they identified him through the firearm
