FBI True

After watching this all the stories missed key details that put the FBI in a bad light just so that they looked like they did the right thing. For the Ruby Ridge one they made it sound like all the FBI agents were all heroes. They totally skipped the part that they charges where are a setup by the same FBI agents just so that they could arrest the group. They failed to point out that Vickie Weaver was holding her 10 month old daughter and was not a threat when one of the FBI snipers shot her in the head. They said he son pointed a gun at him which when it went to court proved to be false.

For the Atlanta Olympic bombing they totally glossed over the fact that they the FBI ruined Richard Jewell's life because he was the security guard that found one of the bombs and reported it and was more than happy to give them any info he could about what happened that day. Instead of treating him like a witness they treated him as he was the one that actually did the bombing and ruin his life. This was never once brought up in this propaganda for the FBI that this show is.

And those are just two of the stories that I hit all. All the other ones are fully of the same propaganda and not the full stories of what actually happened. Simple historical research will prove all this.

A whole lot of justifying to exonerate oversteps of the law. The branch davidvian story still sets wrong with alot of America , a shady search warrant, leads to stand off and eventual mass killing because Government would not change there narrative. This was one of the first nationwide, televised by the media day by day that captured the publics sympathy. IT made a lot of us look at what is sacred, are our homes s!fe from Government control. Are we nothing, do we have no real rights? Can the government produce a warrent on suspicion without real proof, burst into your house on hearsay? No in retrospect Janet Reno and company fouled up with no admission of wrong and it is further justified by these characters with there self pity.

Just the usual propaganda tales from the FBI. Nothing new or interesting if you already know about this stuff.

Not bad to watch if you are interested in the sick justifications that the FBI uses to do what they do.

Even these stories, sanitized by the FBI, still show why The FBI should be abolished entirely. It's the most corrupt, sinister, and tyrannical government agency ever created.

Maybe if they just stuck with missing persons, then people might think they are ok, but no one likes the FBI except for corrupt Presidents like Biden and Obama. When the FBI shows up at your door, you know they aren't there to help you; even cops don't like the FBI.

"FBI True Documentary" casts the FBI as the paragon of justice, but this portrayal might be an attempt to shift focus from the agency's contentious actions. Here's a brief review alongside some examples of alleged FBI misconduct:

The Steele Dossier: The FBI used this dossier, filled with unverified claims about Trump, to justify surveillance on Carter Page. The DOJ's Inspector General later criticized the process, pointing to potential bias.

Clinton Email Investigation: The FBI's decision not to charge Hillary Clinton over her email server use has been seen by some as preferential treatment, questioning the agency's impartiality.

Epstein Case Handling: The FBI's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has faced scrutiny for possibly not pursuing connections to influential figures as aggressively as might be expected.

Use of Informants: The FBI's tactics in cases like the Michigan Governor kidnapping plot have led to accusations of entrapment, where the FBI might be seen as manufacturing crimes.

Historical Context: COINTELPRO's legacy reminds us of the FBI's past in overstepping legal and ethical boundaries.

"FBI True Documentary" offers a sanitized view, potentially serving as a counter-narrative to these controversies, which raises questions about the documentary's role in shaping public perception of the FBI.

I realize my opinion is based on a weirdly technical thing, but it seems amateur or overlooked, to me. The interviews with FBI agents look washed out, like they were shot using low-contrast-a common method to leave room for later color grading-but they didn't color grade that footage.

The actual content of the show is good and entertaining. It's pretty cool to get the stories from the agents who were on scene. I do wish the show had episodes that would critique other drama shows and how they depict the FBI. Maybe that would be something for some other show entirely.

I'm really not sure if this show is even connected to the other FBI series by Dick Wolf.
