Tip of ugly iceberg? Cleveland cop killed self hours after fellow cop died - FBI Operation Legend

Last edited Mon Sep 28, 2020, 12:42 PM - Edit history (1)

So there were two Cleveland cops who died earlier this month, both of them “family men with kids”.

One of them was Officer James Skernivitz. Bill Barr visited the Cleveland police unit where Skernivitz worked in mid-August.

Two weeks later, on September 2nd, Officer Skernivitz, age 53, was sworn in as FBI, as part of Bill Barr’s “Operation Legend”.

The next day, on September 3rd, Skernivitz, a 22-year veteran of the Cleveland police force, was shot and killed sitting in his car with someone who was reportedly a 50-year old informant, who was also shot and killed. Eventually they named that informant as Scott Dingess.

Mr. Skernivitz:





Hours later, 38-year old Officer Nicholas Sabo of the Cleveland police force reportedly committed suicide.

Mr. Sabo:



Three teenagers, ages 15, 17, and 18 were arrested on unrelated charges and are being called suspects in the murder of Mr. Skernivitz and Mr. Dingess. (I will assume that there’s no video.)

ONE DAY after being sworn in to Bill Barr’s Operation Legend, Mr. Skernivitz is dead. Why? A coincidence? Maybe. But this does not happen everyday in Cleveland. The last officer killed in the line of duty in Cleveland was in 2008.

What is the true purpose of Operation Legend?
