There wasn't even one news clip that showed BLM officers NOT pointing their weapons at the Bundy property.

FBI Investigating Armed Bundy Supporters:

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Clark County sheriff’s officials say they’ve been interviewed by the FBI as part of an investigation into armed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.

Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo tells KLAS-TV that federal agents are looking into the conduct of people who reportedly pointed guns at officers during a standoff at Bundy’s ranch April 12.

Bundy supporters have denied pointing weapons at authorities and say that BLM rangers were the ones pointing guns.

A spokeswoman for the FBI in Las Vegas did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

Don't think LEO's pointing weapons is against the law. Now, the Bundy supporters on the other hand....

I know it's not but it should be. I've looked down the barrel of a 45 a couple of time over a tragic stop and I didn't like it one bit.

Common sense would dictate that if a law enforcement agent had a weapon drawn on someone who then drew his weapon on the law enforcement officer ..and there wasn't a bullet fired... One of two things occured..
The officer pulled the weapon in an effort to exercise a bluffed show of authority..In which case he should be removed from the force as ineffective.
Or..
The Leo realized he was in no danger and the whole incident was an effort to provoke the Bundy supporters.

I would guess the IRS will follow up also with those identified.

Oh I see. So it's fine for LE to point their weapons in a threatening manner but not for the lowly citizen to do so.

Gotcha.

For real when the BLM were pulling out. Bundy supporters were milling around and the BLM looked like they were filming a B rated Swat Movie.

If alot of those supporters had waited to get all the facts before jumping on the bus this whole thing might not have gotten out of hand.
We all have to live with the things we decide to do.
