*Secret Service Agent Suspended for Burglary Shot and Killed* *Michael Cantrell <http://www.youngcons.com/author/michael-cantrell/>* *December 16, 2015* 2:11 pm
The Secret Service continues to flush its reputation straight down the toilet as an agent recently suspended for burglary was shot and killed. Here’s the skinny on what happened. >From ABC News <http://abcnews.go.com/US/suspended-uniformed-division-secret-service-officer-shot-killed/story?id=35798973> : Suspended Secret Service Uniformed Division Officer Arthur Baldwin was shot and killed in the District of Columbia Tuesday afternoon. The DC Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the incident. “The Secret Service is aware of this information. We express our condolences to the family of our employee,” according to a statement by the Secret Service. “Any inquiries regarding the investigation of this homicide should be directed to Washington Metropolitan Police Department.” Baldwin was put on suspended status after he was arrested and charged with first degree attempted burglary and destruction of property last April. In that incident, police officers responded to a call that a burglary was taking place in a home in Southeast DC. Officers at the scene found the front door kicked in with the hinges broken, according to court documents. A woman whom police said was “observed crying, shaking and appeared to be in fear of her life” told police that her “ex-boyfriend won’t leave me alone.” The woman became uncooperative under questioning by police and allegedly said, “I don’t want him to lose his job, he is a police officer,” according to court filings. Baldwin then pulled up to the scene in his truck and allegedly said to the officers, “I am a police officer, can I talk to her?” Police asked him where his service weapon was and he pointed to his vehicle where they recovered a loaded Sig-Saur hand gun, according to court filings. Strange stuff. This is yet another example of the dysfunction within the Secret Service, which has had so many issues over the last few years it’s absolutely insane. These individuals are tasked with protecting our president and other elected officials, which means they should be folks who are not only highly skilled, but of upright moral character as well. Secret Service agents are protecting important people who control the infrastructure of our country. It’s supposed to be an honorable position, but unfortunately, dropping the ball on fence jumpers, getting drunk and driving over packages, and getting suspended for burglary are all incidents that undermine that concept. Let’s hope the Secret Service cleans its act up and the individual responsible for this murder is brought to justice. __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbmw5dTh2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0NTAyOTg3NDQ-> [image: Yahoo!
