Shouldn't FBI be focused on ISIS not Michael Brown?

Holder and Obama are going to look really misguided if ISIS strikes America in a domestic attack while they are wasting their attention and manpower on racebaiting in Missouri instead of focusing on potential sleeper cells that ISIS might have here.

Do you really think the FBI is concentrating a significant portion of their manpower on the Michael Brown situation?

They're a terrorist organization that has repeatedly threatened the U.S. and killed an American and supposedly has another hostage.

You really don't know why?

A domestic investigative agency should not be looking into a foreign terrorist organization.

It's been widely reported that 40+ FBI agents are in Ferguson on the MB investigation.

Why not? Wasn't it the FBI that was called in to investigate the Benghazi mess?

A whole 40!!! No way!

The FBI has over 35,000 employees. In other words, around 0.11% of the FBI is on the case.

For this reason,I could see the FBI being involved. I was wrong with my previous post.

40 agents on the ground in Ferguson, who knows how many are tied up in DC and other places working on this case. FBI has different departments for civil rights/counter terrorism investigation, but for Holder to waste so much of his time on the Michael Brown case is incredibly partisan and is putting the national security of this country at risk.

Really? Is this really what you believe? I'm sure Holder took people off terrorist watch duty and shipped them to Ferguson.

When idiotic threads like this are born, it makes all of the right wing look terrible.

Yeah, no shite. This is one the dumber complaints I've seen recently on the poliboard. The FBI involvement in this case has zero bearing on their ability to address the ISIS situation. Anyone claiming otherwise is a blind partisan.

Quit being such a drama queen. Someone held up a cell phone photo and took a twitpic from Lafayette square

I've only seen tweets from supposed ISIS sympathizers re: Ferguson. No ISIS flags flown

At the very least it's a major distraction for the FBI at a time when we are at the highest risk of a terrorist attack in a long time. Will be interesting to see the reaction of liberals who said Bush was asleep at the wheel at 9/11 if America gets struck from ISIS in a major domestic attack. While there were warning signs missed in the leadup to 9/11, the threat buildup from ISIS is abundantly clear for anyone to see.

Freedom of Speech allows for idiots too.

I don't like Obama as much as the next guy, but if you think he's just twiddling his thumbs and telling the FBI to not do their job as far as nationwide terrorist hunting, I just don't know what to say.

No it doesn't. That's like saying that some of the crap that Tuba comes up with makes all left wingers look terrible.
