We all watched the horrible killing of New Mexico State Police Officer Darian Jarrott as he was gunned down by a violent felon and career criminal. The incident occurred on Feb, 4th. As I look at all the info coming out now it seems that the Officer was on a most dangerous stop of a really bad guy.
The NMSP say they had a BOLO out for the truck that was stopped and that a number of officers were stationed along the deadly highway. What ther hell happened?
The bad guy was on his way to consummate a drug sale. The locale was loaded with HSI and other LE personnel. You know, ready to take this guy down with enough resources to insure everyone’s safety. That is if any drug deal could be considered safe.
Here’s another strange detail…several HSI agents were following the NMSP car and arrived shortly after the officer was shot. Couldn’t they have assisted? Be interesting to see what comes out of this investigation.
Sounds like a classic case of not enough information and failure to communicate. The State Police and HSI are all pointing fingers and making lame explanations as to why the officer didn’t know what he was getting into. I’m sure that’s a great relief to his expectant wife and three kids. God help us.
Peace
