It's interesting to me that you left a key line from your source article out, a quote that would have set the context and tone much differently. A quote that is literally the second paragraph. This quote is not found anywhere in your OP. Why?

"

"The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force. No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter," the FBI told Fox News in a statement Tuesday.


Newsweek thought the "deadly force" wording was newsworthy.

www.newsweek.com...

Several news outlets were surprised by it. Must not be "normal" wording for FBI raids of high-ranking officials.


That is great! Doesnt answer the question I asked an doesn't change the fact that something standard is trying to be made to look as unique to this event.


I've never read a search warrant before. If you say they all use the "deadly force" authorization, I have no choice but to believe you...or at least remain open to your belief.


Isn’t it implied by the fact they have guns?

"Deadly Force" authorized for the FBI when all they were doing was picking up some classified documents from an elderly former presidents home in a Florida resort? What ... they think Trump was packing heat and was going to shoot them when they showed up or something? All it would have taken was one left wing FBI guy with an itchy trigger finger and the left wouldn't have the Trump problem anymore. Probably what they were hoping for ....

I love the dichotomy.

Don't use deadly force against illegal aliens smuggling drugs, but a raid against a former president, use of deadly force is standard.

You want an established standard protocol to be amended for one person?



When that one person is a former president of the United States and the top political rival of the current president of the United States; it is only common sence to treat the situation differently than your standard operation. Why is that so hard for you to understand?


There wouldn’t have been a raid if Trump complied and gave back the documents.

Again, a lot of what has happened to him seems clear to be politically motivated. But I just don’t see how it’s weird that the FBI had standard procedures for a raid where they knew armed people would be.

Nothing happened, no one was shot, and Trump wasn’t there.

I don’t see how arguing that politicians should get special treatment under the law helps us citizens from the encroachment of rights they helped enact. They’re the ones who bolstered all the spying and enforcement laws. They’re the ones who cry about it when it gets used on them. And it’s typically the partisans who highlight these cases while ignoring these are the same politicians who made all this possible.

Trump's People were exclusevely told by that Archives Agency to store the boxes on site and wait. 😀

We already know people are ignoring the court reports that prove The FBI tainted evidence and likely planted evidence during the raid and when all the boxes were store unsecured in a Virginia warehouse before going to Mar a Lago 😬😬

So I guess if the FBI arrested George Floyd there would be no trial, right? This was a search warrant for documents. On a former POTUS.

This should honestly scare the # out of people, but it still does not. You want to argue he should have given them back. He was not in town. This SOP. BS. This never should have happened.

If you as an American have not woken up yet you are not going to. President who molested his daughter. State Legislatures letting men change with kids. Making sure military personal can transition and it is paid for. Deaths every day caused by illegals let over the border. Inflation making 75% of America live paycheck to paycheck.

Yeah. Mean tweets are the issue but he is even gagged from that. They took a former POTUS off of all Social Media platforms for a few years. They are silencing the truth and some of you just eat it up.

LOL A Florida resort, or a former US president's home?

Elderly? "Elderly" plays how here?

Again. Trump was in New York. The FBI knew that Trump wasn't at Mar a Lago.

Shaking my head at you guy's need for outrage over nothing.

Why? The outrage is set around the fact they brought guns they were ready to us to a former president's house. Do you think a former president's house isn't guarded by armed security guards when he's away?

Don't you think a Trump loyalist, at Mar a Lago at the time, might draw a weapon to protect Trump's stuff?

Why? Do you think a former POTUS is untouchable and above the law?

If a former POTUS was aiming a gun at your head, would you just take that bullet, because they used be president, or would you fire your gun first? Would it depend on whether that former POTUS was Biden or Trump?

I never said that. However, he is not threat at all and neither would anyone who was associated. Common Sense here Sook.

This was not a drug raid in the ghetto or the burbs. This was not an arrest for felony murder. It was a show.

Well what's this all about then???? . . . . .

FBI Agents Were Prepared for Secret Service Resistance at Mar-a-Lago: Documents


FBI agents executing a search warrant at former President Donald Trump’s home in 2022 prepared for the possibility U.S. Secret Service agents resisted the agents, according to newly unsealed court documents.

An operations plan for the raid of Mar-a-Lago in southern Florida stated that should President Trump arrive at Mar-a-Lago during the period when agents were there, FBI agents would be prepared to “engage with” him and U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agents who protect him.

If the Secret Service agents “provide resistance or interfere with FBI timeline or accesses,” then FBI officials would contact certain individuals—their names and positions were redacted—the documents stated.

LOL! No kidding! Did that just occur to you right now!

That didn't occur to when you first heard that armed FBI agents went to Mar a Lago with a search warrant?

Yup. I read this to. It is about sensationalism at this point. I mean, how could two Executive Body Organizations not coordinate?

Notice they do not state 'private security' but USSS. It is almost as if there is more of a Federal Government riff than is discussed.

This line.

And, as far as I know a weapon was never drawn.

Again, this was SOP for any FBI raid. There could have been a rogue private security guard, a rogue SS Trump loyalists or even a crazy guest running through the property wheeling a Samari Sword! The FBI came prepared, as is standard operating procedure.
