With the information age, comes information. This just further validates what those people, you know the ones, the "crazy" old war vets and government spies have been saying for decades. They just give it a patriotic name and throw in words like "stop" or "terrorist" or "drug trafficking" or "illegal aliens"(Any combination of these words is a winner as long as "stop" is first) in a speech and tell us it is for our protection. And on that note, who better to traffic drugs than those trained better yet FORMED to stop the drugs from comming in? This stuff isn't suprising, One rotten apple spoils the bunch. However, there are good cops out there who really are protecting and serving our country the right way. Unfortunately we don't hear about them as often that's all.

How often do you see press on the good things that Law Enforcement does? Unfortunately, those stories don't sell as well. I believe law enforcement is mostly good because I have worked with them. I also believe that if you take the # of bad cops that you see reports about and divide that by the number of cops actually employed you would see that the much greater percent is good.

First, the CIA is not a law enforcement agency. They collect intelligence and conduct covert operations outside of the United States. The CIA is kind of like a septic tank. You really need it to do what it does but you really don't want to know what or how it is doing it.
Second, oh please? Did you know that all science teachers are actually terrorist? Did you know all McDonald's hamburgers are made from Soilent Green.
Use a little common sense.

Well now look up how many times the police caught the bad guy.... your not going to find as many because that's not 'newsworthy' so news agency's aren't going to make money off a police dept's blotter unless some crooked politician is on it.
Plus this is the CIA not cops, worlds apart!

Give me the numbers. How many cops have been proven to be bad? Now how many cops are there total?
The bad is what gets the coverage. Like a plane wreck. When was the last time you opened the paper to a headline reading "Last night there was NO plane accidents....again" ?

What did that article have to do with cops? The CIA is completely different. Some people will distort anything to fit their warped view point.

I finally see where ONE person finally caught on with the "cop" and "law enforcement" you've labeled on CIA and FBI personnel.
It's this kind of unclear description that reaches the anals of rumor and innuendos.

Because individual cops are mostly good. Agencies have their own motives.

Probably because the media refuses to report on the tens of thousands of cops that do their jobs and do them well and instead focuses on the rogue officers.
After all, who wants to read that someone's doing their job?..right?

Hey genius, this was over 30 years ago?
