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

If the gun had been a pistol instead of an M-4, he probably would have missed.

Okay we have an FBI agent carrying an M4 at almost contact range. He nails the suspect that misses the brain but goes through the face. Since the subject shot is still consuming oxygen and not DOA we may presume that if the shot was intentional said FBI agent can not hit a target with a rifle at under five feet. So either said agent is a dinger to everyone with his toy or just too stupid to keep his finger off the trigger until rady to shoot. In either case said agent should not be in a situation where he/she is potentially confronting an innocent person with a rifle in said idiot agents hand.

Some additional questions come up like why didn't the FBI agents call in sufficient additional state and local back up to have an overwhelming police presence confronting an armed and dangerous bank robbery suspect that they supposedly thought this innocent person was? I notice no explanation of how the confusion as to identity occurred. Last I heard the FBI had the ability to run a liscense number and if said vehicle was not registered to the party they were looking for they should have at minimum approached with the view that it might not have been their suspect. Since based upon the information presented there was a single discharge the agent in question had the select fire switch set to semi-auto I am questioning why there were not rounds discharged by other agents upon hearing the first shot? Everybody else had fire discipline while Bozo lets one round fly 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 watermellon with an M80 inside?

If some research turns up that this individual might have been a witness to something else involving a politician and or an FBI agent then I would think this may have been a warning to the injured individual. I know never infer nefarious motives when mere stupidity will explain the action but as I enter my dotage I am becoming highly suspicious of the absolute incompetence seemngly on parade by our lead Federal law enforcement agency.

I note that a family member associated with the injured party could also have been target of any warning.

Maybe I am way too suspicous but I can not help questioning.

Stay well - Stay saf e- Stay armed - Yorktown
