indeed, the vehicle plates, as reported by the former chief, were federal tags.  So what?  If the former chief's comments are accurate, the agents were rather "ham handed".  The could have, and in my opinion, should have simply said, "this is a National Armory and weapons are stored here.  We have been assessing the security of the facility."  Which, I'd guess is exactly what they were doing.  However, the key issue I addressed was the misquoting of the chief saying he'd commented that the FBI was impersonating "occupiers" and "stirring up trouble by doing so."  Those comments were NOT made by the former fire chief.
