Yeah.

The FBI are like the last people you want to gently caress with.

I mean they took on multiple mob families at once across several states and won so convincingly that the mob is a complete shell of it's former self with zero hope of recovery.

Sure, I don't disagree at all that the feds probably had the legal right to shoot him. I just would rather he have a gun to help fight the SovCit narrative.

It doesn't matter if they had videos from 12 angles showing Tarpman shot a dozen officers before being shot himself, their narrative would be the same. Hell, the more evidence you give them, the more they'd claim it was clearly a fabricated setup.

Jerry and Joe Kane were on film killing two cops and you can find videos by SovCits "proving" that they were shot at first and it was totally self-defense when they double-tapped the officers to make sure they were dead.

I'm betting on the "they shot him before he had time to stop and while mortally wounded he lost control of his vehicle and drove right towards the evil FBI assassins" angle.

Statement from the FBI from about 11:07 AM today, not sure if it was posted here yet.

quote:

Good morning. My name is Greg Bretzing, and I am the Special Agent in Charge for the FBI in Oregon.

For the past month, the FBI -- along with our partners at the Harney County Sheriff's Office, Oregon State Police and the many other federal and local agencies -- have had a very deliberate and measured response. We worked diligently to bring the situation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to a peaceful end. Some of those actions were seen, some unseen. But, because this is an on-going investigation with some armed individuals illegally remaining in the refuge, we cannot get into details as to every action tried or taken.

I will say that the armed occupiers were given ample opportunities to leave peacefully. They were given the opportunity to negotiate. As outsiders to Oregon, they were given the opportunity to return to their homes and have their grievances heard through legal and appropriate means. They chose, instead, to threaten the very America they profess to love with violence, intimidation and criminal acts.

Yesterday, the FBI and our partners took the necessary actions to start bringing this situation to an end. We worked to ensure that we could do so in the safest way possible -- removing the threat of danger from innocent citizens. We continue to work to empty the refuge of the armed occupiers in the safest way possible.

Eight people were arrested, and one man died yesterday as we attempted to take him into custody. Because there is an on-going investigation by the Deschutes County Major Crimes Team on behalf of OSP related to this piece of the investigation, I will not be able to comment on the specifics.

I would, however, ask for your patience as the shooting investigation works its way through that outside process. At the appropriate time, the Medical Examiner's office will release the decedent's identity, and OSP will address the details of the event.

Let me be clear: It is fully and unequivocally the behavior and the choices made by the armed occupiers that have led us to where we are today. And, as the FBI and our partners have demonstrated, actions are not without consequences.
Containment road blocks are now in place around the Refuge. The disruption that the good people of Harney County have had to endure over the last few months will continue -- for now.

If the people at the refuge want to leave, they can do so through the checkpoints where they will be identified. If they have questions or concerns, they can call the negotiators at the number that has been provided to them.

As I conclude I want to share my promise to the people who live and work here -- who are raising their families here - that we will continue to look for safe, peaceful and productive ways to end this armed occupation. We recognize that the sooner we do that, the sooner the citizens of Harney County can start healing this community they cherish so much.

Thank you.


Also this:

quote:

The FBI and Oregon State Police have initiated a containment of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in order to better ensure the safety of community members and law enforcement. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution. We ask you to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the tip line at (541) 573-3162.

The containment procedure involves a series of checkpoints established along key routes into and out of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Attempts to Travel Into the Refuge
There will be signage ahead of each checkpoint. Anyone who moves beyond that signage will be stopped, identified and asked leave. Non-compliant people will be subject to arrest.

Leaving the Refuge
Anyone coming out of the refuge will have his or her identification confirmed and any associated vehicles searched.

Resident Ranchers Only
The only people allowed to pass into the checkpoints will be Harney County ranchers who own property in those specific areas. They will be required to show photo ID as they go in and out.

no official report, the narrative by sovcits is that he was surrendering peacefully (so that didn't happen)

the narrative by other sources is he tried to ram a barricade, crashed the car, and then rushed at cops yelling "shoot me"

Apparently he was running a road block (which turns his vehicle into a deadly weapon by every legal definition), then after he *crashed the car got out and ran at the cops yelling shoot me *while brandishing a gun.

The remaining occupiers have built some kind of dirt thing and are hanging out between their cars waiting for 100+ militia men to rescue them from the siege they are now under.

No one is coming.

They are also joking about how they are about to die on a fairly regular basis.

Also the word is (completely unconfirmed) that Ryan Bundy tried to resist and took a non life threatening round in his arm. It seems like the FBI was extremely focused on taking these guys alive if at all possible. According to one of the people at the scene there were two other people in tarpman's vehicle when he made his suicide run and neither of them were shot.

And this from the FBI's requirements for selection page:


Retired SEALs are coming alright.

That looks like a selection from the tactical recruitment program I looked at when I was getting out, its only a requirement for that.

Basically HRT has a program where people with tactical experience can get hired and be guaranteed a shot at HRT selection after short stint as a regular agent, normally you get to HRT by being a special agent for at least 5 years or some such and being nominated for selection by a supervisor.


The only reason there's a "requirement to be a seal" section is because it's the only type of experience they accept as valid from the Navy, I qualified just for being in the regular old infantry.
