Yeah, I caught that too. I immediately thought "Put ol Jason Borne there in a Simunition shoot house with that tactic and Imma light him up playing the bad guy. Be like a swarm of bees on him I'll get so many hits before he clears Kydex."Originally Posted by PearTree
Wasn't there another article about about a CIA-turned-cop a few months ago? New York City maybe?
Or was it the other way around, a cop who joined the CIA, because doing counter-terrorism stuff was similar to gang-busting?

If you count contracting, that’s common enough that I know more than one person who’s done it. And I’m an arts/music guy, not LE...
That was kind of my thought, I have heard a lot of people claim to be "OGA" when in reality they were a DoS/DoD/ABC contractor who did help desk support for 6 months.
Sorry, just ultra liberal police officer.
I did apply to the CIA almost thirty years ago though! I got the coolest rejection letter on CIA letterhead!
The guy is a total bullshit artist and attention whore. I liked the part where " pollice kill nearly a thousand citizens a year". Well if a number less than halfway to a thousand counts, then yeah...
Dude will get outed as a poser and fraud. I'll bet money on it.
I try not to make judgements about people's backgrounds or stories, I've had plenty of experience meeting folks who really were who they said they were in a former "life."
However, no matter what background this guy has, he's a tool bag, and he should STFU about stuff he clearly doesn't understand...
Something to remember is the vast majority of case officers are not ground branch/SAD/paramilitary officers. The latter are extremely well trained in weapons, tactics, and force application.....and the reason they exist is because case officers are not extremely well trained in weapons, tactics, and force application....
My guess is 99% that this guy had more in common with a congressional staffer than Jason Bourne.
I really rolled my eyes when he insinuated that CIA case officers are better trained to conduct police work than actual police officers. Give me a fucking break......

"Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll."- Last words of Todd Beamer
After telling his fellow officers that they're not smart enough to search a building without shooting each other, no wait he didn't have the courtesy to even do that, after using a national publication to call his coworkers a bunch of idiots that aren't smart enough to search a building without shooting each other, I don't see him lasting long there. He better get used to being on everyone's radar.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
The part about the homeless mentally ill woman really had me rolling mu eyes. He elects to gerry her about, spend six dollars to buy her breakfast, and then drop her to loiter at Waffle House. What are the odds that she'll expect the same treatment from both Skinner and every other cop the next night? What if the next officer can't afford or doesn't want to spend six dollars the next night? Is her presence in Waffle House welcomed by anyone? Is it bringing in customers to support the establishment or perhaps driving them elsewhere? Lastly, what is the end result? An officer on another shift calls for an ambulance for her. While I don't know Savannah, I'm inclined to think the other officer is doing more to connect this woman with the mental health system.
Why do I think that our ex-spook's addresses him much the way Superintendent Chambers addresses the principal of Springfield Elementary? "SKINNNER!!!!"
