Bean bags???!!!!Headline should read:
ATF Murders its Own Agent
Rules of engagement will kill our people everytime.
Interesting that one of the BP union locals freaked out about having to view an active shooter training lecture meant for office staff, but I don’t remember anybody screaming about this ROE. The Sector Chief was transferred right after this incident, but I don’t know if that was punitive. In general BP leadership is pretty poor so there isn’t any reason to believe the replacement would be any better.
They just “revealed” this? I heard about it a year and a half ago.
Brian Terry was doubly screwed by his government—DOJ armed the bad guys, and PC attitudes on the rules of engagement took away his means of self defense.
Defending America ain’t Bean Bag. Or is it?
If he’d been armed with bags of Skittles instead, Eric Holder’s people would be in the streets outraged.
FBI Criminal Informant Complicit in Brian Terry’s Death (PJM Exclusive)The rip crew was in Peck Canyon that evening with the intention of stealing money and drugs from a specific shipment of which they had prior knowledge.

The rip crew knew to be in Peck Canyon that December evening because a CI working for the FBI found out about a smuggling run — from the FBI.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — through its own CIs and communications intercepts — was also aware of the planned assault.
Neither the DEA nor FBI warned Border Patrol about the expected criminal activity.

The federal government will still not reveal if one of the two WASR-10 AK-pattern semi-automatic rifles located near the scene — provided to the Sinaloa cartel via Operation Fast and Furious — was the weapon that put a bullet through Brian Terry’s heart. The existence of a third recovered gun, an SKS carbine, has been disputed by the FBI despite the fact it had been talked about openly in the beginning of the investigation among federal agents.
Multiple sources tell PJM that this third weapon “disappeared” because it was the weapon carried by the FBI CI who ran the rip crew. When it was recovered near the scene of the murder and subsequently traced by the ATF, it traced back to the FBI CI via the gun shop in Texas where it was purchased.
Brian Terry’s murder was entirely preventable. The incompetence of the DEA and FBI let his Border Patrol unit walk into an ambush. After the ambush, it appears the FBI tampered with evidence to cover up that one of their informants was involved with the murder of a federal agent.
