The widow of Bryan Malinowski, the airport director shot during an ATF raid, is suing the agency for recklessness. The ATF conducted the raid based on accusations of illegal firearm sales. The lawsuit alleges infringement of constitutional rights, stating that agents failed to announce themselves, leading to a tragic outcome. Malinowski was portrayed as unaware of any investigation and construed the agents as intruders. His death raised concerns among local Republicans over ATF practices and accountability. The suit seeks unspecified damages and calls for a jury trial.
"The Constitution requires reasonableness and, specifically here, that defendants both knock and announce their presence and purpose and wait a reasonable time before entry."
