That's pure BS, Why do you have a problem with LEO's being held to the same standards as civilians? because you are a LEO.
So, the FBI gets first jurisdiction over bank robberies, as ridiculous as that is with every state police force now equipped with radios in every car, and instant access to other jurisdictions for establishing roadblocks, etc.
From what I hear about the local LE in that area, though, the same thing may just as easily have happened with them in charge rather than the Feebs.
We could reduce crime in America by reducing FBI forces by 80 per cent- For a starter....
The Federal Marshal who shot little Sammy's Weaver's dog was later given a U.S.govt. medal. And of course not one FBI agent has been tried for the murder of the innocents at Waco,Tx..were 25 little children died.
I don't know what they'll do to this guy, but he should be tried for murder
And you ought to be banned for absolute reckless posting ...
Reckless, absolutely reckless ...
The Constitution spells out exactly where Congress may pass criminal statutes. They have created this mess and they have to be the ones who undo it.
Just about cried when he left us. He sure could tell a tale.
I particularly remember him telling the story of Jeff Davis Milton, who Skeeter thought was maybe the greatest lawman of them all. I had never heard of Milton, despite the fact that he was born and raised not far from where I was in the Florida Panhandle.
I once had some dealings with an FBI agent. Can't tell the story because of privacy act but he was a real piece of work. In fact he was not just an agent but a supervisor. I recall thinking the same thing as you. J. Edgar Hoover would never have put up with that guy.
I might also add that one of my best friend's Sister was a secretary with the FBI. We went to Washington D.C. to visit her and her two room-mates. A couple of FBI agents came by their apartment while we were there and they struck me as a couple of real sleazeballs. They were smart sleazeballs tho.
My opinion is that the FBI provides valuable services for aiding and abetting criminals (ie Horiuchi, Reno) get away with vicious murders.
It may soon reach the point where your average joe-six pack is going to start thinking that the only good FBI agent is a dead one.
BTW here's a tip if federal thugs come busting down your door in the middle of the night: Make head shots.
Excuse me - This was not a "shoot/no-shoot" situation.That is simply a phrase to make it look like they have the most dangerous and demanding job in the world, and they do not ! It was clearly a "no-shoot" situation all the way, no gun should have been pointed, no finger on the trigger. There is no "decision" to make- it is common sense- not to mention the common law of the land.
The same law applies to everybody and this FBI Agent should be tried for murder. While I believe in the second amendment, the right of a citizen to bear arms, this guy needs a felony on his record so that he can never be hired as a policeman again, anywhere ! But it is possible the FBI will "protect one of their own" and keep him on the payroll like Lon Horiuchi ! After all the guy he shot they would call a "subject" .
This comparison defames rabid motorcycle gangs everywhere.
You're getting warm.
How about being certified all thru training because of AA and the need to graduate a certain mix of agents.
The guy should be hauled to court and every instructor that certified him charged as an accessory to felonious assault.
Translation:
Give us a chance to get our story straight and dispose of the evidence.
How can these tragic clowns be forced to come clean. Could Congress be somehow persuaded to open its own investigation?
