DOJ and FBI were cleared to use deadly force in the Mar-a -Lago raid

[Paul158]

The 50 FBI agents, and other law officers were cleared to use deadly force in the Mar-a-Lago raid on Trumps home in Florida. They were loaded for bear. Wow!!! This is unreal. Supposedly there were 25-armed Secret Service agents at Mar-a-Lago when the raid took place. This is shocking.

If FBI agents shoot the President do Secret Service agent shoot the FBI agents?

I don't know what the hell they were thinking. The agents were told to wear some unassuming polo shirts. They also were told to conceal their weapons. This could have gone really bad. This was just a little different then when some lawyers gathered up Joe's classified documents at Penn Univ.. Then they made an appointment to go by Joe's house to look for and get some more classified documents. Then they made another appointment to go by Joe's beach house to look for and get some more classified documents. Then Joe is a nice elderly old man with a bad memory so that is that. No charges made.

Those FBI polo shirts must be wearing thin.

Edit: maybe I should’ve been investing in Ralph Lauren these past few years?

I fully expected armed EPA agents were going to show up and seize the Corvett.  Maybe they didn't because it was green?

Too. Much.  Government.

This is astonishingly criminal behavior.  Biden, Garland, and anyone else found complicit should be held to full account.

It’s boilerplate language of the type found on the vast majority of search warrants.

Like, copy/paste sort of thing that applies to 95% of searches.

I tend to agree. Prosecution of conservatives is all boilerplate.

I wonder if such instructions and language are common in felony warrants executed by the FBI.....or if it was just a one time thing because the current President ordered the assassination of the former President   .

 

These MAGA snowflakes in Washington are really reaching!

Yeah, it may surprise you, but the police in the U.S. can use deadly force.  There's a group of people who want to see them defunded/disarmed, but that brings a whole different set of issues.

If you resist/put them in danger, yes.  Cops kill people during traffic stops. If you don't like it, you can move to Europe or Canada.

But if I went to Mexico instead I could come back across the border, get free stuff and not have to worry about being arrested or shot, correct?

I don't know? I think the cops in Mexico are armed as well because of the Cartels.  just know Canada and Europe have very few police killings, so if you don't think police should be armed during raids, those might be the best places to be.

How often do you have to get your outrage machine serviced?

Absolutely EVERY law enforcement officer who carries a gun is cleared to use deadly force when necessary.

It's a pretty simple concept - it's exactly why they are equipped with guns.

They aren't a decoration.

Many posters around here know this. Weird that most remained quiet after such a silly post. (That is the only thing shocking about it.)

It’s amazing to me how many people’s emotions are attached to the comings and going’s of DJT. Human behavior is an extremely interesting study.
