[Agent Smith]

Here is the conclusion that the "investigation" SHOULD reach. The Firearm instructors of the FBI teach agents that their finger is SUPPOSED to be on the trigger when a suspect is held at gun point. This Agency policy almost guarantees accidental discharges that will injure innocents and criminals, unnecessarily. Stupid and reckless pure and simple, BUT you know the FBI knows the best way to do everything all the time. It is an article of faith. We the Citizens/taxpayers will get to foot the tab, AGAIN.

I suppose it is encouraging that the FBI has learned (from the Miami incident) that long arms (M4s) are a necessaty for felony stops.

For the record, I am not, nor have ever been employed by the FBI, my screen name comes from a central character in the Matrix.

That's nuts. What makes the FBI so special that they can ignore one of the cardinal rules of firearms safety? You NEVER put your finger on the trigger unless you INTEND to shoot.

The agent who pulled the trigger does not have the self-control necessary to be an FBI agent, or an armed security guard for that matter.

I'm just waiting for the FBI to blame the gun for having a weak trigger pull or some such nonsense.

No need to explain. Most of the geeks on FR have seen the Matrix dozens of times.

I think it was the Miami Shootout that caused the FBI to change their policy to now carry more sophisticated weapons in the pursuit of bank robbers.
