I've been pretty obvious and open about being a civil libertarian, and its not hard to piece together the difference between supporting individuals being prosecuted and persecuted for their role in carrying out government policy, and objecting to government policy. This is about one step removed from officers just shouting "he's headed right for us" and carrying out a summary execution. Its the same politically motivated FBI that raided the homes of James o Keefe and Pete Navarro in the middle of the night with a SWAT team because of the imminent danger posed by their acts of journalistic propriety and dissident economic theorizing. I hope nothing I ever post online makes my autocratic overlords consider me too dangerous to take alive
Darren Wilson didn't show up to Michael Brown's house in the middle of the night and kick down his door, and it wasn't FPD policy to jedi mind trick 300 lb cigar thieves to try to etch-a-sketch a police officer through his car window. An officer deserves the same presumption of innocence and benefit of civil liberties as the rest of the population, and that includes not having the FBI roleplay the opening to Gilliam's Brazil at your suburban home.
the cops didnt shout "he's heading right at us", the whacko shouted "i'm coming right at you".
i dont think you've ever posted you want to kill biden, then told the FBI when they show up PEACEFULLY at your door for an interview that the next time they come back with a warrant you'll be waiting with guns.
honestly the number of hurdles you have to clear to support the dead whacko is unreal. and i know why, the FBI are the ones saying the whacko threatened them. but you dont trust the FBI, so you discredit it.
your need to assume the FBI is summarily executing random dudes who threatened Biden on facebook is silly in this instance. they've got bigger fish to fry than becoming a defacto hit squad ala Putin's cronies. dude did enough to justify the initial visit, that much is beyond question, and that interview did NOT go his way. he shot himself in the foot metaphorically, and they shot him in the body literally.
the fact that this guy is in the "FBI = dangerous armed force for the global elites" and then went on to threaten them with guns shows he wasn't mentally well, and now he's not mentally anything. he's a dead body, thankfully the only one.
