DHS Agent Ray Lamb tried to shoot Kevin Byrd outside a bar one night. He pulled the trigger--but ...

Lamb’s son hit Byrd’s wife in a suspected DUI. Lamb arrived on the scene and, realizing his son may be arrested, attempted to execute Byrd with a head shot.

Lamb was not on duty and was recorded attempting a murder. A federal court ruled QI covered him.

DHS Agent Ray Lamb tried to shoot Kevin Byrd outside a bar one night. He pulled the trigger—but the gun jammed.

Even though Lamb was not acting in his professional capacity, the courts said Byrd can't sue him—simply because he has a federal badge. /3 https://reason.com/2021/09/22/supreme-court-absolute-immunity-police-dhs-agent-ray-lamb-kevin-byrd/

Whatever happened to "Thou shalt not kill"?

Even if he failed he should be charged with Attempted murder, obstruction, witness tampering, discharge of a firearm within city limits, and probably a whole host of other offenses.

That he hasn't yet been fired or had his badge permanently taken away is exceedingly problematic also.
