US counter terrorism: FBI stings target the vulnerable

submitted by enoch

1 decade 4 months ago

its like minority report but only in real life and targeting the poor and mentally ill.
from y/t:
The US Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have targeted American Muslims in abusive counterterrorism "sting operations" based on religious and ethnic identity. Many of the more than 500 terrorism-related cases prosecuted in US federal courts since September 11, 2001 have alienated the very communities that can help prevent terrorist crimes.

Hopefully they got good lawyers that not only claimed inducement and coercion by the feds, but also sued them back for violation of civil rights.
I noted they didn't discuss what happened in the court cases, only the 'investigations'.

If you offer me 250K I might be willing to do just about anything even boom boom boom.

This kind of sting is just wrong.

It sucks that this video is edited and produced to look so illegitimate and conspiracy-theoretic, because that completely undermines any credibility to me.
I've heard about these pathetic FBI entrapment plans before, but the entire tone of this whole thing is even worse.

Mind you: I'm on the terrorists side here, and I can't stomach this production.
