The New York Times reports that a federal fugitive task force has killed Michael Reinoehl, who fatally shot Patriot Prayer activist Aaron Danielson last week, after Danielson attempted to mace him. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/03/us/michael-reinoehl-arrest-portland-shooting.html?referringSource=articleShare">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/0...
Earlier today, @VICENews published an interview with Reinoehl, who spoke about shooting Danielson.
“I had no choice. I mean, I, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn& #39;t going to do that.” https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/v7g8vb/man-linked-to-killing-at-a-portland-protest-says-he-acted-in-self-defense">https://www.vice.com/en_us/art...

Nine minutes before the Times story posted, President Trump called for Reinoehl& #39;s arrest in a tweet. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1301726907298385921">https://twitter.com/realDonal...
Given that Trump& #39;s been tweeting about Danielson for a week, and is making it part of his campaign strategy, it would be strange if he weren& #39;t receiving regular updates on Reinoehl& #39;s case as part of his intel briefings, but perhaps the White House is just that much of a shitshow.
I& #39;d be remiss here if I didn& #39;t mention that law enforcement somehow managed to take in Kyle Rittenhouse, the far-right shooter who shot three people, killing two of them, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, completely unharmed. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/28/us/kyle-rittenhouse-kenosha-shooting/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/2...
But in the case of Reinoehl, a witness is reporting "30-40 shots" were fired when federal agents killed him.

The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office says that it’s not clear if Reinoehl even fired his gun.
Given the wave of threats against Reinoehl and his family, it’s strange that police would roll up without announcing his warrant, and then be surprised that he was armed. https://twitter.com/arunindy/status/1301781369597521920">https://twitter.com/arunindy/...

The US Marshals service makes no mention of Reinoehl firing his weapon, which he was legally allowed to have.
