Are you ever not a fucking moron?Prove it, asshole.SOPWere they scared of the old reporterWhy? Two entirely different operations. One conducted by a SEAL team, the other by the FBI. What the FBI did with Stone was not out of the ordinary for them. You should try connecting with reality instead of memes. Can do you a world of good.Not necessarily a crime, but Stone's connections with the Russian hacker and WikiLeaks.

Ever???
"Commonplace"
Michael German, a former FBI special agent and now a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice, said Stone's comparisons to the other raids were "ridiculous" and that armed arrests of this nature seem to have become standard over the past 20 years.
"It's become much more commonplace to use either SWAT teams or tactically trained agents to do arrests across the board," German said.
Authorities must take many factors into consideration before they take someone into custody, he said. "They have the responsibility to not only protect their agents, but the public at large and even the person they are arresting. Often the way to do that is with overwhelming force that would tend to dissuade any resistance."
A number of other legal experts and former law enforcement officials also have responded over the past week, to say Stone's arrest was not out of the ordinary — especially in a case in which prosecutors say they feared Stone might have tried to flee or destroy evidence.
"Was the FBI's show of force too heavy-handed, as has been alleged? Absolutely not," wrote James Gagliano, a former FBI agent, in a column for the Washington Examiner.
"In the FBI, we tend to defuse situations by removing the fight-or-flight inclination, via our overwhelming presence. To arrest one, we bring 10. For 10, we'll bring 100," he also explained.
