Libertarian Institute boss Scott Horton had me back on his radio show this morning to discuss the latest on the Duncan Lemp case. Lemp was fatally wounded when a Montgomery County SWAT team fired through his bedroom window without warning at 4:30 a.m. on March 12. The fatal assault was propelled after the Montgomery County Police received an anonymous tip that Lemp possessed firearms. Unfortunately, the county has revealed almost nothing about how or why the SWAT team turned a search warrant into a death warrant.
Scott and I also discuss the protest at Montgomery Co. Police headquarters on Saturday. One of the organizers encouraged attendees to bring rifles even after learning that guns are prohibited by law at demonstrations in Maryland. Roughly 10% of the attendees were arrested for firearms violations.
It’s great that people across the nation are refusing to forget Duncan Lemp and demanding justice on his killing.
