AAAAAArrrrrrrrrgh !

The freaking Department of Education has a "Law Enforcement Arm" ??

Sounds like a job for BATFE !

But for God's sake whatever you do don't just call the police or the FBI...
 
The link cited is over a year old and, as I recall, there were at least a couple of threads on the subject. Most every federal department and agency has some armed employees.

Might also want to brush up on the rules regarding drive-by posting.
 
But to add a folow up, here is what they are doing with these new shotguns...

A little over the top?: SWAT team launch dawn raid on family home to collect unpaid student loans

If you read the article the "swat" team is from the Department of Education.
Click to expand...

Kicking down doors to the wrong house...
 
Yes, the damned Education Department has an Inspector General and a SWAT Team!!! Crazy.

Authorities say now it was NOT for student loans. Still kept the father in a car for six hours. Their authority extends to fraud and embezzlement. Need their own SWAT Team for that...

Insane.

Like the New York City Sanitation Police Dept. Armed garbage men -- not kidding!
 
This is drive by journalism. Every federal department has an attorney general (I should have said "inspector general". If you read the articles, this wasn't in connection with repaying a student loan but for fraud or embezzlement. I don't know what kind of journalism this was, but where does it say that anyone even contacted the Department of Education to ask why the police were there and for an explanation of why the husband was detained in a car?

I'm just getting too old for this.

Maybe its old-age delusion, but I remember growing up in a country where everyone respected the law and the law respected everyone.

Shed a tear for our country.
 
Governments are in breach of the social contract when making a profit or any unconstitutional act is core to their existance (agencies must be self funding), harassment and threats the norm, and agency SWAT Team raids the default solution for white-collar crimes. Every officer and agent involved in the crimes of a "mistake" (like mistaken identity and false imprisonment, kidnapping, assault, battery, endangering minors, murder...) should spend a minimum of the time the crime they were after someone for would have been imprisoned -- THEN the rest, consecutively. Bet the Rambo crap stops fast...

Cry for the citizens when they are disarmed and HAVE to take whatever is done to them if the authorities become more tyrannical.
 
Gerhard. Call it white collar crime, but the way I see it if an officer is killed serving a warrant on a white collar criminal, they are just as dead as if it was an arrest warrant for armed robbery. For instance, take the case of the two West Memphis patrolman shot down during a routine traffic stop with an AK47. I think the charge was someting like driving without a license and no current vehicle registration.

Moreover, how many of the other persons apparently involved with this particular education loan fraud scam had violent histories?
 
Beware, the days when we will have to defend our rights with the threat of deadly force seems not far off.

This was posted in another forum I frequent and the victims side of the story is they were after his ESTRANGED wife who no longer even lived at the house. Yet the man was sat in cuffs in his front yard in front of neighbors in his underwear for a while prior to being placed in a squad car for hours on end while his house was searched.

If any one of these clowns would have done their homework and sat on the house for 48 hrs prior to the raid they probably would have been able to determine for themselves that the woman doesn't even live there and they could have saved themselves the public black eye.
 
We don't know anything about this story, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet. Could be that someone who was delinquent on their loans reacted by making some kind of threat. They could of been using federal financial aid as a means of funding any number of things including drug dealing (it happens).

If the Department of Education is as effective with law enforcement as they've been with education then I wouldn't worry too much.
 
Really? How about getting RID of the Dept. of Education that Carter FORMED!? How about they refer a law enforcement issue to real LAW ENFORCEMENT, not their ever-growing fifedom keystone cops? The guy who was tormented in front of his kids and neighbors should be filing the most severe Federal charges and sending bad, stupid, violent rent-a-cops and administrators to JAIL. Instead, he just asked for an apology and a new front door.

Oh, and yes, every car stop should involve shoot-first-serve-ticket-later SWAT Teams too. What're you talking about!?!? If you don't like real criminals, send them to jail too. This used to be a simple approach. Now law-abiding citizens wonder who's more likely to wrong or even harm them...
