Unless further restricted by DHS Component policy, DHS LEOs are permitted to use force to control subjects in the course of their official duties as authorized by law, and in defense of themselves and others. In doing so, a LEO shall use only the force that is objectively reasonable in light of the facts and circumstances confronting him or her at the time force is applied.
Law enforcement officers and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.
you have a point, but it seems weird that would authorize lethal force in such a scenario...as if they expected Big Don to sick the Secret service on the FBI or something... granted they got it wrong, because they understand anyone outside of their coastal bubbles about as well as a cricket understands nuclear physics, but the fact that they were willing to take that risk for the sake of a glorified publicity stunt is just...evil
This was a soft warrant service from the get go. It was strange to include that in the narrative of rhe warrant service plan. We always did our risk assessments and mitigation but we never needed it stated because deadly force is implied IF a deadly threat presents itself. They had secret service liaison and no overt threat against the warrant service. So I think they wanted to make it look like trump was hostile. This back fired on them big time and they look stupid asbhell for it. The FBI should be divided over this it makes them look absolutely horrible and perhaps that's thebintent.

The authorization to use Force in the FBI or in any other federal agency where they give you a club to do your job is about the LIMITS on when you are authorized to use deadly force.
It basically the lawyers in the FBi reminding the guys going out into the field with the guns you can only use these if there is an immenient threat of harm.
Trump had two lawyers at Mar a Lago during the search. There were no complaints of violence at the time.
How was this a potential firefight? The Secret Service were notified the FBI was going do a search of Mar a Lago that day
Both the FBI and the Secret Service basically have the same Use of Force standard.

Both are trained in de-escalation tactics.

He was not there. He was in NY.
