The man that fired 7 shots into the White House in 2011 was also named Gonzalez, I think. What;’s up with that? They BOTH had Machetes and knives.

Other than her time at the Orlando PD, which doesn’t say what she did with them, it appears she’s always been in an administrative position. Doesn’t bode well with the “front line” agents, IMHO.

In the absence of leadership and accountability, there’s good-ol’ Congressional Oversight.

But, then again, you repeat yourself. :)
