The Executive Director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, was shot dead by government agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) during a Tuesday raid on his home.
The federal government accused the airport official, Bryan Malinowski, of breaking federal firearm laws by selling guns without a license.

His family members have pointed out the ATF agents busted in Malinowski’s door and shot him when they could have used any number of preferable methods.
Reports claim the Clinton Airport executive fired shots at the armed federal agents as they broke into his home at 6:00 a.m., which could have been out of fear of a break-in.
Bryan Malinowski’s older brother Matthew said, “The ATF burst into his house, and they did it in a manner that was the most dangerous combination possible. Why? The easiest way to have taken care of this situation – the most common way – would be to wait until he gets in his car, pull over and arrest him. Or you wait until he comes to work and you arrest him there.”
“I mean if these guys from the ATF knew their job – you do a flash bang, you throw a smoke grenade, you throw in tear gas, something to disable the person to get their attention to come on out. Flush them out. There’s no reason to go in guns blazing like you’re playing a video game,” he added.
The family’s attorney expressed concern about the government’s accusations in the search warrant used to justify the raid.
The attorney stated, “Even if the allegations in the affidavit are true, they don’t begin to justify what happened. At worst, Bryan Malinowski, a gun owner and gun enthusiast, stood accused of making private firearm sales to a person who may not have been legally entitled to purchase the guns. For now, we will wait for all the facts to come out. In the meantime, we ask that the public and the media respect our privacy.”
“Very strange. We need to look in to this,” commented Infowars founder and host Alex Jones.
