Was Robertson an actual deadly threat at the time an FBI agent killed him? We don’t know that because the FBI isn’t saying. [More]
In the absence of bodycam evidence they have the credibility they’ve earned.
Funny, how they’re selective about who gets taken out and who gets special considerations…
Hey, they’ve got a narrative to uphold.

I’ve seen where the FBI claims Robertson pointed a gun at them, “forcing” them to open fire and shoot him 37 times, and I had two immediate thoughts:
1. You busted down his door. You had him under surveillance, you knew he was armed, you could have apprehended him at any point while out of his house, but instead you went and busted down his door at dawn. What did you think he’d do? And why do I suspect you were counting on it so that shooting him dead would be an option?
2. Pics or it didn’t happen. Show the body cam footage.
And as an afterthought, as pointed out on The-Site-Formerly-Known-As-Twitter: Remember when the FBI surveilled, armed up like they were deploying to Afghanistan, and busted down Kathy Griffin’s door over her “bloody beheaded Trump” social media posts? Yeah, me neither.
“Bodycam footage” from the FBI arrives in longhand on pads.
I believe the agents knew that Robertson was going to be killed regardless how he responded. This is a message from the Deep State to the “Deplorables” – we can do this to you, too. Leaving the body outside covered by a bloody sheet was meant to set that message in big type in a very conservative town.
Was he more or less of a threat than Ashli Babbit, or the Branch Davidians, or Vicky or Travis Weaver, or Kenneth Trentadue, or …….?
The bottom line is that federal agents have been offing American citizens without due process for a very long time, and will continue to do so until they are held accountable for these cold blooded murders done by our employees on our dime.
