This incident begs many questions. The main question is why was the FBI breaking down local residents doors? Why weren’t the local law enforcement officials leading this effort?
We have entirely to many FBI agents in this country. There seems to one or more in every village and hamlet in the land.
It seems that our local officials are capitulating their authority over to the feds for no reason at all.
An officer should be assigned to guard the home 24/7 until the door is replaced.
“Welcome to the Police State. What do you think the Patriot Act was all about?”
They just have the illusion of power crafted by an incessant media. WE surround them.
Somebody is not doing their job. They are called the Federal Bureau of Investigation. You think they would know all about who was living in that house before the raid.
Web cams to off site storage/websites. However, the homeowner will still be dead.
I think you're exactly right. They don't give a damn about innocent people anymore, which is a veeeeeery bad sign for our republic. I mean, this is the FBI, for crying out loud, not a bunch of bumbling Barney Fifes.
“The entry to Mr. Adams’ house, though, raises the question: Absent a search warrant, when can law enforcement knock in a door?”
When the door is closed? Is this a trick question?
Excellent point. I’ve actually thought of that many times... Maybe you could even set up firing lanes in the house: Some walls would stop bullets, some wouldn’t. Some would have gaps or holes in the armor. Only I would know which was which... BANG, BANG, BANG... “Hey, he’s got armor plating in the walls”... BANG, BANG, BANG... “Wrong, a**hole, I left that little gap just for you.”
No word on them having a dog so I guess one wasn’t shot.
What happens when they break down the doors on the wrong place again and some poor citizen thinks its a bad guy and gets his gun to protect him or herself and the feds shoot and kill them? Is sorry going to cut it then? How do you pay for that kind of unrepairable damage?
Repairs?? How do they repair this man and his families sense of safety in their own home.
There is no reason police cannot wait until morning when people leave the house to arrest them.
All of these Paramilitary operations are BS.
Waco-—Ruby Ridge.
FBI= 1st home grown terrorists. Ruby Ridge, WACO etc. Plus the “we’ll pay damages translates to the taxpayer will pay the damages.
After "Ruby Ridge" they promoted the guilty...

The FBI says theyll pay for repairs. I wonder how many years that will take to clear the bureaucracy?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Yes, but if (AND WHEN) they make the payment, it is an admission of wrong doing...so it may just take forever...
Like a couple of other posters noted, THEY pay nothing, US taxpayers will be paying to fix the door etc.
I love these pompous feds, “Oh, don’t worry, the Bureau will pay the fine, damages etc,”....it all falls under the same BS dream world that says the Government actually makes money (other than printing it).
The only money the Gov ‘makes’ is off the back of US.

My goal is to take at least a couple with me. Maybe then theyll stop doing this crap and get their intel together.
Unfortunately, that's precisely what it's going to take. This liberty raping horseshit needs to stop, NOW!
More incompetent than BATFE? That is hard to believe.

Yes the War on Drugs and the Patriot Act; started by Republicans.
