"Clearly a justified shooting. The four FBI SWAT team members with machine guns and bullet proof vests cannot take any chances. That seat belt could have been a hand grenade or .44 magnum. Better safe than sorry. Mistakes will be made."

This case cries out for criminal prosecution of the "agent" (still anonymous isn't he?) who assaulted the innocent victim. Yet, the agent will never be prosecuted for his crime. So what does this leave us with? A secret police who can do what they want without any consequences. There isn't any substantive difference now between places like the former USSR and the US as far as the accountability of the government for its actions.

You forgot to add the 4 different screams of "Motherlover,or I'll blow your bleeping brains out!" Nobody in charge,and everybody with a gun and a set of lungs to scream conflicting orders and threats.Is it any wonder crap like this happens?

One thing which causes these kind of incidents to keep occurring is that the average person will not have it happen to them, although it was an "average person" who was involved this time.

Most people I know still think the police or FBI can do no wrong and must be defended at all costs.

The fact that this agent has apparently shot two unarmed people must make him a fugitive from the law of averages. Also a fugitive from the ranks of decency.

That FBI agents can kill someone because they make a sudden move is rediculous. Each case should stand on its own but that should never be enough by itself.

I tell ya what. I thought living like a monk /hermit/saint would keep one out of the rifle sights of these killing teams......But it seems these days you can just be pounced upon at any given moment by mistake. SOP's in these cases SUK !

Stay Safe !

The young Mr. Schultz, although a decorated Boy Scout, is obviously a potential terrorist and got exactly what he deserves. < /extremely offensive sarcasm >
