What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

I skipped the steps of the application process that would have clued the agency in on my lack of fitness for the position. I made no effort to hide my public loathing of the agency, what it stands for, and the administration that runs it. And they offered me the job anyway.

    The point was that they clearly aren’t checking up on anyone they hire. Meaning literal nazis can easily get in without anyone noticing or caring.

      …I mean that implies they wouldn’t hire Nazis if they were screening.

      America inspired the Nazis. This is nothing new. Our country is founded on genocide and built by slavery. The only reason decorum has been maintained as long as it has is because the propaganda/distraction machine worked so well until they broke it on Israel and forgetting to give people enough money to eat.

        Not really, it implies they have plausible deniability because they can just pretend a “mistake” like that is a one off, if discovered. “Oh whoopsy, one slipped through!”

          The LA Sherriff’s Department was revealed to have gangs in their ranks which would go out and party and get commemorative gang tattoos after they killed their first person.

          Basically nothing happened as a result.

          You drastically overestimate the extent to which there is oversight or accountability for any so-called ‘law enforcement’ in this country.

            You’re making a huge mistake if you think I believe that would ever care from a morality standpoint. What I am saying is that they would prefer to appear to be checking and also not have records indicating they would hire known racists/criminals. My theory seems to line up with the author of this article’s experience.
