Routine traffic stop?

a drone....

That was my first thought to. I can see it being a good practice as long as it is used for observation during arrests and other specific cases. I would like to think that the drone was launched to document the stop and arrest, not to follow or track the truck.

yep, it reminded me of Iraq

It was brilliant how they did it. Smart. They couldn't see the road block until that last turn. They set off flash bombs once the vehicle was stopped. The guy coming out from the tree. They gave them a false sense of security letting them roam to go as free as they thought attend local rallies. Then they set the trap. I'm happy that their wasn't more loss of life. It does look like an agent was hit by the Bundy truck though in the beginning. Hope he's ok. Overall I give the take down an A.

One question I do have though from a tactical standpoint. It looks like the guy from the trees shoots into the direction of the others. I always heard that you never set up a cross shoot. Always triangulation so people don't get hit by crossfire.

I watched it a few times this a.m.

then thought once again, "why"

so, please tell me...why does this shite matter in scope of what should be important?

Doubt we'll be seeing "hands up don't shoot" protests on this one.

Because it's on the news, so it must be important.....

Anybody on here think that the shooting wasn't justified?

It's hard to say from that footage. It looked like his hands were up to me.

There is another video out there that shows him reaching into his jacket... Always keep your hands up no matter what.

Run a car towards cops and bad things happen..

Feds did the smart thing and ambushed the leaders when they were out and about in the aforementioned false sense of security. The only one who died was the one who basically stated his intention to do so. Left very little bait for the media, even provided supporting documentation.

It appears to be a classic case of suicide by cop.

There are only "hands up, don't shoot" protests when it doesn't apply.
