But I don't think there is any way that we can say 100% that something weird wasn't going on. Yeah, I can buy a BlackWater shirt and walk around... but this guy has handcuffs, an exposed firearm, and is enforcing a Federally issued warrant. That is what we DO know.Quote:

Now, with that said... doesn't it seem a bit inappropriate?
I would imagine that if a Federal agent, that is assigned to a raid an area that has (on a Federal level) controlled substances inside, showed up to work that day wearing ANYTHING other than DEA issued clothing and equipment... they would have AT LEAST been told to wise the FUCK UP and been ordered to stay out of the line of cameras. With all of the controversy over BlackWater, the only time they want to be photographed now is when they are helping people (like they supposedly are doing with the Cali fires). I would think that they want NOTHING to do with public raids with something so debated (and covered by the media) as Cannabis laws.
If it WAS a BlackWater agent... then that is definitely something to be concerned about. We have a private organization that has growing involvement in Federal matters. It is setting a dangerous precedent. This company employs people from all over the world. These employees can and will be sent to aid in "peace keeping," situations in the United States if this continues. Imagine being pulled over or questioned by a military trained BlackWater soldier... who barely speaks English and has limited experience in U.S. citizens rights. (I'm not implying that they just throw randoms into situations with no cultural training... but I would need years and years of training first if I were assigned to police a foreign country)
So... yeah... it could be a souvenir t-shirt.
BUT what would have happened it that same guy showed up wearing a black Hooters t-shirt? I'm guessing he would have been sent the fuck home just like I used to when I wore the wrong color pants for the dinner rush. :hippy:
At least that's my opinion...
eh, federal agents that go on raids can wear just plain black without any affiliated logos (dea, fbi, atf, etc...) They can dress up like commando-ninjas and you won't know who the creep really is that's dressed all in black lol. It's not like a standard police uniform they gotta adhere to, think of it like a casual friday kinda thing and let the agent wear his Blackwater shirt for shits and giggles...it still falls under the category of security and tactical operations. Maybe he used to be a Blackwater dude, or maybe he's training to be one. Could have just been trained by them but not employed. Or maybe he's trying to juggle two jobs at once lol I dunno. As long as they got the right gear, and clothing that's appropriate for the situation, it's all G.
But... to contract one single guy from Blackwater just to help with a simple non-critical raid on a co-op? It would be insane to even postulate such a thing. Even if the guy had/has/will have ties to Blackwater, that agency itself certainly wouldn't be involved in a co-op raid that only a few DEA agents can handle.

I dont think their agents, In fact I think they are mercinnaries, they have no offical US government offiliation other than they are contracted by the government. I am not even sure what side they fight on, or are paid to fight on, it is strange when the US government supports security organizations, when the taliban and alkada is just that. An organized mercinary/terrorist/Security/ whatever???
I've never seen a dea agent in street clothes during an arrest. Seen them casually dressed in undercover actions but not during arrests. If they were undercover officers, they would have worn ski masks during the arrest.
