Everyone can say their 2 cents. I wouldn’t forget, out in Oregon/Washington, they caught that Somali in a sort of sting in something similar to this.
I would guess that at least 75% of these cases are setups promoted by the FBI for career, funding, etc. In most cases these people couldn’t cross the street without assistance ... most if they flashed their badges, were warned, and told they would be watched would slink away never to be heard from again.
