Merrick Garland's decision to authorize deadly force during the Mar-a-Lago raid proves that he is drunk on power. He is on a revenge tour against everyone he thinks wronged him and kept him off the Supreme Court.

.@tedcruz Senator Podcaster is lying to you, again! "Merrick Garland's decision to authorize deadly force during the Mar-a-Lago raid proves that he is drunk on power." This claim is misleading and factually incorrect. Attorney General Merrick Garland did not authorize the use of deadly force specifically for the Mar-a-Lago raid. The Justice Department's standard policy on the use of force, which applies to all FBI searches, allows deadly force only when an officer reasonably believes there is an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. Garland clarified that this policy is routine and was applied even during the consensual search of President Biden's residence. "He is on a revenge tour against everyone he thinks wronged him and kept him off the Supreme Court." This claim is an lie and baseless. There is no evidence that Merrick Garland is using his position for revenge against those who opposed his Supreme Court nomination. Garland's actions, including the Mar-a-Lago search, have adhered to legal and procedural norms. The search was approved by a federal magistrate judge based on probable cause, and Garland has emphasized the Justice Department's commitment to the rule of law, applied impartially.

@CommunityNotes - deadly force is authorized in any raid where an officer’s life is in danger.

@CommunityNotes this is false. This is standard wording on FBI search warrants.

You are spreading misinformation, willfully Ralph, the short version is you are lying as usual.

ted stop treating your readers like they just fell off the truck ...that is standard law enforcement procedure ....if a security guard would have shot an fbi agent and they couldnt fire back you would have never let that go

You are a lawyer, an Officer of the Court, for you to spread lies for personal gain is unforgivable! You should be disbarred! You know the execution of the search warrant was negotiated, you know they were aware that Trump and his family would not be present during the execution and you absolutely know the verbiage used in that search warrant is basic information used in ALL search warrants! This post right here is why you will lose your reelection! You cannot be trusted at all!

You have been told several times deadly force is standard for FBI Raids. You just love gaslighting issues to your benefit.
