True, many should not be working for TSA for various reason, but the same could be said for the CPD. Many were hired because of political connections etc. I know the CPD sent the chosen few down to springfield for the police memorial (as a tour of duty). Certain officers get to go to the LOD funerals because it beats a tour of duty doing police work. Many of our former FOP officials never missed a springfield or DC trip, when the FOP (rank and file) was picking up the tab. Once they are out and would have to go on their own time and expense, as many of us do yearly, they just never make it.<br />In the past 20 or so years, police funerals have become a media event. <br />If you are going to criticize TSA for showing up at police funerals why don't you mention the politicians and other government phonies. They are the ones controling the purse strings, manpower issues, and safety concerns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-35978776758573217762011-08-29T16:10:23.125-07:002011-08-29T16:10:23.125-07:00Homeland Security is a quasi-security outfit run b...Homeland Security is a quasi-security outfit run by the Obama Federal Government. It is made up of the unsworn federal protective officers that have responsibilities such as watching video monitors and making sure federal employees don’t leave the coffee pots on after they leave. They are armed and answer to the property managers. They are not federal officers with the power of arrest. They are putting everything they can under that Nazi bitch Naploitano. Obama is following the Nazi model of creating his own force loyal to him rather than the people and our Constitution.Paul Huebl Crimefile Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841397705805774698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-91760227618623750612011-08-29T15:57:27.147-07:002011-08-29T15:57:27.147-07:00Hey Paul along with these TSA idiots maybe you can...Hey Paul along with these TSA idiots maybe you can explain who are these "Homeland Security" guys who compete on shows like "Top Shot." Can anyone explain just what "Homeland Security" is and what branch of law enforcement they represent? Why is this unknown mythical Federal Dept. involved with the recent Hurricane Irene? How do they figure in things like natural disasters? Just wondering who "Homeland Security" is and just what is it that this useless Federal Dept. does? Does anyone know the answer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
