ND by FBI agent - with a rifle.

[HankB]

. . . If a perp is with a group in an armed robbery, and one of his thug buds kills someone, then heck yea, they should all get the muder rap.

If a leo has a ND, then that rest sqarely on the head of the negligent leo. . . .

Murder, no. Negligent Manslaughter, though?

The FBI is not supposed to lie.

In this particular case, I don't think they were lieing. I think they were just stalling to try to get a better spin on the truth before releasing what happened.

And I agree that any law enforcement agency should be held to a high enough standard where truth and justice are their number 1 priority, but alas, real world reality tells the real unadulterated truth.

I saw the same story.

ND with carbines is a lot easier than a with a pistol. Unless you train daily, the edge goes away and you get very sloppy. Its always good procedure to run through some drills and do a sandtable before heading out to get every head and finger in the game, but I doubt if the FBI does this with their tac teams. The carbines look so light and small that people dont take them seriously either. Spalling from a richochet or a near hit on something by your head will easily kill you - the rounds are going so fast.
