And right on queue the family of the Detroit Imam who got in a gunfight with the FBI and was killed is calling for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. Who could have seen that coming? Islamic leader’s family urges investigation into his death - He was shot 18 times, they say

As Muslims prepare for a funeral today in Detroit for Islamic leader Luqman Ameen Abdullah, his family and a coalition of Muslim organizations are calling for an independent investigation into his death in a reported shootout with FBI agents in Dearborn.

Yada yada disproportionate response yada.. This is my favorite part of the story. They handcuffed him after shooting him 18 times (allegedly) and were more worried about trying to save the FBI dog than the Imam.

Omar Regan, 34, one of Abdullah’s sons, said his family was told by authorities that after he was shot 18 times, Abdullah was handcuffed and placed on a stretcher. He complained that the FBI airlifted a police dog that had been shot while no medical helicopter was brought in for his father.
