AP Headline: FBI "Murdered" Detroit Imam
The Associated Press is letting its bias show in an article published late yesterday, "Murdered Imam's Followers Deny FBI Radical Claims". Murdered? Nothing in the article backs up this charge, even noting that Luqman Ameen Abdullah fired at the FBI when they attempted to arrest him on charges, killing a FBI K9 agent. His followers are complaining about the number of times Abdullah was hit.
Here's a hint: if you open fire on the FBI they are probably going to open fire on you. Two shots to center mass - that's what they're taught. They are probably going to have more guns than you and there's a good chance that you're going to die. This seems like a case of natural selection, but nothing remotely rising to "murder" on the part of the FBI. Shame on the AP.
