It’s rather amazing on certain websites to see self-described “former hippies” defending the FBI, their bete noir for lo these many years. Merely because the FBI seems to oppose their enemy, President Trump, and that part of America which voted for him. So much for principles.

Astarita told state police investigators that he was among the agents at the roadblock and described how Finicum's truck approached at about 70 mph. Astarita said he believed Finicum had struck another hostage team agent as he swerved into the snowbank.

That could explain why he took the shot, but doesn't excuse lying about it.

The video from Inside the vehicle
Is chilling.
Lavoy was VERY agitated...

Just despicable action by law enforcement.

Check the location of the “stop”.

There was no room for the truck TO STOP!

Had he not hit the snowbank—we would all be hearing about him “RAMMING THE POLICE”. This would then have justified A LOT MORE SHOOTING—and no survivors, most likely.

Exactly. For folks that are in their late 60s-70s or older, this place must seem unrecognizable.

That fed agency has been actively working against Americans since Hoover.

Keep defending them though.

To form an accurate opinion of the FBI field agents all one needs to do is recall RUBY RIDGE. The FBI murdered a teenage child and his mother over a sawed-off single barreled shotgun. The sawed-off shotgun resulted from undercover FBI agents enticing the dad and husband into sawing the barrel off in order to entrap him in their sting. This FBI scandal and the FBI/military massacre of the innocent men, women and children at Waco all happened on the Bill Clinton/Janet Reno watch.

I defend my opinion with the truth, while you attack the messenger.

All you do is convince that I’m right.

"Finicum proceeded to commit suicide by cop, endangering the lives of his passengers and law enforcement officers." Gee whiz Eddie, I get it now. Finicum was actually the bad guy here. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I’m not attacking the messenger, I’m attacking an anti American institution who have a love for murdering Americans, framing innocent people, and attempting a coup on a government they don’t like.

That’s just the start of it, but by all means, tell us how great they are.

Well, you didn’t refute a word I said.

Not quite right. It was the BATFE that did the “sting” on Randy Weaver.

When the FBI took over, the BATFE made Weaver out to be a violent, dangerous extremist.

It was a combination cluster-fk between the agencies.

People should have lost their jobs, at least.

Anything between agencies ["interagency" as it is called in DC] is a CF. It is hard enough getting divisions within one agency in the swamp to work together. Nothing good happens "interagency." Whenever you hear the word "interagency" run for the hills. It's where agencies exile their "very best people" you know the kinds of folks TRex has assigned to clearing up the large backlog of FIOA requests.

Suicide by cop? I have a basket of nasty adjectives that apply to your comment, but I’ll just keep them in reserve for now.

Your snarky comment and lack of rebuttal convinces me that I’m right. Thanks for posting.
