DEA Agent Who Shot Self In Foot Sues U.S.

excerpt:

Paige, who writes that he was "once regarded as one of the best undercover agents, if not the best, in the DEA," points to the clip's recent airing on popular television shows and via the Internet as the reason he can no longer work undercover. He also notes that he is no longer "permitted or able to give educational motivational speeches and presentations."

I wonder why that is?

I don’t suppose it might be because he mistakenly fired his weapon in a room full of school children? (fortunately he only punched a hole in his foot and not some kid)

I am fairly certain that any intelligent legal council would have strongly advised his superiors not to ever let him in a school building again.

I see he's also gotten over his lack of confidence problem. My thought the first time I saw that clip, before I knew what was going to happen was, "What an arrogant, egotistical jerk."

He's a legend in his own mind.

Thanks for the link/update.

It looks like the audience didn’t want to see what a “Professional” could do with the bigger weapon.
