CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I expect federal agents to act with the same level professionalism as our police.

Peacefully and lawfully express themselves as a large majority are doing in Minneapolis. Consider that after serveral weeks, and two murders by Federal agents, no federal officer has been seriously injured or killed.

Except they aren't doing that. They are agitating, harassing, obstructing and interferring with the agents. And they are now doing it with other citizens. They are a lunatic mob who are acting in ways that in one case at least where an agent reasonably believed he was in danger of at least serious bodily injury.
The other case the guy had a gun on him when he decided to interfere and appears to be reaching for it (even though it was no longer there), and was shot. There is some evidence that rhe gun that was removed may have discharged leading agents to believe the man had fired a gun. A VERY tragic set of events and circumstances. As more information and analysis is conducted we are finding that this shooting is not as clear cut as the left would have us believe. Which totally could have been avoided by Pretti had he stayed out of the agents business and left them alone. When you fight with them while carrying a gun it ups the chances something could go wrong.
I will say it again. Leave The agents ALONE.

Your police is who was doing an arrest when George Floyd died. So why the confidence in the police now?
I'm also amazed that people on the Left are suddenly advocating for the right to carry a gun. In the past, they were generally for banning guns, even the owning of them.

Gemini knows everything:
A consent decree is a legally binding settlement agreement between parties in a lawsuit, approved by a judge, that resolves the dispute without an admission of guilt or liability, often involving specific actions for compliance, monitoring, and reporting, common in cases involving government regulation or police reform. Essentially, it's a court order formalizing a negotiated deal, turning an agreement into enforceable law, frequently used in antitrust, environmental, and civil rights cases.
So, what is with the sudden renewal of confidence in local police when it was the local police who were involved in the George Floyd incident? Not to mention that you can go on Youtube and look at a multitude of videos where local police commit civil rights violations. I'm sure you're aware of those.

...and that police was tried, convicted and sitting in jail. Reforms were made.
You won't see any police force violently push a woman down and then assault, gang tackle and kill the man who comes to her aid.

Does it have to specifically be that scenario? I could go on Youtube all day long and watch body camera videos of far worse than that being done by local police. It happens far more often than you may think, but nobody here is complaining about that. Far more attractive to complain about a couple incidents involving Federal agents because it gives an opportunity to badmouth Trump.
