Another entitled ICEhole who thinks he's above the law.
I guess he received the ultimate reprimand in the end.
Kudos to the Long Beach Police for getting this ICEhole off the streets.

(628 posts)Hodgson, the agent in the video, indeed died from an overdose per his attorney. The video in the post also literally says Hodgson died after his release from jail and his attorney confirmed in court he died from a drug overdose.

You are wrong. That poster you're referring to was also wrong.

(138 posts)and suggest they didnt sign up because they got off on hurting people, but because the job a) was easy to get due to nearly non-existent standards, and b) paid better than any other job available to an unqualified, unskilled person. Theyre doing it for the money.
Not exactly the moral high ground, but not evil either. Now, if they start thugging it up like their ICE compatriots, then theyve allowed themselves to be corrupted by the evil theyre swimming in.

(6,246 posts)Makes you wonder how many doped psychos are out committing crimes with a gun and badge under ICE/BP. Is there no drug testing? Probably a silly question.
Our vets have to fight for healthcare and these people will probably get long-term benefits.

more info on this:
On July 7, Hodgson, the L.A. County District Attorneys Office alleged, was drunk at the Yard House restaurant on Long Beachs waterfront, where a woman saw him in the womens restroom, his gun and ammunition clip visible.
He quickly put the weapon in his waistband, allegedly brushed the woman aside and called her sweetie while asking her on a date, The Post reported.
A security guard called 911 after Hodgson was told to leave the restaurant and was then seen pacing around the parking lot, his gun and holster in hand. Security footage captured the off-duty federal agent stashing his firearm behind a palm tree as officers with the Long Beach Police Department were responding with lights and sirens.

Of course, the Trump administration will use it to justify agents wearing masks.

(176 posts)How many BP agents are on the pad of the drug cartels? And how many are doing drugs? There should be mandatory drug testing to keep their job. And they should have their finances monitored to see suspicious spikes in cash transactions or the opening of foreign bank accounts. It will take a national task force to clean up these federal law enforcement agencies after the Dems return to the White House. Such breaches of trust in LEO's must be repaired. And law enforcement people may once again return to being respected as "peace officers" as demonstrated by these Long Beach officers.
