DOJ likes the "Angel of Death" psychologist and hired him to teach

federal marshals to shoot first and ask after.

The DOJ knows that this guy is discredited and his classes are based on false hoods yet they hired him anyway.

He alsol testifies as a paid expert at officer involved shootings.

From the site:

His beliefs have been widely criticized, with the American Journal of Psychology calling his work (which is not peer-reviewed) “pseudoscience” and even the Department of Justice has stated that his work lacks in “foundation and reliability.”

In both 2011 and 2012 the Federal Department Of Justice (DOJ) asked Lisa Fournier, an editor at the American Journal of Psychology to review his work.

Her findings stated that Lewinski lacks basic elements of legitimate research and came to conclusions unsupported by the data.

She summarized the work of Lewinski and his “Institute” as invalid and unreliable.

Despite the DOJ knowing the guy is a crock, they still shockingly hired him months later anyways, paying him $55,000 to help defend a federal drug agent who killed an unarmed teenager in California.

Then DOJ endorsed sending him to Seattle to train officers there as part of an excessive force settlement.

He was later paid $15,000 to train the US Marshals too.
