"What is especially upsetting is that these six people received advanced notice of the Buffalo shooting, about 30 minutes before it happened. "The FBI has verified that none of these people called law enforcement to warn them about the shooting. The FBI database shows no advance tips from anyone that this shooting was about to happen." Agents from the FBI are in the process of tracking down and interviewing the six people, including the retired agent, and attempting to determine if any of them should be charged as accomplices, the two sources with close knowledge of the probe told The Buffalo News. 4plebs archive on Buffalo shooter and "Sandman" https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/379701704 5-4 podcast on Castle Rock v. Gonzalez. 01:47 Peter: Today's case is Castle Rock v. Gonzales, a case that features two of my least favorite things in the world, procedural technicalities and the brutal murder of innocent children. [laughter] 02:01 Michael: In no particular order are those two things, yeah. 02:06 Peter: This case is, I think maybe the most tragic and poignant in a long line of cases in the Supreme Court and in other courts that have allowed police officers and police departments to escape any legal responsibility, even in cases where their actions are grossly negligent and lead directly to the loss of human life. 02:25 Michael: Right. 02:25 Peter: The issue here, simplifying a little bit, is whether the police are liable under the 14th Amendment's, Due Process Clause, when they don't even attempt to enforce a restraining order involving a rather insane husband, shall we say? 02:40 Michael: Right. 02:42 Peter: We'll get into the semantics, but the real question is this, I think, "Do the police owe the public, anything at all?" [chuckle] And the Court thinks probably not. Ben Collins tweet about toothaches and Peyton Gendron.
