FBI Shoots Eagle Scout by Mistake

Posted on 03/03/2002 7:06:53 AM PST by Severnside

The Baltimore Sun this morning is running a story about the FBI shooting an Eagle Scout in the face. The Scout was coming back from the mall with his girlfriend when the agents opened up with machine guns through the passenger side window. Apparently they agents mistook them for bank robbers. The girl is an honor student at the high school down the road from me and they had just come from the mall where my kids shop.

This needs to be posted again.

These fellas have it soft, and we see few, if any of them, called to account for the deterioration and misdeeds of an agency that I think we were all taught to respect for its integrity and service to law and order.

Today, given current ongoing crisis, and when the services of the FBI are most needed, is probably the worst of times to call for an examination and overhaul from top to bottom. Nevertheless, let's hope this tragedy serves as an opening for George Bush to begin some long overdue changes in the Bureau.

I don't think blocking the mess in Boston with a "national security" claim was a very good start. The EO on Presidential papers doesn't help alot either.

"shot in the face"

Fatality or serious injury? How is his girlfriend?

Anybody else remember Bush the Elder's BS attitude about jack-booted thugs. The guilty never can see their own mistakes. America will never be safe without Term Limits. And America cannot survive the Democratic Party, Republicans are bad enough.
