IMHO, this shows that these FBIstapo agents are well-trained in the proper procedures for keeping the peasants in line.
. When did suspects become "subjects"?
"yet Bozo had enough sense to set M4 to semi auto and only squeeze off one round that does not make innocent subjects head explode like a watermelon with an M80 inside?
Compare this to the Rodney King shooting video, which we saw on network TV news 50,000 times in the first days.
I guess our new msters are better at squelching this type of video evidence.
The last I heard it was not a crime to fit a description of a suspect in a crime.

Llamas are nice, gentle, useful beasts of burden. Even an old and worn out llama deserves better than to be given to these Friggin' Bureaucratic Idiots.

Oh, you meant the pistol. Sorry. Carry on....

All in all the Miami shootout is a textbook example of how to screw up a felony rolling surveilance/stop. it also shows that an individual who has adreneline or some drugs pumping through his or her veins may not go down immediately even if the heart is destroyed. The odds are they will be stopped but there are no death rays out there.

As for any of the Fibbies involved in this laughing and joking after the fact particularly on camera they should be collecting unemployment rather than being drawing a civil service check.
First, they obviously do not have the correct attitude for the job. They shot an innocent twenty year old. They messed him up bad. It was their screw up. Joking about almost killing a person but leaving him seriously wounded is more appropriate for a gangbanger drug dealer than a person who is supposed to be serving the citizenry of this nation. I know of men in RVN who felt bad about wasting a teenager who was firing a rifle at them.
Second, they certainly have a sense of public relations that is in the same category as Leona Helmsley's. Hey I suppose they could do something worse in a public relations sense than joking after the incident but it would probaly involve catching an infant on a bayonnet while laughing.
Today on the radio I heard the agent involved in the shooting will be trasfered to a post where it will be far less likely he will be involved in any other shootings.

I have no idea of the skin tone of the person shot but I will hazard a guess that he was not very dark skinned otherwise Jesse Jackson would be all over this like flies converging on fresh feces.
Re: The famous but incompetent charlie foxtrot in Miami this one should probaly go down in their lore as another Charlie Foxtrot but knowing how government agencies work my guess is that the shooter will be some sort of folk hero to some of the newbies.

LOL, I will "carry on".........and on.....
I'm in 100% agreement on this,Fred. However,it should be obvious to everybody that there is some "spin" (to put it politely!)going on here to influence people's emotions. I don't belive for a minute that they left him laying face down and handcuffed for a hour after he was shot. NOBODY is more anal that the Feebs,and I think it would be emotionally impossible for them to do something like this. It would be their nature to immediately call a ambulance,and people have a hard time going against their nature.
The gentlemen, repeat gentlemen of the F.B.I. were great people.
I wish I could say the same now, sneakypete; I have a more sanguine view, refreshed, as in the above case; blame the "doing the nation's business"-units created by Clinton for the purpose of directing compliance with political correctness.
PC Shield for Terrorists, TownHall.com, June 11, 2002, by Paul Craig Roberts (posted by Free Fire Zone):
My Sept. 12 column predicted that the United States would prove to be too "politically correct" to be able to deal with the terrorist threat.The admission that I was right came on June 6 from FBI director Robert S. Mueller III, when according to The Washington Times, he told Congress that fears of racial profiling did impede the FBI's terrorism investigation of Arab men.
After admitting that the FBI was too politically correct to do its job, Mueller gave Congress assurances -- to the great relief of Wisconsin Democrat Russell D. Feingold -- that the FBI "is against, has been and will be against any form of profiling." With this assurance, Mueller placed the privileged status of "preferred minority" higher than citizens' safety.
Some situations are too absurd for comment. In the name of "the war on terrorism," the U.S. government kills Muslims in Afghanistan who have never lifted a finger against the United States, but refuses to profile Muslims on its own territory who might be planning terrorist incidents.
FBI field agent and whistle blower Coleen Rowley revealed that agents in the field were alert to the flight-training activities of suspicious Middle Eastern men. Yet, headquarters not only refused to act but blocked the agents from following their judgment.
After the FBI, CIA, Immigration Service and State Department fiascos that alone made the events of Sept. 11 possible, why does any sane person think a "Homeland Security" department will provide any protection against terrorist acts?
Why assume that putting all the fools under one roof will reduce the foolery?
Most air travelers regard "airport security" as a bad joke. It is worse. It is an insult. The refusal to focus on the group to which Muslim terrorists are known to belong treats native-born citizens as the enemy and ensures the lack of security.
Pointless searches of grandmothers, young children, U.S. representatives, presidential appointees, pilots and Marine generals divert resources from security and send the message that the government has no idea whatsoever who terrorists might be.
On my last air travel, eyes rolled and heads shook when a feeble, elderly couple was selected for search. Everyone knows that these mindless, insulting searches provide no security to anyone but terrorists. Yet, the president of the United States and his Cabinet lack the wits to fire the fools who have made air travel safe for terrorists by refusing to profile.
Searches of individuals and carry-on luggage are nothing but an opportunity for petty pilfering by security personnel. Personal objects are taken from harmless people and even charms stolen from bracelets. One security idiot tried to steal a war hero's Medal of Honor because the medal is affixed with a pin. While passengers are harassed with this mindless nonsense, checked luggage and air freight are loaded without security checks.
If truth be known, nothing is done to protect passengers. The purpose of passenger searches and the no-standing rule within 30 minutes of Washington, D.C., is to protect the government from terrorists seizing control of an airliner and flying it into a government building.
Despite the terrible events of Sept. 11, the United States government continues to issue hundreds of thousands of visas to young Muslims. We have no idea who these people are and are unable to track them once they arrive on our shores. The visa process is corrupt and replete with bribes. Osama bin Laden himself could enter the United States today on a visa.
Faced with the incongruity, the U. S. attorney general has proposed fingerprinting Middle Easterners who enter on visas. Opposition has risen to this politically incorrect proposal. But the unasked question is why the United States is allowing any visas to be issued to Muslims.
If the threat of terrorism is so great that constitutional restraints must be removed from police and a new, expensive Cabinet position of "Homeland Security" must be created, why are visas issued to potential terrorists?!
Why is President Bush creating an incipient Department of Secret Police when nothing is being done to curtail the inflow of potential terrorists?
President Bush should not be surprised if millions of Americans come to the conclusion that the "war on terror" is nothing but a propaganda cover for increasing the police powers of the government over native-born loyal citizens.
