The Federal Bureau of Investigation committed suicide this week.
All pretense of integrity, impartiality, objectivity and morality disappeared in the last 72 hours.
It is now an agency which foments sedition and aids and abets domestic terrorism.

Indeed. And it is not restricted to the FBI. So, you are quite right, it should scare the crap out of all of us.
It has scared the crap out of many many people for many many years. COINTEL PRO being an example that always springs to mind. The FBI's "actions" during the McCarthy period being another shining example.
Police that operate from the shadows are always a menace. Their accountability is limited, if it exists at all. Their tactics are based on deception and lies. So, when they become the enforcement arm of an ideology, it is time to really be scared.
