They as in a number of federal employees responsible, often hated.

I don't blame all of them, but the feds themselves set the standard of blaming the whole organization for violence eg rico act. It is hard to blame haters when they apply the principles used by government to prosecute them.

Uhh . . . what? The entire point of RICO is to prosecute organizations that are literally arranged for criminal purposes. It was designed to go after the mafia dons who gave the orders to kill people and do gangland stuff, but then had a bunch of henchmen to do the dirty work.

There's not just RICO, conspiracy and stuff like felony murder all put the whole organization who make violence happen on the chopping block.

Of course this organizational blame is enough to put citizens in a cage but by God the citizens ought not hate government employees for their organizations use of a little extrajudicial violence.
