Politico Playbook today was written to fear DC residents into believing federal law enforcement randomly arrested an innocent “moped driver.”

If Politico had reached out to the White House for comment before publishing, we could have provided them with the facts:

The “moped driver” was an Illegal Alien Criminal from Venezuela with suspected gang affiliation and an active final order of removal from the country. Upon his arrest, the Illegal Alien Criminal resisted arrest and a law enforcement officer suffered a concussion as a result.

Florida: A Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy shot and killed a man who had injured himself in a Cooper City parking lot after the man went on the attack, authorities said.

Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue units responded to a call reporting a man had shot himself in the parking lot of a McDonald’s near the 10200 block of Griffin Road, off North Palm Avenue, early Saturday afternoon.

After locating the man, a deputy approached the man in an attempt to help him, investigators said.

The man then attacked the deputy, detectives said, forcing the deputy to discharge his weapon, striking the man.

7News cameras captured the injured deputy on a stretcher as paramedics took him to an ambulance.
“Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue and Davie Fire Rescue transported a deputy and the man’s mother to a local hospital for treatment. Neither of them received gunfire injuries,” said Caro.

Tennessee: An off-duty Metro Nashville police officer was injured in a fight with bar security guards on Saturday night, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

MNPD reports that a group of four off-duty officers tried to get into Losers bar on Division Street after leaving another adjacent bar at around 9:10 p.m. on Saturday.

However, security turned them away. The group then reportedly crossed the street, and words were exchanged between one off-duty officer and a Losers security guard.

MNPD said the security guard then crossed the street, and the altercation became physical in front of Velvet Taco.

While the off-duty officers and security guards fought, one officer was hit in the head and fell to the ground unconscious.

The off-duty officer was taken to a Nashville hospital by ambulance, and he was discharged this afternoon.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery.🙏🏻
