| #11 Of course he's just an excitable boy! "An agent shot and killed Todashev inside his apartment after what the FBI called a "violent confrontation." The FBI has not been clear about what sparked that shooting, or if he had a weapon, but neighbors were surprised by what they found on his front door -- a stenciled picture of what appears to be an AK-47."

| #10 No mention the FBI agent had to go to the hospital to repair injuries inflicked by kung fu Ibra? He wasn't unarmed, he had two and used them. |

| #9 On the other hand, using information that is easily discoverable about Todashev, if he threw anything at me, whether or not he was armed, and if I were armed, I'd shoot him rather than wrestle with him. |

| #8 Then there was this incident the other day: Retired veteran shot by police was pronounced dead inside his own garage FORT WORTH — A 72-year-old Woodhaven resident fatally shot by police officers investigating a burglary alarm from across the street was pronounced dead inside his garage, the Tarrant County medical examiner said Wednesday. Police have said that two patrol officers encountered an armed Jerry Waller at the back of his house “near the garage- driveway area.” They have not specifically said where Waller was when he was shot. But Waller’s son, Chris Waller, said in an email to the Star-Telegram that the police account of the shooting is inaccurate. “My father never stepped outside of his garage. He was shot multiple times in the chest only a few steps away from the doorway to his kitchen,” Chris Waller said. The confusion stems from the fact that law enforcement officers can do no wrong. |

| #5 The Unforgettable Year Bullets fly and deadly force used as FBI agent(s) along with State Police officers fail to subdue suspect unarmed suspect. All of this happening under an administration comprised of Chicago democratic party machine black elite, labor unions, and Jewish socialists.... |

| #4 Nobody briefed Ibby that the interrogation lunge is a poorly conceived move. That's a shame. |

| #1 FTA: this case illustrates why the FBI ought to be required to record all of its interrogations, using video when possible and at least audio in all circumstances. I wouldn't be surprised that the Todashev incident had actually been fully recorded. Nor would I be surprised that the recordings go missing. |
