I'm of the opinion that it should be mandatory that FBI agents come from regular police forces after they have several years experience.

Here we have an example that I think would have been specifically addressed by this requirement. First, the failure to use felony stop procedures. That was supposed to be mandatory procedure for the FBI after the Miami shootout.

Second the failure to properly identify the subject as the suspect.

Third, the fact that when they told the yound man to get out of the car he fired at him when he was reaching fo rthe seatbelt.

There is no assertion that his finger slipped. He meant to shoot and did shoot the fact that he missed a vital area is to his detriment.

At the end of the day, the only conclusion that one can draw from this incident is that it's basically open season on American citizens. There will be no accountability or justice here. We'll hear apologies and excuses, that's all. Some way will be found to demonize and blame the victim. It's just another signpost on the road to unintended consequences.
