"Is that my briefcase?"
Posted on 12/21/2020 3:07:04 PM PST by dynachrome
Last Tuesday, an FBI agent pulled out his gun and repeatedly shot a passenger on the Washington subway. At the bottom of B6 in Saturday’s Washington Post – buried past an article headlined, “Despite the upcoming solstice, winter has already arrived” is a short piece headlined: “Police:‘Verbal exchange’ preceded Metro shooting.” There were zero news reports or disclosures for the two days after the shooting – except for a brief FBI note that there had been an “officer-involved shooting” on the subway.
What did the passenger say that provoked the shooting? It’s a secret – at least for the time being.
Did the FBI agent “go postal” after being taunted about J. Edgar Hoover wearing dresses?
Did the guy who was shot say “Black Lives Matter” or, even more recklessly, “All Lives Matter?”
Did the FBI agent lose control because someone violated Metro rules by eating an Egg McMuffin on the train?
Did the victim forget to say “Thank you for your service” to the FBI agent?
The Washington Post blocked all comments on the article, an unusual step that occurs when readers are prone to expose the cravenness or servility of Post articles that merely recycle government talking points on potentially explosive subjects.

That’s not even sporting, like fish in a barrel.
Wait until Jan 6th
The FBI has been corrupt for forty years,,,did anyone go to jail over the Randy Weaver killings..NO
"Is that my briefcase?"
The Times noted “conflicting accounts about basic facts like whether the Chechen man, Ibragim Todashev, attacked an agent with a knife, was unarmed or was brandishing a metal pole.
But Orlando homicide detectives are not independently investigating what happened.”
An Orlando police spokesman told the Times: “We had nothing to do with it… It’s a federal matter, and we’re deferring everything to the F.B.I.”
How did this ever come about? How did local law enforcement surrender their authority to the FBI who constitutionally should only have authority on Federal land?
This was a homicide in Boston. This I assume was a resident of Boston, entitled to any protections that other residents of Boston receive.
Investigating homicides within the borders of Boston is the job of the Boston Police Department.
If not the local police, the Massachusetts State Police should have investigated this homicide. The FBI is bowed down to by local police for no reason. They do not have any authority in the States superior to the local authorities. Actually their only authority is in crimes that cross state lines. This was definitely a crime within the city of Boston.
Except for the well connected, wealthy and powerful. They've turned the pledge into a joke. They've made a public mockery of citizenship, loyalty and our sacred voting privilege.
I always say this about people in general, and I truly believe it.
“Some FBI are good but there’s still infiltration of bad guys.”
Therefore, to be on the safe side you have to assume they are all scum until proven otherwise.
It’s called original sin.

I think that’s why Barr is keeping the FBI from the investigation into election theft. He can’t let the FBI get close to evidence or witness lists because of infiltration and he doesn’t want the public to disregard FBI collected evidence based on recent FBI behavior. That, and he needs to make it plain that Trump has not weaponized the DOJ to protect his election win.
“Wreaked of Wal-Mart” ?? what does that mean?
You sound like the radio hosts who have to preface their observations about corruption and nastiness by assuring the listeners that they personally are not corrupt and that they are really nice guys even while they oppose some of the Left maniacal enthusiasms.
We need J. Edgar Hoover!
Taken over by the bad guys is more like it. Probably less than half that agency is worth a damn at this point.
You ain’t wrong
Horiuchi was the killer in Ruby Ridge and was also at Waco. When they attempted to match shell casings found in a sniper hide to his gun, the FBI Armorer stated that his gun had already had the barrel replaced. Unfortunately, there a lots just like him.
Believe it or not, if a fed is involved in a deadly force situation, and their ROEs are exponentially more lenient than that of cops, the local jurisdiction can’t really do much about it, unless they conduct their own independent investigation. The feds don’t have to cooperate.
Not sure if you’ve read up on what happened to Lavoy Finicum, but they straight up murdered that guy and the feds obstructed the State Police every step of the way.
A fish rots from the head down, but ultimately the entire fish is rotten.
The FEEBEE is an entirely corrupt organization, has been since the 80’s.
I spent many years working for government organizations of one sort or another, even the newest hires know what’s going on in their organization.
From the newest hired janitor to the directors, every body knows.
So why didn’t these “good”, honorable, honest FBI people blow a few whistles when all this crap was happening?
BECAUSE THERE AREN’T ANY, THATS WHY!!!!
Bill Barr continues his job: protect the corrupt FBI from any and all scrutiny
FINALLY; someone who gets it!
