      I think you should come and see how things run here in Finland. What takes months/years to happen there gets done smoothly in a day or two in here. During my 35 years of life there has been two crimes where an officer has died in this country. The first one was back in 97 and the guy (Steen Christensen, who came here from Denmark while he escaped during his 24h vecation from the prison) got cought in three days and the second one happened in 2016 and was solved right away. We just dont have any serialkillers etc. or shootings at the police because our laws dont operate like that a person X could get 20yrs. for selling an amount of drugs that fit in a teaspoon - so why shoot at the officer?

    The guy was probably already staking out the gas station before the FBI even got there. After all he knew Nadine was working with them. When he changed the rendezvous point it was intentional so that he could be sure to be the first one in place and could watch the police arrive. He even knew where they were most likely to position themselves. He was stalking them, not vice-versa.

      Mourad Ikhlef I truly believe when the police came with his lights on and blew up that spot that the whole sting should have been aborted, they knew at that time that he called his ex-girlfriend and said he didn’t see her. At that point they knew he was watching from a distance which put all of them in a bad position. They should have had a massive amount backup on the ready to set up a big perimeter around the outskirts of the gas station. Not to mention they should have been in groups of two so one man could be on surveillance for the station while his partner keeps look out of any one sneaking up on them.

    People need to realize that these are re-enactments. When you see a car in the re-enactment, it doesn't mean that is exactly where it was parked by the cops. When you see a cop with binoculars in a re-enactment, it doesn't mean that's exactly where that cop stood, or how the cop actually surveyed the scene. When you see a bridge and water below, it doesn't mean that's the actual bridge that a victim was thrown off of. These are RE-ENACTMENTS, people!
    Because of camera angles, you're not going to have the re-enactment look exactly like it was. Because of things that don't have to be told to the public, you're not going to know exactly how these agents do everything. You'll get the re-enactment version just to watch while you listen to the story. Video after video, someone in the comments has to spew a bunch of "I'm so clever" BS, because they can't seem to understand that these are re-enactments!

      Due to various reasons -
      Most likely there wasn’t enough time as the meeting location kept changing.
      Back in the days, communication amongst different law enforcement departments wasn’t as smooth due to different procedures and communication technologies.
      The perp was known to listen in on police chatter. Informing local pd would have given him away.
      Also the agent thought he did good job hiding, but clearly not since a local cop found him.
      Overall poor policing - from the first time he outran cops from the cab to the dead agent’s blunder.

      They handled him so poorly- mistakes after mistakes-he was there earlier then them - they didn’t have an undercover around there !! Just dressy up as workers or have offices to know so you don’t call for backup after shooting- when officer out of blue comes there the cover was gone - and he only went after him
      They didn’t learn from their mistakes, when they find out who he was they kept a secret and put officers in the risk - public & offices had to know who he was then he could be catch faster. The taxi driver single hand did a good job - right there they lost him .

So this are not only happened in USA but this SOP also applied to other countries around the world. Because they did not want the classified information been leaked out. So for the FBI, they take their own risk. And the risk was the lost of agent christian.

    An excellent episode. You can feel the closeness and the pain of the ‘brotherhood” (of those men in blue).

      Brotherhood of fuckin criminals. That's all #pigs are. Fuckin degenerates who never had friends growing up. When they became adults they figured out the best way to get back at folks who actually had friends. Become a #pig & dig into peoples wallets. Just revenue generators for the government. Take away the badge & gun and they are nothing more than a coward. I used to believe the propaganda that just a few were bad. Fuck that, it's more like 50/50. #Pigs ain't nothing more than a violent gang. Probably the most violent gang in the history of the world. That's what the blue line flag represents. Never ceases to amaze me how everybody is like don't disrespect the flag. Don't kneel during the flying of the colors. And definitely don't burn it or walk on it. But those same fucks are OK when the cops desecrate the American flag. #FuckthePolice

    This series is really good.. I hope the American people can appreciate the work and dedication of law enforcement. Some of us have it rough out here, last time we reported a house break in the officer asked if we had seen or heard anything and we told him "no". He shrugged his shoulders and said, "well there's nothing we can do, we are not the FBI". They didnt even come over to investigate.. the most they do all day is sign affidavits, certify copies and accept bribes.

      Our country is worse there are policemen who give plans for theft and take a share , when u go for registering a complaint you have to give bribes and buy them cigarettes and food , in some instances you have to spend more money then the value of the thing you have lost . It's shame to our countries government 😂😂😂😂

    I admire the courage of the taxi/ cab driver. However, I think the planning and execution to hold the killer was flawed. The detetives should have made his girlfriend call the shots for a more convenient location to prevent any further lost of life among the constabulary. My heart goes out to the families of the murdered officers especially the last one who was scheduled to retire
