DEA shoots himself teaching class

[N4S]

OMG!!!!

I love how he tries to play it off and then when they bring out the machine gun the kids are all worried and tell him to put that away.

That is out of freaking control!
I'm the only one professional enough in this room to carry this glock 40. BAM!

I'd say that pretty much sums up how successful the war on drugs has been.

Why whatever do you mean?

You're not implying that the BILLIONS we've spent bringing, er I mean preventing from being brought in, drugs that is, was not successful? Are you?

Come now, if it weren't for the DEA, could you really get crack so easily? I mean, it would be much more difficult to get the drugs we can find so easily, er......

Hmmm, maybe you're right.

Wow..
Loaded (and unloaded) guns deserve a lot more respect than he gives them!

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

Seeks damages for distribution of humiliating gun accident video

APRIL 11--A Drug Enforcement Administration agent who stars in a popular online video that shows him shooting himself in the foot during a weapons demonstration for Florida children is suing over the tape's release, claiming that his career has been crippled and he's become a laughingstock due to the embarrassing clip's distribution. Lee Paige, 45, blames the video's release on DEA officials in an April 7 federal lawsuit filed against the U.S. government. A copy of the pro se complaint by Paige, a DEA agent since 1990, can be found below. According to the lawsuit, Paige was making a "drug education presentation" in April 2004 to a Florida youth group when his firearm (a Glock .40) accidentally discharged. The shooting occurred moments after Paige told the children that he was the only person in the room professional enough to carry the weapon. The accident was filmed by an audience member, and the tape, Paige claims, was turned over to the DEA. The drug agency subsequently "improperly, illegally, willfully and/or intentionally" allowed the tape to be disseminated. As a result, Paige--pictured above in a still from the video--has been the "target of jokes, derision, ridicule, and disparaging comments" directed at him in restaurants, grocery stores, and airports. 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."

Ya it is really old. I do remember seeing it quite a while back. Still shows how much respect guns deserve though.
