  • In May, 2020 Ward and another KCK officer responded to an apartment complex where they discovered a stolen F-150 Ford Raptor truck, according to a federal lawsuit.

    According to the lawsuit, the officers saw an “African American male entered the Raptor and left the driver’s side door open.”

    The lawsuit says both officers ran toward the truck, where Ward’s partner tasered the man, Joshua Brunson. The truck lurched forward. Ward and his partner backed away from the Raptor, “while drawing their firearms and firing indiscriminately,” the lawsuit says. “Ward emptied the clip of his firearm and reloaded.”

    Brunson was hit four times and almost died from blood loss, according to the lawsuit.

    Brunson, it turns out, was “hired to clean and detail the Raptor,” the lawsuit said.













  • I can speak from direct experience here.

    You do not argue law with police in the United States. Period. Any example of it working out is overshadowed by hundreds of deaths. Even giving off the impression you’re some kind of sovereign citizen is a good way to get killed.

    You quite literally — and this is triple true if you’re a POC — must submit to them and pay a lawyer to interact with the Corrections Department and the courts. Doing anything other than this, e.g., resisting arrest, arguing law, is a surefire way to get hurt or killed.

    The police in the United States are not there to help, you should never talk to them. This includes arguing law.
