There has been considerable discussion about the ridiculously over-aggressive manner in which the FBI conducted the arrest of 67-year-old Roger Stone. Now video is surfacing showing just how over-the-top it was. [CBS 12 Footage Here]

Multiple heavily armed members of law enforcement and FBI are seen on CCTV video knocking on the door of the Stone residence and positioning themselves such that Mr. Stone was staring down the barrel of multiple rifles when he opened the door.

Those "agents" should be ashamed of themselves

Disgraceful

I've seen less LE presence serving warrants to violent criminals on Live PD. That was nothing but a political stunt.

Abuse of power overkill. I say they do the same thing to the Clinton compound.

Well no shite. There's a reason why CNN was there to film it.

I don't blame them for following orders. Who knows what they were told if anything about the target. Besides...pretty darn risky entering a home unnanounced... i would think it's probably wise to wear tactical gear in case a surprised homeowner while cleaning gun decides, not today intruders!

You notice that the story about CNN being tipped in advance has completely disappeared. Apparently no one in the media has the slightest curiosity about this.

I’m dead serious when I say that his arrest, though smaller in scale, was as frightening and as much a canary in the mine as Waco and Ruby Ridge.

This wasn’t an arrest, it was a flex that was intended to show the power of the federal government as a means of intimidation.

The whole Mueller investigation has been a flex of power to anyone who currently works for Trump or will work for Trump in the future.

That's probably the most least aggressive armed raid I've ever seen.

I think the whole thing stinks. But what are the agents to do when entering a home for a raid? Wear party hats for protection and nerf guns? They raided an indian casino a few years back where I live.... guess what they were wearing!!!

This may be a stupid question but don't they know ahead of time who they are going after and wouldn't they know who Roger Stone is; a 60 some YO man who has no violence in his background. And then to make his older deaf wife stand out in the street barefoot in her nightgown.

What a bunch of A- wipe thugs. Not one lick of integrity. Kind of like what happened at Ruby Ridge, Waco and the Elian Gonzalez events.

The FBI needs to be demolished as well as a few other 3 letter agencies. Frick every one of them.

Actually a good question that I'd prefer answered before I crucify someones reputation like a leftist democrat.
