    They could!

    They could mimic the Republicans on basically any issue.

    Remember when the tarmac meeting was the end of the world or the handling of classified info, or even Graham lecturing congress on why they had to impeach Clinton to preserve the purity of the office.

    All so laughable now, in light of what we have learned about this administration. Wheres the outrage?

    you are never going to believe this, but it turns out it is possible for one law enforcement official or organization to be corrupt and another not.

    crazy i know.

    Right? It's just those MAINSTREAM law enforcement organizations that are corrupt and the enemy of the people. Not like the police, they're the only fair ones.

    Well I’m glad BLM makes you feel one way while the FBI makes you feel another way.

    Law and order when convenient. Outrage when white collar criminals get the same tactics and testament as regular criminals.

    selective believing in one and rejection of one based on nothing more than one view is what you call delusional PoV

    police are often very corrupt just not always. Not sure why its lost on all you that some law enforcement can be corrupt while some aren't. The FBI isn't being judged by what they oversee, its what they've actually done.

    Its based on their actions....


    The Stasi are corrupt, but the US Park Rangers aren't?!?!?!? hypocrisy i say.

    Law enforcement is more corrupt when there are less qualifications in the hiring process. Thus, local small town cops are more corrupt than FBI agents. Data has been analyzed showing that the higher level of education a officer has, the less likely they are to be involved in a shooting or be involved in any type of corruption.

    The shorter the path there is to become a cop, the more likely the people who just want a power trip filter through into the ranks.

    Don't agree. Its more corrupt when there is less oversight. the DoJ stonewalls and lies like crazy to Congress. They never get punished. Very little oversight.

    You genuinely believe small town cops on average are less crooked than FBI agents who go through immense background screening and many of whom have advanced degrees?

    Screenings are for checking your background, not whether you were ethical in your job performance (oversight does this). Why the hell would a degree matter?

    I have no idea about the average of all local cops.

    Quantify “lies like crazy to Congress”. That’s a pretty outrageous claim.

    I think Tallanvor just represents this conservative mind set where the FBI can’t be trusted because they are federal while the poh-lease are local....

    I'm not a conservative, and when I think of the legacy of the FBI, I tend to think of the family values of J Edgar Hoover and things like this, this, this, this, this, and this.

    And....?

    If I post twice as many links regarding this misdeeds of local law enforcement do I win?

    Do these links somehow dispute the notion that conservatives backed local law enforcement when BLM was dominating the news cycle while it questioned the FBI when “their guy” got caught up in it?

    They demonstrate that the FBI has a long history of providing reasons not to trust them, especially if you aren't a conservative. That so many decided to forget that when it became politically convenient to is not a comforting thing.

    I mean that’s the history of most government run things, like local enforcement that conservatives were readily backing during the BLM

    As I mused... there’s only a few years separating BLM and Trump, but two different response towards law enforcement from the Law and Order party....
