Local and state LEOs are so much worse much more often.
Oh god, here we go again.
I can't understand at all how conservatives have finally figured out the FBI and other similar agencies are not be trusted yet still have a complete mental block when it comes to cops.

The point is the massive power of the federal government makes it more of a threat.

Fit that into "sucking that big government dick', friend.
Yes, you regularly contradict yourself.

Thats literal waterhead territory.

Well, can you point to where you think it evens out then?
No because it's not a partisan issue. The Republicans arrested and prosecuted in response to losing the 2020 election are an insanely small % of the combined population of the 2.
This isn't a zero-sum scenario, and if it were, we'd need thousands more Patriots arrested/prosecuted to even it out.

Only to people who rely on terrible "assumptions" or who can't read.
Which are you?

I don't agree with that. Misused and abused, yes. Politicized by one political party? I don't see that.
Cops deserve exactly the same level of trust these FBI agents got.
And don't get too comfortable about them not being misused by one party. That's just cause they're spread out with widely varied leadership. But make no mistake. They are just as corruptable if not moreso.

My local PD ends at the city limits.
Its tiny and responsive to our local laws.
Is the FBI responsive to all of your local laws?

Rog when did the Constitution stop applying to local/state LEO?

That’s a blanket statement that’s not meaningful.

they understand it, at least the theory of it, but only when it applies to someone in their perceived in group.
2 of the major Trump prosecutions, and the recent admin action, are all state actions, not federal ones. They complain about those all the time.

Its fricking retarded.
The FBI has powers local LEO will never have. State and local LE are independent, not collective.

It is when you try to paint the smaller, less significant group as more powerful/dangerous. Perhaps you'd like to revise your earlier arguments?

That still doesn't mean cops are any better .They just have less reach.

The home has to be occupied by one of those people that Wray says is an imminent threat that worries him. When another terrorist attack occurs from the hostile foreign invaders, the FBI is going to come knocking asking blaming citizens for inciting the terrorist.

I don’t think that’s accurate. That’s a straw man you created.
I think they view the fbi as politically biased. They view the fbi as more if a threat.
