Title: Good conclusion...I can make it better!

"Political denunciations of extremism are no substitute for compelling federal agencies to obey the law and the Constitution.  As long as many Americans believe that FBI snipers have a license to kill, they will assume the worst when federal agents are deployed. And as long as the Justice Department prattles about the privileges of federal agents to act unlawfully, the government deserves all the cynicism it reaps."

I'm re-reading "Black Mass" about how the FBI covered for Whitey Bulger. Crooked then, crooked now.

Great article at the link. It still matters.

I watched some documentary on Ruby Ridge in the past year. It was awful.  Few facts or timeline about the incident, but lots of smearing of Randy Weaver. It might have been a PBS documentary.

From the linked story:

Quote
On August 22, 1992, FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot Randy Weaver in the back after he stepped out of his cabin. As he struggled to return to his home, Horiuchi shot and killed Vicki Weaver, who was standing in the cabin door holding their 10-month old baby. A confidential 1994 Justice Department task force report was appalled that people were gunned down before receiving any warning: “The absence of a [surrender demand] subjected the Government to charges that it was setting Weaver up for attack.”
...
In January 1995, FBI chief Louis Freeh announced that the FBI had completed its self-investigation, which effectively confirmed that the bureau was still immaculate.
...

The FBI sniper went on to WACO .......
