And you expected different?

Many PDs require a patrolman to cycle through varies duties before being eligible for advancement. Undercover work is a common gig.

Churches, PACs and homeschool groups were made the primary focus of CIA intell, by president Clinton [removing over 5,000 CIA agents from overseas duties, re-posting them to domestic work].
