As I wrote elsewhere, I don’t know what is more breathtaking.
1. The FBI was empowered to used deadly force when raiding Mar-A-Lago.
2. The FBI’s response to the news was, “it’s no big deal….we are empowered to open fire ALL THE TIME.”
3. The FBI thought #2 would fix #1.
Every police officer that carries a sidearm is empowered to use deadly force only when appropriate.
Did you even read what I posted?
If so, you would have seen this:
"Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.
"Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.
"Firearms many not be fired solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle..."
Not exactly empowered to just open fire at will.
