IRS faces online uproar over special agent job posting requiring ability to use deadly force 'if necessary'

[ducks]

A link to a job posting for "Criminal Investigation Special Agents" appeared to have been briefly deleted on Wednesday, following online criticism of the posting's language, though it reappeared back online after a FOX Business inquiry to the agency.

A "key requirement" for applicants is that they have to be "legally allowed to carry a firearm," and "major duties" include "Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary" and "Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments," according to the job posting.

The requirement that agents be willing to use "deadly force, if necessary" drew heated criticism online, although the same language appears in job postings for other law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI.

The IRS union gives 99% of its donations to Democrats.

Now you know why Joe Biden wants to give the agency $80 billion.

" Part of President Joe Biden's agenda, the Inflation Reduction Act allocates $79.6 billion to the agency over the next 10 years. More than half of the money is meant for enforcement, with the IRS aiming to collect more from corporate and high-net-worth tax dodgers...."

Actually it was repugs since 2010 bribed to cut almost a billion from the IRS budget so IRS enforcement cannot go after complex cases which are the Repug bribers
