Shorter FBI: "All Our Shootings Are Justified."

That's what the FBI claims. Even when one of their agents shoots at a safe, it's justified.

And every day, at the FBI Headquarters, a pallet of this stuff is delivered:


Note that the justification for the FBI's summary execution shooting of Ibragim Todashev keeps changing. "He was armed with a knife, no, a broomstick, no, a metal pipe, oh, he wasn't armed at all" when he supposedly attacked two FBI agents in a room full of other cops. Then there was a case where an FBI agent (with a history of questionable shootings of people) shot a man for not obeying his orders, when the man he shot was obeying the orders of another FBI agent.

The question should be asked that, if the FBI is so eagerly whitewashing all of its shootings, an old tradition, why do they even bother to investigate any of them?

  1. Ever watch "The Good Wife"? I'm thinking of Episode 3.19 : Blue Ribbon Panel.

  2. The FBI has succeeded in making the Boston bombing look like an FBI sting operation gone wrong, then very, very badly covered up.

    The Bureau probably spent some effort at radicalizing the young men, then before they got the chance to deliver Silly Putty to them as an explosive, the guys actually did what the FBI really wanted them to do.

    Then, it suddenly became VERY URGENT that some people died in gunfire. Thus, two huge gun battles against unarmed men, and the murder of a witness. Perhaps also the murder of a cop.
