FBI agents searching for an armed bank robber pulled over the wrong car last night on Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena and shot a man in the face who had no connection to the crime, authorities said.

The 27-year-old victim, whose name was not released, was flown by helicopter to Maryland Shock Trauma Center and is expected to live.

"Anytime anyone gets shot, whether it's the right or wrong person -- we are traumatized by it as well," said FBI spokesman Peter Gulotta. "This is not something that we like to see happen. The circumstances will be thoroughly investigated."

This agent should be prosecuted and barred from public positions. Will that happen? I doubt it. Just mho.

An FBI agent... fired... from an M-4 assault rifle, hitting the male passenger in the face

This sounds familiar. Didn’t this happen to someone’s wife inside of her own home while she was holding her baby?

We all know where this is leading !! We’re losing this republic.

So... is it time to roll ?

Why don't we ever have the name and photo of the idiots who abuse their power like this?

Let's post his ugly mug ALL over the place, and let him be castigated by the community and the nation.

Just flagging a Baltimore sort to the story.

And what's to be said? Is not collateral damage -- as with Waco -- the normal course of affairs in law enforcement these these days?

Don't you feel better knowing that half trained FIBBIEs are running loose with 5.56mm M-4s?

Aahhh! The Baltimore perspective. I should have recognised that from the unique use of the HTML tags.

Before anybody rolls I think we need a very thorough house cleaning at the DOJ and FBI,which will probably never happen in our life time.

"The FBI field office in Annapolis, MD. (Anne Arundel County) is one of the most corrupt FBI field offices in the U.S"

That HAS to be a very fine differential by any measure! :-)

They'll probably try to cover it up by throwing a gun in the guy's car and then railroading him into prison.
