IT’S COME TO THIS: Wanted fugitive killed by Dallas SWAT officers worked security for Rep. Jasmine Crockett, sources say.

A man shot and killed by Dallas police earlier this week was a familiar figure in North Texas law enforcement – and part of the security detail for U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, sources told CBS News Texas.

Multiple law enforcement sources tell CBS News Texas the man, known publicly as Mike King, had been using aliases while running a business that placed officers in off‑duty jobs.

King was killed Wednesday night after a standoff with Dallas police SWAT officers. Police say he fled into a hospital parking garage, barricaded himself inside a vehicle, and was forced out by tear gas before pulling a gun on officers.

Sources say he was wanted for impersonating a law enforcement officer and had claimed to be one while operating Off Duty Police Services, an online platform connecting North Texas officers with off‑duty work. Authorities have not released his real name.

Wait, Crockett has security protection? She doesn’t want you to have any:

IT’S LIKE THEY NEVER CARED:

I am getting an almost uniform sense from my sources in the black community that there are fears that immigrants are taking over the Democratic Party, and not even offering power sharing. Mandani’s commie cabinet is remarkably devoid of black men.

FIRE NATASHA BERTRAND:

This is really nasty from the single worst Pentagon/NatSec reporter I’ve ever seen. Not even close to what he actually said.

According to CBS News, the individual in question was ‘known publicly as Mike King,’ although he’d been using various aliases to gain employment.”

DON’T STOP. MAKE IT A WORSE IDEA.

I guess it was a really bad idea for Hamas to murder and rape a bunch of innocent women. Lesson learned, hopefully.

UPDATE:

In case you were wondering why CNN and Reuters are trying so hard to make it look like the United States is losing this war, look no further than this. There is a consistent trend showing Republicans gaining ground, and the media is growing desperate. https://t.co/uA9goPfGKO

ANOTHER UPDATE:

The Democrat/Media Complex is actively rooting for America's military to fail in Iran.
