Homeland Security Agent Omit Shooting Of Unarmed Black Man
The police lie. Surprise, surprise.
As you are well aware by this point, Donald Trump has ordered federal law enforcement agencies and the National Guard to act as local police in Black-led cities across America to “get tough on crime”. Predictably, this tyrannical effort has resulted in harassment and physical harm to Black and brown bodies. New reporting by ABCNews highlights these abuses and the willingness of law enforcement to cover them up.
On October 17, 2025, 33-year-old Phillip M. Brown of Hyattsville, Maryland, was pulled over for an unknown reason during a traffic stop by a Homeland Security Investigations agent and several local law enforcement officers. Let the officers tell it, Brown moved his SUV as if he were going to run over the HSI agent, so the agent fired “defensive shots” at the windshield of the car. Fortunately, Brown was not injured, but he was subsequently arrested and held in a cell for three days on charges of fleeing officers. As soon as he saw the judge, the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence.
Here is where this story gets extremely shady.
Brown's attorneys say there was absolutely no mention of the shooting in the police report filed on the arrest despite the fact that there are photos and videos from the scene showing his bullet-riddled car as seen in the news clip below
A DHS spokesperson tried to piss on our heads and convince us it's raining by trying to justify the shooting:
“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of vehicles being used as weapons against DHS law enforcement,” the DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “Our officers are facing a 1000% increase in attacks against them, including car rammings, terrorist attacks, and even bounties for their murders. The violence must end.”
The only problem with that is, if this officer was so scared for his life that it was necessary to discharge his weapon, why wouldn't he mention that in the police report? Why leave it out? It makes no sense and one of Brown's lawyers, Bernadette Armand, described the nonsensical claim as “disgraceful”.
“Of course they're going to say it was justified. What are they going to say? 'We shot an unarmed Black man in his car in a routine traffic stop for nothing?' They won't say that. They will say what they have to say to justify their actions,” Armand said.
The DC Metropolitan Police Department says they are investigating the shooting but would not comment further.
We will have more information as it becomes available.
