> you know what FBI stands for? Famous But Incompetent
LEOs don’t refer to them as that for nothing. So many are spoon-fed and handpicked because of politics but that seems to be decreasing, however coming from a family of wealth sure doesn’t decrease your chances of getting hired by a long shot...: )
I know several former agents and a few active agents that seem to be pretty decent guys but I have seen some of the snot nosed brats with chips on their shoulder agents too.
The former and few active agents are just that, few. They started out locking people up and kicking in doors. Now, with all the PC crap they have to deal with. And the desire for a more diverse work force being more important than getting people that know how to do the job, IE Napolitano, burns them out. They’re just tired of the BS.
Anyone on here, as you seem, that has worked with the feds knows all too well what we’re talking about.
State Dept, DSS agents that don’t want to carry guns.
The head of the DEA that was unable to answer basic questions about drugs during a Congressional hearing.
The DEA spending more time on ‘pain management clinics’ than the meth coming across the border from Mexico.
FBI agents can’t even learn about muslim terrorists.
The list could go on for days
After a while, even the hardest charger gets burned out. And then they get run out by the young, backstabbing weasels that get hired. Who’ve never been told no, once in their lives.
Alot of that is to blame on guys like JE Hoover and his desire to hire guys like him, instead of street cops.
Oh well.
