(16,281 posts)This is such a cliffhanger! Anyone know where I can read the rest of it? I want to know what he did after he stabbed the officer.

on edit: from the previous Army Times post: Police body cameras caught McKellop pushing officers, trying to grab a riot control spray canister from one and throwing a flagpole like a spear at another, causing a laceration to that officers face, the complaint alleged.
Screenshots included in the document showed McKellop wearing the same helmet and ballistic vest that he used in an overseas combat zone in 2018, according to one of two witnesses who came forward to identify him to FBI agents.
