A January poll from this year showed that only 46% of Americans trust the FBI.

If you know history, you likely don't trust the FBI either.

It was the FBI that tried to blackmail MLK into committing suicide.

It was the FBI that illegally spied on Vietnam War protestors to threaten and blackmail them.

It was the FBI that infiltrated foreign governments, especially in Latin America to influence elections and policies.

It was the FBI that has assassinated foreign leaders allegedly even after it was made illegal by President Ford.

It is the FBI that has its main building named after corrupt J. Edgar Hoover.

Hoover routinely broke laws that he was sworn to protect, he even had FBI spies placed into the Supreme Court apparatus.


It is the FBI that helps meat out a two tiered justice system that 8 out of 10 Americans believe exists.

The FBI and CIA are the henchmen for the Federal Government.

Gotta love the hypocrisy on the right. We Back the Badge? Apparently it only applies to when "the badge" is shooting black children or busting libs' skulls. Be consistent. FBI is cops. Never trust the cops.

The FBI ran with it, the flimsy, fakey-fake info in the Steele-Dossier.

A cursory glance by a first year Agent would, in sane times, have gotten that junk tossed into the trash.

Any yeah, the FBI has been following that same path, "watching" Trump, the whole time. Oh yeah, not political at all, no way! ☺

It was the FBI who tricked Randy Weaver into sawing a few inches off a shotgun barrel so they could use it as a pretense to shoot his wife, son and dog

The problem is this:

1, Much of the time when you say cops are killing black kids, the left is lying and selectively ignoring facts in the cases that make the media. These leftist distortions lead to riots and less policing, which equals more black deaths as the murder rates rise. BLM?

Saying we should stick to facts for honesty and safety is not the same as saying local cops are infallible. Saying 99% of cops are good is not denying that the institution can reform itself.

2, I am not advocating ending the FBI, but reforming the FBI. Most agents are likely good people.

3, 69% of Americans trust local law enforcement, which does need reform, but just 46% trust the FBI, which needs major reform.


Do you deny that the FBI has a long history and pattern of corruption, law breaking, and are part of the reason 80% of Americans believe there is a two tiered justice system?

Under the original delegation of power, governments were instituted to secure rights - like defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
After infiltration by predators, it appears to have reversed itself, and now protects predators and persecutes victims - especially those that shoot back.
