Boston police: Man killed by FBI agent, cop in terror probe
Boston Herald ^ | 6/2/15 | Owen Boss

An armed man in his 20s being surveilled by the FBI counterterrorism unit was shot and killed by an FBI agent and a Boston police officer in Roslindale this morning, according to Boston Police Commissioner William Evans.

"He was on foot, under surveillance," Evans said. "The officers have been surveilling him and again they wanted to speak to him ... and he turned and our officers gave several commands for him to drop the weapon and unfortunately he came at the officers and they did what they were trained to do and that's never an easy decision for any officer to make."

One FBI agent and one BPD officer fired, FBI Special Agent in Charge Vincent B. Lisi said.

Not a lot of details yet, but interesting that the BPD spokesman is already stating that this was a terrorist probe.

Scratch one more. There is probably a whole nest of them up there. Bring in the flame throwers and have a roast up party.

You mean the feds didn’t clean house in the Boston area after the Tsarnov lads blew up the Boston Marathon? Must’ve been too busy spying on US citizens.

From a tweet by reporter David S. Bernstein: A Boston area Imam, Ibrahim Rahim, has posted on Facebook that his brother is the victim of today’s police shooting... He has posted on Facebook that the man fatally shot in Roslindale is his youngest brother Usaama Rahim.

The comments following the article are with one exception in support of the police actions and questioning why these terrorist scum (my word choice) are even in the US.

Ah, pulling a J. Edgar.

Not familiar with da mayor, but apparently he's a client of the publicity firm (same people that advise Shakedown Jackson, Chuck the Schmuck, etc.) that encourages its customers not to let anything get between themselves and a camera.

The more cameras, the better.

Usually.

Another mayor, Marion Barry, had a slightly different viewpoint, but couldn't be reached for comment.

Local reporter Lauren Leamanczyk tweeted this: Man shot in Roslindale was under investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Investigators are at a 2nd location linked to same case.

Odd that the FBI would be going after a radical Muslim - isn't that a "PC no-no"?
