As TFTP reported last year, Pennsylvania State Troopers garnered national attention following a deadly officer-involved incident whereby a man was killed by a bulldozer commandeered by one of their officers. Gregory Longenecker, 51, was run over by the bulldozer and killed as the PA State Trooper and the dozer operated by the PA Game Commission were supposedly attempting to flush him out. Now, after police refused to hold their own accountable, Longnecker’s family is seeking justice in the form of a lawsuit.
“They must be held accountable for what they did. That’s the bottom line. They cannot get away with this,” said Michael Carpenter, an uncle of 51-year-old Gregory Longenecker. “He was very kind to everyone. Very kind, very passionate. Wouldn’t harm anyone.”
Longnecker and David Light were suspects in a then-discovered cannabis grow operation on state-owned land. Game Commission employees found a few pot plants the middle-aged men grew for personal use and immediately notified local police who contacted PA State Police who sent out narcotics officers to investigate. Finding a vehicle nearby, troopers discovered the two individuals. Light turned himself in to police but Longnecker ran into the thick underbrush nearby which was observed by the PA State Police helicopter.
That’s when the PA State Trooper apparently got the bright idea to bulldoze the thick underbrush. The dozer then began to “blaze a trail” through the underbrush, according to PA State Police Information Officer David Beohm.
“There’s no way that you could walk through that stuff up there,” Beohm said, implying also troopers must have known Longenecker was lying in the brush. Beohm said in a press conference at the time:

So as they’re blazing this trail through the brush the trooper tells the operator to ‘stop’. They look behind the bulldozer and then they saw the male that they were looking for was laying on the ground behind the bulldozer as they had already gone over that area. But I’m telling you that is so thick up there. There is no way you could see somebody laying in there.

Officers who were sworn to protect and serve the community and treat every suspect as innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, decided to go on a rampage over a plant instead of simply following up with the man later. But once again, as TFTP has reported, it appears the Pennsylvania State Police conducted itself as judge, jury and executioner..........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/taxpayers-held-liable-after-cops-bulldoze-unarmed-man-to-death-for-growing-marijuana/243626
