Pretty consistent with what we know of Park Police in and around DC. The shooting of Bijan Ghaisar, in this case, went unpunished by the feds: https://www.wash

Though props to Fairfax for seeking indictments and for releasing the footage in the face of Park Police silence.

- kyleee 6y agoWhy did Bijan keep driving away from the officers? The officers definitely should have to wear body cams Very weird case
- eganist 6y agoMy understanding is that Bijan was a flighty and somewhat anxious person (we shared mutual friends). I don't think that justifies unloading a magazine into him while he's in his car. Which is why Fairfax appears to be pushing for indictments. Regardless of whether Bijan was guilty of anything, we'll never know because he was robbed of both his right to due process as well as his life.
