A video<\/a> that surfaced this week shows Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, the fugitive killed by Dallas SWAT last month, directing two other bodyguards as they assaulted two brothers trying to serve a lawsuit on U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett at her public swearing-in ceremony.<\/p>\n

The January 2025 incident at Fair Park\u2019s Hall of State unfolded<\/a> as Dallas police officers stood by and alledgely refused to intervene, according to the brothers, JJ Jefferson and Lamar Jefferson, reported CBS News.<\/p>\n

Robinson, 39, who used the alias Mike King and oversaw Crockett\u2019s security detail, had earlier told authorities he was in charge of hundreds of agents, though Capitol Police later confirmed Crockett had no official security detail.<\/p>\n

JJ Jefferson, a longtime political rival of Crockett, said he and his brother attended the event to legally serve her with papers challenging whether JJ Jefferson had been improperly removed from the 2024 ballot. They alerted Robinson to their purpose before the confrontation.<\/p>\n

In the video, Robinson and the two unidentified guards physically removed the brothers from the building, choking them and placing them in handcuffs in front of officers, the Jeffersons said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be assaulted while trying to exercise a lawful service,\u201d JJ Jefferson said, CBS News reported. \u201cAnd that\u2019s called obstruction. And when I asked the officers to intervene, we were ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n

He recalled Robinson\u2019s warning during the scuffle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I know is the self-proclaimed agent who told me that, he said, \u2018I\u2019m about to slam you on his ground,\u2019\u201d JJ Jefferson said. \u201cI said, \u2018Do not slam me on this ground. Just let me up. I\u2019ll walk out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Lamar Jefferson described the exchange with Robinson.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike King was right there in front of me, who I know now as Mike King,\u201d he said, per CBS. \u201cAnd I asked him, \u2018So we can\u2019t serve her these papers?\u2019 He said, \u2018No, you are getting the hell out of here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The brothers said a sergeant and two other officers told them they lacked the authority to step in.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018We don\u2019t have the jurisdiction to intervene, we\u2019re just here to assist them,\u2019\u201d JJ Jefferson recalled being told. \u201cThat\u2019s what I was told by the sergeant and two other officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

JJ Jefferson filed a complaint seeking assault charges. The Dallas Police Department\u2019s chief at the time responded that \u201cno investigation was warranted,\u201d according to Jefferson. An officer directed him to take the matter up with \u201cMike King at U.S. Dignitary Services.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Jefferson followed up, he discovered the address belonged to Crockett\u2019s congressional office in Washington, not a law enforcement agency. The person who answered the phone said no such service operated there, and Capitol Police confirmed Crockett had no security detail.<\/p>\n

Robinson later called Jefferson and denied attending the ceremony despite photos showing otherwise, and refused to identify the other agents involved, Jefferson said.<\/p>\n

The case went uninvestigated for more than a year while Robinson continued working alongside Crockett through her U.S. Senate campaign, which ended last month.<\/p>\n

In March, authorities identified<\/a> Robinson as a fugitive impersonating a federal agent. After a high-speed chase, he was cornered in a parking garage, pulled a gun, and was shot and killed during the standoff with Dallas SWAT, The Dallas Express reported.<\/p>\n

JJ Jefferson said he wonders whether the outcome might have differed if police had investigated the assault promptly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI read law all the time,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have to identify yourself if you are a police officer. A state officer, a marshal, federal agents, even a Secret Service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dallas police declined to comment on the 2025 incident or the officers\u2019 actions, referring questions to Capitol Police, which has not responded. The Jeffersons said a DPD detective contacted them about the case as recently as two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The brothers are calling for a Department of Justice investigation into the other members of Crockett\u2019s security team, saying they believe the entire detail may have been illegitimate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could all be frauds,\u201d JJ Jefferson said. \u201cI mean, it is my position that anybody who worked for, was under the direction of Mike King was illegitimate security, and they had no police authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI\u2019ll just be honest, they didn\u2019t give a g**damn that I was a United States citizen. I was a person, I was trained, and they treated me like trash. They picked me up and told me I was so angry. And I\u2019m still angry now. But this can be pretty embarrassing. The Dallas Police Department is being hired out by a fugitive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A video that surfaced this week shows Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, the fugitive killed by Dallas SWAT last month, directing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[81377,102,104,103,401,93074,93075,84944,3481,93076,93073,80981,2455,69416],"class_list":{"0":"post-243533","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-capitol-police","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-dallas-headlines","11":"tag-dallas-news","12":"tag-dallas-police","13":"tag-dallas-swat","14":"tag-diamon-robinson","15":"tag-diamon-mazairre-robinson","16":"tag-jasmine-crockett","17":"tag-jj-jefferson","18":"tag-lamar-jefferson","19":"tag-mike-king","20":"tag-police-officer","21":"tag-security-detail"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
