yes, they did.
Leaking it to cnn was pretty low.
NO!
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOÔÖÒOÓ
Bullshit
MilesParks - Your short answer and long answer seem to contradict each other.
theyprotectusfromtheswamp
Yeah right, use excessive force, are you people crazy.
Roger Stone like Nixon is not guilty!
Oh please. Did the FBI use unusual force when they arrested Roger Stone. Well that’s straight out of the mouth of Trump since he’s so ungrateful to the FBI. I wish his own security detail could quit. That family deserves NO security. Most ungrateful people in the States.
How come nobody is asking how CNN was somehow informed
NO! I stand with the FBI! They were doing their jobs while not being paid, the exact opposite of Lindsey Graham!!!
Fact Check: Is NPR increasingly spouting biased tripe? Short answer: Sure looks like it.
Nope.
Long answer: FUCK NO!
Of COURSE We know what NPR will say!
npr
Yes
Your take, sengraham2016, don’t be like your disgusting boss, since you can’t beat his record!
Poor Baby Stone. Awwwwwww! Sooooo abused! 💩
When can we get an article on Roger Stone's role in Citizens United?
No.
The old white guy got what is common place for non-whites. Get over it. He got the treatment he earned.
I'd venture to say Nazi Propaganda Radio (NPR) said the same about Hitler's tactics back in the day.
Yes
So is the long answer yes?
NO! It’s just a damn shame excessive force was not authorized!
Short answer: If stone was black every Magat would be playing the “blue lives matter” and “they were just doing their job” card. Laws are laws, and we are a nation of laws .....remember?💥
Government subsidized “Fake News” is at it again. No news about France in flames or Venezuela imploding under Ocasio-Cortez socialism but plenty of cover for deep state FIB (Federal Investigation Bureau).
Why should you be believed? You are hardly impartial.
Funny, but NPR didn’t go on & on for 4-5 days after each innocent black youth gets shot.
FBI did Not Mistreat him . They treated him as the common criminal he is, no matter what that clown or his clown frienemy in the WH say.
i don't care There is noth ing we can do about it As for whatshisname, the pres. a bullet in the head would be what the FBI could use their unusual force to our advantage
Fuck no.
The long answer is HELL NO!
Short answer is yes.
Oh so sad! Poor Roger Stone. Let me get my violin.
They’re all big hypocrites and cry babies 😭
Yes they did. They looked like war mongrels.
Ridiculously biased msm headline to coverup yet another OBVIOUS error
Yes. Your so called fact check is poorly disguised propaganda
This is just more criminals supporting the trump mafia! The FBI has procedures based on the situation and stone deserves appropriate treatment!
Long answer: it literally doesn’t matter because an enemy to the nation was captured and is now being appropriately charged.
Ofcourse they used excessive violence, they are pooing themselves, afraid of an old couple
Of course it did but your Dem talking points won't allow you to say it. Where's your story on Matt House? Early investigation of Northrum? Oh wait you were busy falsely smearing Kavanaugh and his family. worstjournalistever hidesbehindifthistrue
So dragging his wife out on the street in her sleeping gown is acceptable force?
Your kidding? Off course they did!
That’s what criminals get, he deserves it. Did you want the bishop to be sent to arrest him. The is a traitor, a Russian agent!!!!
BruceFreeburger Depends. Did the FBI knock on the door with their hands or with a sledgehammer?
For starters that’s how the rest of us get arrested, maybe it strange for the rich and powerful, but that’s what we ordinary people suffer regularly. No tears for mr stone
Imagecaptured Good try short answer, you’re ridicules. What a show brought to us by the left. It reminded me of the final scenes in Scarface.
Since when does the FBI treat suspected criminals with kid gloves? Being best friends with Trump doesn’t make you above the law!
NPR propaganda again. Yes. They used unusual, and excessive force just for show. That is why CNN was brought in. For their propaganda purposes, which you are now spreading.
CommRead Absolutely not - the guy is crackers - who knows what he’s capable of doing
No.
