What led an FBI agent, or some other law enforcement official, to shoot and kill an unarmed man in Orlando, Florida? The man, Ibragim Todashev, was being questioned about the Boston bombing, as well as an unsolved 2011 triple murder that he may or may not have confessed to committing. Does that sound sketchy? Don't blame me. Once he died, law enforcement started releasing anonymous, conflicting explanations so dubious that they warrant an inquiry all by themselves.
Did the dead man have a knife? A gun? A sword? None of those? Let's run through a timeline of what we've been told, and then assess all the information that the FBI hasn't released about the killing. ...

Two of the agents were practicing roping onto a ship at sea. They were part of the FBI’s hostage rescue team. Apparently, they fell off the ropes and were killed when they landed on the ship.
Massachusetts law enforcement said he had originally been a suspect in the Boston murders. So why was he being interviewed in an apartment? There were two Mass. State Troopers along with the agent. Certainly they could have taken him to a local law enforcement facility or FBI office to conduct an interview. This was bad planning from the beginning. Probably too lazy to do the job right.
I would have too, but poor George Zimmerman is going through hell because he did exactly that. I doubt we'll ever really know the truth about what happened in that apartment.
If you don't see there is a problem, or are cheering on the 0bama regime, there will be a time of reckoning...trust me.

Something really stinks in this case. First they say the deceased lunges at a feebie with a knife, then they say he was unarmed. They say at least six law enforcement people involved in interrogation which had gone on for several hours. Why wasn’t the suspect brought to a law enforcement facility? Why wasn’t he properly secured. If local cops shoot an unarmed suspect or the shooting is otherwise questionable the case goes to a grand jury this case cries out for a grand jury to learn the facts. We all know dead men tell no tales. Were they trying to scare him into confessing via a “Russian roulette” scenario? With the DOJ, FBI, State Dept et al out of control, and not trusted, the people need to know what happened.
Cuz the FBI mistook him for a ‘threatening’ dog??
Ahhhh, the “woof, woof” defense?
Even tho’ I’m pretty sure this guy was a jihadi sympathizer, if not in fact a co-conspirator, I have to say this story kind of stinks.
If they just screwed up, why don’t they admit it?
LEOs interrogate dangerous people every day, I can’t remember another story where the questionee got killed.
And a lawyer.
“Probably the same reason that they seem to have pushed two FBI agents involved in the case out of a helicopter to drown at sea.”
Please give us some more info on this!
Did they bury him at sea?
The state of affairs is pretty sorry.
Fixed it.
Here’s one story:
http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-05-19/local/39376664_1_fbi-academy-virginia-beach-agents
Other reports said that they were involved in the Boston Marathon bombing.
Of course, it’s pure speculation that they were ordered killed. But it’s a curious coincidence, so close to the Boston bombing. And, FWIW, it bears a resemblance to the deaths of many of the Seal Team 6 members who were involved with the bin Ladin business.
Yeah, that’s fair enough.
I don’t know, people do die in these training exercises. I’m sorry, but I can’t say I’m persuaded regarding these two agents, may they rest in peace.
But there is something fishy about this whole marathon situation, like there is something extremely fishy about Benghazi.
While I do believe Obama was born in Hawaii, aside from that I’m ready to believe almost anything about this America-hating, terrorist-friendly, totally creepy man.
I’d just like to know what he was doing while our ambassador (his friend!) was being murdered; why they felt it was necessary to cook up that cockamamie video cover story; why no lib is outraged that the admittedly shady “filmmaker” was tossed back in the clink double-time; and why explosive sniffing dogs did not detect the explosives at the marathon.
Oh yeah, I’d also like to know why congress hasn’t questioned the classification of the Fort Hood attack as “workplace violence”.
Is it all really just incompetence and garden variety corruption, the lust for power, etc.? Or is there something worse going on here?
You see what I did, I rejected your conspiracy theory and substituted several of my own.
Eh, that was a little sneaky of me, I apologize!
Highly doubtful what with there being so many people around and at least one friend waiting for him. Despite it being inside the apartment, it was still too public and too many people knew what was going on inside. He had a violent streak and had just knocked a guy's teeth out in a fight over a parking lot at the mall a few days before. He was a punk. I don't have a problem with the story changing from a knife to a sword as it could be the same. The guy was already in a state of mind going into the interview so that he was ready to strike. IMO, the msm is trying to spin this. I don't see the Chechyan community out protesting or roiting or tossing pressure cooker bombs at Disney tourists so they don't seem too upset over his demise.
It could be that they were getting ready to handcuff him and take him downtown when he decided he wasn't going to go.
He was interviewed for 8 hours?!? Have you not been reading any of these articles? Try in the neighborhood of 3 hours.
THAT’S CORRECT..... KILL THE OLDER, MIRANDIZE AND LAWYER UP THE YOUNGER AND KILL THIS LAST ONE. When will we be told the TRUTH? Not by this corrupt, halfassed imept regime...
