FBI agents under investigation for possible misconduct in LaVoy Finicum shooting
I really want to support the police whenever I can but for whatever reason there are elements within certain departments that make it really difficult to do sometimes. The FBI has traditionally been known for their cool heads and honesty regardless of which party is in power.
I agree with the Freeper who said our law enforcement agencies need to be under congress and not the executive branch. It's just too easy for a corrupt President, like we have right now, to use them wrongly because they will obey the chain of command even if the orders are wrong and probably illegal. Definitely illegal if the goal is to gun down a citizen who has not fired a shot at them or even had a gun in his hand or who was not attempting to attack them. Pretty hard for a team of police officers to make a case of self defense in that scenario; especially when it's all on tape and has been released to the media for distribution like the Finicum shooting was.
“The FBI has traditionally been known for their cool heads and honesty...”
They’ve got a good PR department, that’s all. You know Comey don’t play that.
“I agree with the Freeper who said our law enforcement agencies need to be under congress and not the executive branch.”
How about we just get rid of federal law enforcement agencies altogether? We didn’t have the FBI until the 1930s. We did fine without them before then. We can do so now.
