This is not a cop bashing thread, please don't twist it.
I've been lurking for a while so I apologize if this is a repost. I have a number of really good friends involved with Federal law enforcement and while being good drinkers and they are also total professionals. As a pilot, I also know the media can blow things out of proportion to create a story. That being said, what the hell is going on with Federal Law Enforcement Agencies?! First of all of the issues with a few agents from the Secret Service leading to another leadership change. This combined with the security breeches doesn't seem to create a high level of confidence given the tax dollars spent on this detail. Now we have the DEA and U.S. Marshals being caught up in scandals based on professionalism? The DEA mess seems to be pretty serious when your turned in by the guys your investigating. 2-10 day suspensions for cohorting with cartel prostitutes and taking gifts from their bosses and you get a 2-10 day suspension? What the hell does it take to get fired from one of these places? I think we need to bring in a certain member to clean house at a couple of these agencies. Again, this is not a cop bashing thread so if your going there ....leave. I am just seriously curious what it takes to get fired from one of these places and what type of oversight is going on.
