[UAH] FBI and Uganda Police: Co-Joined lethal twins
Folks; Reading this catalog of FBI killings of Americans, I can't help but liken the G-Men with Kale Kayihura's bad boys.

The FBI has purposefully — and, it says, justifiably — shot 150 Americans since 1993 By Peter Weber | The Week – 10 hrs ago A by-the-numbers look at the bureau's apparently blameless firing at suspected criminals and other intentional targets After the FBI shot and killed Ibragim Todashev in May, while agents were questioning him about his connection to alleged Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the bureau pledged to investigate the cloudy circumstances surrounding the death. "The FBI takes very seriously any shooting incidents involving our agents, and as such we have an effective, time-tested process for addressing them internally," an agency spokesman said. If the FBI's post-shooting inquiries are time-tested, "their outcomes are also predictable," say Charlie Savage and Michael S. Schmidt in The New York Times. In every single intentional shooting by FBI agents since 1993, the bureau's internal investigations have ruled the shooting as justified, according to interviews and FBI documents The New York Times obtained through a Freedom of Information Act. It turns out, with rare exception, the FBI launches an inquiry whenever an agent fires a shot in the field. "Critics say the fact that for at least two decades no agent has been disciplined for any instance of deliberately shooting someone raises questions about the credibility of the bureau's internal investigations," say Savage and Schmidt, but FBI defenders say that several factors explain the impressive record, including that FBI agents "tend to be older, more experienced, and better trained than city police officers." Whatever the reason, here's a look at the FBI's record of shooting Americans between 1993 to 2011, by the numbers: 2,200 58 70 80 100 9 38 289 5 $1.3 million |
