## Statement

McFadden was hired by the ATF on July 15, 2002. He resigned from ATF on Sept. 25, 2009.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals stated in the first line of an opinion (vacating a conviction):

> "Brandon McFadden was a disgrace to law enforcement. He joined other corrupt officers in fabricating evidence, stealing drugs and money from suspects, and selling drugs."

Prosecutors alleged that on May 8, 2007, [Jeff Henderson](https://giglio-bradylist.com/individual/jeff-%20henderson), an undercover officer with the [Tulsa Police Department](https://giglio-bradylist.com/oklahoma/tulsa-police-department)'s Special Investigations Division, and Brandon McFadden, at the time a U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent, coached a drug informant and fabricated a drug buy.

***We will not stand by as our brothers and sisters are brutalized, criminalized, and silenced.***

We reject a world where the powerful profit from our poverty and our lives are treated as expendable. We will not wait for justice to be handed down from above.   
We will organize, resist, and take it for ourselves.
