I'd prefer to see the medical examiner's determination before I make mine.
I understand that many posts, links, and analysis relevant to this event have not been promulgated and approved by the Federal powers to be, however, to discredit one without providing an substantive alternative does great disservice not only to the fallen, but to the citizens who are genuinely concerned about this.
in addition, this creates and propels further the distrust that so many have in the Feds.
I've spent 6 years in the war zone. I've seen combat operations, hostage situations, prisoner exchanges, dirty deals, clean deals, no deals etc. Stuff can get blurry quickly, I get it.
I have also seen SOP's for FF/EMT responses, contingency planning, public relation and legal dealings to name few. I know these can be very specific and very impractical at times, I get it.
As someone who has supported LE on all fronts, with family and friends in LE and military, as someone who loves this country and who wants to see us lift from this cloud of distrust created by this administration, I want to believe that my government officials did not act like mobsters here, to that extent, I and so many others, need people who are close and personal to the "inside" to offer a realistic, pragmatic opinion as to what the heck happened here.
I'm not alone on this. As stated earlier, every LE contact I have echoed that something isn't right here. We can start dissecting line by line the litany of discrepancies that We the People have been fed, but it appears that there is no interest in that (NOT isolating you or anyone else on here, but in general, propaganda is to hush it).
I get the caution flag for preemptive speculation, but, not discussing this at all feeds into distrust more each day.
Do you or anyone in this country want to live in a place where political dissidents are nixed like that? Could be me next, could be you, my children or yours... It's a rhetorical question.
I respect (as stated earlier) your service, and of course, I do not wish to jeopardize your pension over you expressing your opinion on this matter one way or another.
Just wanted to be clear that I am not just blowing hot air on here.