The FBI may have seen photos like this of Roger Stone TRAINING WITH ASSAULT RIFLES. They may have decided better safe then sorry.
YOU ARE WRONG NPR!! Stop Spreading Incorrect Propaganda. Roger Stone had 27 SWAT forces at his home pointing Rifles at him. It’s typical Gestapo Bob + Weissman Nazi SS Guerilla Tactics!!! 😡
FBI did every thing by the book. Please don't blame them or Mueller.
The Man in the High Castle PKD ( claiming he was getting a beatific vision of future) would be Nixonish type character Drezden DC, wall but through the middle, half to EU half to Asia, just like Germany after WWII
Indeed they did !!! Most outrageous phony dramatic apprehension that they could have done! Add that to how they’ve disgraced their one time great agency! Full of political corruption.
Who cares?
Roger Stone did everything wrong and it wasn't unusual force. This is what happens when they arrest criminals. When apprehending someone with mental issues this is what they need to do to be safe.
They did
oh hellz yes it did. an unnecessary complement of manpower and vehicles. meant to makr a point
Nobody was hurt. Say that when the victim is black.
No
Roger got special treatment, all right. He should never have been granted bail.
The FBI showed up for the cameras. They tipped off CNN (obviously the leaks are coming from the fbi) and then put on a show. NPR is so dishonest it’s obvious that they also have an agenda.
I’ll say it was unnecessary. They could have had a couple of agents knock on the door and take him into custody if they didn’t want to just ask him to turn himself in. Just seems to be a waste of manpower.
Yet had the arrest been of an opponent, praise would have been given.
Hollywood collar
If they had inflicted a heavily armed, pre-dawn swarm on any 60-something non-violent, no-flight-risk subject that wasn't allied to Trump, would have been screaming about police abuse. Just the usual hypocrisy.
No.
FBI using Hollywood type tactics, for colluding News cameras of CNN. Sounds like Mueller was using CNN, & owed CNN a favor why they was there prior to raid. Alot of illegal activities by investigators going on. Haven’t learned since getting illegal FISA warrents with lies.
Do police use excessive and unreasonable force on everyday citizens not in the spotlight? Yes! Police brutality isn’t anything new...
Only old white men demand that police contact their lawyer before they are arrested
So sue the Federal government... what do you want to happen?
Wow, if Stone were Black, no o e, NO ONE would be asking these questions. Perhaps THAT'S the angle for your story...
The fact that CNN was embedded with the strike team shows that this was nothing less than pure theater.
Not even a little bit.
Of course it's standard. Since 9/11, we've militarized our law enforcement and taken it for granted - as long as it's being used against 'someone else'. Just look at ICE. Now that it's an 'old white man', it's suddenly an issue. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.
If we really believe this than the process needs to be reviewed - for better use of resources and cost savings - hard to believe this was a good use of limited resources especially during the shutdown
I would be cool if actually put a statistic in this fact check. Is it true that the FBI does pre dawn raids...no kidding it is. The question is 'Did the FBI target him to send a message or to strong arm' Process crimes are not treated like this. Police state tyrants!!
'closest confidants' whaaat? You guys are so pathetic. NoPossiblyReal. Liberal biased radio. NobodyPossiblyRational.
Really? KGB tactics!
As we all know, Roger is a known terrorist, suspected of being the mas
Sort of looks like tactics the germans used during hitler
Despite the FBI’s denials no rational person would believe the show of force was necessary and no honest person believes CNN wasn’t informed ahead of time.
Not according to SPANKY! Remember when he told the police, NOT TO BE TOO NICE!
What kind of stupid question is this? He lied to Congress and the FBI dragged him out of his house like he was a fugitive from justice. Mueller is a douche.
No
Fake news. Fact check was biased. Here’s an updated version of headline for your convenience; Did the FBI use unusual force when it arrested one of Trump’s closest confidants, Roger Stone? The short answer: No, according to left wing anti Trump advocacy groups RealJamesWoods
Yes
It was a blatant publicity stunt. There's no reason to suspect that he wouldn't have turned himself in with a simple telephone call. Hillary and the dems got immunities, softball interviews, and preemptive exonerations. Pubs get secret warrants, raids, and arrests. Is that fair?
