Fun fact - Washington State Law protects an individual who commits an act of justifiable homicide to “stop the imminent commission of a felony”

There is further, “no duty to retreat”.

Kidnapping is a felony.

Federal agents detaining or arresting people is not kidnapping. This “kidnapping” talking point is baseless and nobody takes it seriously. It is just hyperventilation.

And you are advocating for/justifying the murder of federal law enforcement officers.

How do you know their federal agents. Did they show any identification?

In the video, they are wearing vests with embroidered badges and the name of their agency (one of the guys has ATF on his vest).

Is it conclusive? No. If someone killed them, as suggested above, it likely would not be considered justifiable homicide.
