An FBI spokeswoman says two special agents have been shot in St. Louis County and that the incident isn't directly related to the Ferguson protests.

My point is only that some use singular incidents of bad/dirty cops (of which there are plenty, I know!) to demonize policing as a whole.
They were helping execute a search warrant.
I assume most people share my sentiments and that would be a distaste for -corrupt- authorities. I sure as hell don’t condone anyone shooting at them.

On one hand, criminals are bad and need to be caught and punished, but on the other hand, jack booted thugs trample the Constitution and need to be stopped at all costs.
Things we can probably assume to be true about the protesters:
a. are Democrats
b. are unemployed or marginally employed
c. are on government assistance
d. a large percentage of them are members of activist groups and were transported there by the groups.
e. the activist groups are being given marching orders by a central command probably tied to someone in the WH
f. have absolutely no clue as to the real facts of the case
g. are thugs themselves just like Brown was
h. voted for Obama
yep, you have the correct information. My appreciation.
Just you wait. The Praetorian Guard Media will sort it all out and explain everything to Obola's satisfaction.
> Not true.
It is unrelated. It’s about a manhunt for a mother killer from last week
Makes you wonder why they used the term, “indirectly related” then unless it was to hype it for news appeal...

Not this Freeper. And you don’t speak for us.
Local News had nothing to report either. The hospital where they were taken would not even admit that they were patients.
“I don’t see that the FBI has any business there myself.”...
Truth be known, there are FBI agents all over this country in big and in small towns. There are a few right in the town next to where I live in Wisconsin where there is a major interstate “junction” and a MAJOR drug interchange. I understand that these agents mostly work illegal drugs issues which leads me to believe that is why they were either serving a warrant or doing an arrest. Probably the later since the shooting was <> 2:30 AM.

And that will take place before it is revealed that the slain FBI agents are both Mormons.... the forum will then go nuts
......laughable that it supposedly isn’t related to Ferguson.
The kooks think a giant conspiracy nationwide exists to “gun down” innocent black kids....but an attitude of lawlessness and disdain for enforcement agents doesn’t create an atmosphere that could hurt officers?
Stupid on steroids.

FBI agents aren’t authorized to execute state or local crimes - only those for US Code violations. Murder of a mother is not a federal crime. The story is not accurate.
correction: FBI agents aren’t authorized to execute state or local warrants.
I don’t know about these two particular agents but a retired cop friend told me the 100 agents brought to Ferguson for the grand jury results were undoubtably there to watch the local cops. He didn’t have a high regard for them, for the most part. That said, they’re law enforcement and they deserve the benefit of a doubt, as most anyone would agree.
Yeah, right. Next they'll tell us the agents were shot by a gang of rampaging Tea Partiers...
Just a few days ago, FBI agents arrested members of the New Black Panthers Party who were purchasing materials to make pipe bombs, ahead of the Ferguson grand jury decision. It was a sting operation, but it’s a bit curious that the FBI was running the show, and not the ATF. With last night’s incident, you’ve got to wonder if Major Washington had any ties to the pipe bomb ring. Yeah, it could have been a completely unrelated drug case—or some other crime—but it looks like someone in the bureau is going after the Panthers (and it’s about time). Amazing that the investigation has progressed this far with Eric Holder running the Justice Department.