Nope
Many a black person could have told you this, but I suppose you had to hear it for yourself. Btw, America is really racist, from 45 down to its core, but I suppose you will have to research it to (maybe) believe it.
No!
No they didn’t abuse their power. Page 20 indicates Stone threatened the life of a witness. They also feared he’d destroy evidence and he is a proven liar. The man is a crook, the manpower was appropriate. He’s not dead, wasn’t roughed up. His dogs will survive the “trauma”
Lol that’s not a fact check. And how did Fake News CNN know about it?
People still crying over this dude? Sure. He posted videos with him shooting guns, threatens civil war? Shut up.
Npr is wrong because even though stone is a bs'er he's done nothing compared to the career politicians & bureaucrats that are the true criminals that plague Washington dc. It's like arresting a guy for jaywalking while bank robbers in the background go free.
The FBI tipped off CNN beforehand which is unusual.
Oh, WHEW!!! Thabks NPR!!! I wasn’t sure if 29 heavily armed agents raiding an old mans house at pre dawn hours for “process violation crimes” with CNN there at the ready to capture the exciting moment was excessive. Thanks for clearing it up for me that this is just FBI SOP.
He didn't look too traumatized in all of those interviews. He wasn't hurt and they followed SOP. The drama queen needs to suck it up and realize that he won't get special treatment for being rich. Plus, he walked out of court w/o even posting bail!
Is the FBI a corrupt joke? Short answer: Yes
The answer is YES, and NPR is predictably supporting these goose stepping thugs.
The FBI is not always right. Look at the Oregon case with the FBI and The Oregon State Police. That was a law enforcement Murder and they are now going to be paying for it with big bucks, but someone still lost a father, a husband, a brother.
All the FBI had to do was bring him in for questioning, no raid, no CNN waiting to break a story!
Riiight...because its normal to send an armed platoon after an elderly man and drag his wife outside in her night gown in the middle of the night when neither of them are dangerous...
They sent more people there to get him for a non violent crime then was sent to get Bin Laden.
Hmmmm...... let's see...... Did the FBI use unusual force with Elian Gonzalez back in the day?
😂😂😂🤦♂️
🙄 Really?
ManMet80 I'm sure the MAGAts will be crying foul when we come for POTUS45 saying we put the cuffs on him too tight. EndTrump EndGOP
so raiding,in the cover of darkness,a mans home who has willingly worked with intel agencies and inquiries in the past for his desire to find dirt on a political opponents? wouldn't it have been cheaper for tax payers and safer for police to allow him to surrender?
Are ppl like Lindsay Graham trying to distract from the content and reason for the arrest? Short answer: Yes
Of course not, but the people who would benefit from this message, do not get their news from NPR.
“Not unusual?” That’s laughable.
yet you all complain when a colored thug is roughed up on the street.
Cops use excessive force *all* the time. This time they have an excuse. Also, they didn't rough him up so.
Is Roger Stone still alive? [Asking for every unarmed person murdered by the police and those carrying white cellphones as well.] If so, then the answer is simple.
Anyone who’s been in a raid knows that they nearly always happen at the worst time: when you’re sleeping or just getting to bed or just waking up. This is to cause fear while you’re exhausted, and makes you less likely to react violently.
Goebbels media defundnpr
The long answer is: Of course not, how stupid and brainwashed would you have to be to think that? I mean, what the hell is wrong with you? Were your parents siblings? Have you ever had a rational thought in your life?
But did he die?
Short answer. Yes.
If you don't like the way the FBI arrests people my advice is to not engage in criminal activity.
They should have used more.
NPR, you are comprised. Go home.
FBI, the new gestapo
Wow. It is possible for you to erite clear and specific tweets and headlines. Can you do this more often.
“SOP”! The FBI does what it does and Roger Rabbit Stone is no exception! The nerve of these “crooks”.
Roger Stone posted terrorism training videos on the internet.
