Dallas SWAT Kills Jasmine Crockett's Security Impersonator

Mike King, who provided security for U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett during her Senate campaign, was fatally shot by Dallas SWAT officers after a standoff. Authorities allege King had been impersonating a police officer for years and operating a fraudulent security business called Off Duty Police Services. He was tracked to a hospital parking garage, where he barricaded himself in a vehicle. After tear gas was deployed, King exited and pointed a firearm at officers, who then shot and killed him. The incident raises significant questions about the vetting processes for security personnel hired by elected officials, particularly those who arrange their own security outside of federal protection. The United States===Dallas Police Department is conducting an ongoing investigation into King's activities and the scope of his alleged impersonation.
