Perhaps the most extraordinary law enforcement killing of the decade was an FBI agent shooting dead Chechen “refugee” Ibrahim Todashev on May 22, 2013 just as Todashev was purportedly about to write out a confession that he and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokar Tsarnaev had ritually murdered three Americans in Waltham, MA on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.
