What ATF Did Wrong During
Fatal Raid of Bryan Malinowski


ATF Agent Tyler Cowart shot Bryan Malinowski in the head during a
botched raid on March 19, 2024. Malinowski, who was 53-year-old, died two days later.

In a perfect world, Bryan Malinowski would be alive today and substantially richer after suing the ATF for violating his Second, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights.

Unfortunately, the ATF has yet to be held accountable for shooting and killing Malinowski in his home just 16 months ago.

The ATF doesn't want to talk about the killing.

Calls to ATF's Little Rock Field Office, which conducted the raid, were not returned. The lone ATF agent who answered the phone said he wasn't even sure who was the office's Resident Agent in Charge, known as a RAC.

"I've only been here a year. I'm not sure," the agent said.

He did not give his name, but his admission makes perfect sense.
