Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
It has been revealed through unsealed filings in Donald Trump’s classified documents case brought by Jack Smith that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force if needed in its raid of Mar-a-Lago.
The filing, published by journalist Julie Kelly, revealed the procedure if the FBI had encountered dangerous individuals during the raid.
Newsflash darling: if they have guns and a badge, they are always authorized to use deadly force. The excuse will be forthcoming later.

Agents of the State are authorized to use deadly force for traffic enforcement.
Or, you know, whenever.
(Well, not really. But these days there doesn’t seem to be a lot of consequences, or even serious investigation, when it happens
)
Just listening to Dan Bongino talk about this.
Secret Service PPD are the bosses over even non-PPD agents. never mind FBI agents. PPD have the only guns in a protected space.
(I remember Dan noting that when the president (whoever) has uniformed officers behind him for a photo op, none of them have any ammo.
He played Comey saying that, rather than work things out with the Service, they just did the usual raid (like on drug dealers).
What a Statist.
An interesting question posed elsewhere, what might have happened if Trump and his Secret Service PPD had been on-site at Mar-a-Lago when the FBI stormed the place with weapons drawn and deadly-force authorization? What if the FBI had not notified the Secret Service before raiding the property and just shown up armed for a no-knock raid?

There’s enough “Fauxnly Ones” activity out there (in which criminal invaders dress and pretend to be law enforcement) that the Secret Service could — and probably would — be forgiven for any “friendly fire” incidents. Can’t be too careful, after all.
@Archer: So much potential for things to go south.
