‘Bureaucrats With Berettas’

‘Federal departments from the USDA to Education are starting to arm their inspectors general for law enforcement.
It’s a morning Kenneth Wright will never forget: 15 armed agents break in his front door and grab him by the neck, still in the boxer shorts he slept in. For six hours, a handcuffed Wright sat in a cruiser parked outside with his three children, ages 3, 7, and 11, while agents searched his house.
“They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatizing my kids,” the Stockton, Calif., resident told a local news outlet at the time.
Drugs? Weapons? Domestic violence? No. As Wright later found out, his gun-toting visitors were from the Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General (OIG). What the neighbors mistook as a S.W.A.T. team raid was really the execution of a search warrant in a student loan fraud case involving Wright’s wife, who wasn’t even there at the time.
“They busted down my door for this,” he exclaimed, “it wasn’t even me.”…’
Should there be an uprising, assholes such as these need to be close to the top of the target list.

    HUH :?:

    This is wrong in so many ways :!:

    It looks like to me the education-rats should be charged with numerous felonies to include: kidnapping, reckless endangerment, armed trespassing, and this just off the top my head.

    I’m sure any junior grade District Attorney could come up several more serious crimes.

    Anyhow, that’s enough for a life sentence without parole: “BOOK’em Dan’l – practicing law enforcement without a badge. :!:

      The problem is, Ronbo, bureaucrats routinely operate outside the law, via regulations. And they’re practically untouchable.

        KG:

        I could tell you insider stories about bureaucrats – I spent three years at Ft. Meade, Maryland – which only ten north of Washington, D.C. – working for the NSA while on active duty in the Army Intelligence.

        The NSA had rule about the military – there were personnel from all branches there to include the Marines – that no more than three service members could work in the same office.

        I asked the ELINT branch manager, Bud Wire, (a.k.a. “Hot Wire” because he we G.I.s never produced intelligence product fast enough for him) about that rule and he said – and I kid you not –

        “Someone has to do the work. We can’t fire a bureaucrat for not doing anything, but with you military guys all I have to do is pick up the phone and talk to your C.O.s to get a well motivated worker.”

        “But sir” I said, “Why no more than three military members per office :?:

        “Ron, isn’t obvious :?: This way all the NSA managers get good help under budget and no manager can get more than three G.I.s :!: Otherwise, some ambitious NSA manager like me who is aiming from the super-grades in the bureaucracy, would have nothing but G.I.s working for him.”

        “Well what do you think :?:

        “Sir, it sounds like slavery to me.”

        Bud the NSA manager laughed and said, “See, you get the big picture, after all.”

        Did I tell you this was at an office Christmas party and Bud was very drunk when I got told the real deal. :mrgreen:
