    You would think that after already having 3 employees arrested for distributing and/or cohearsing young children to participate in sexual conduct, the Homeland Security would be on it's best behavior...

    A local school employee said a rough run-in with a couple of Homeland Security officers has left him with a strong sense of insecurity.

    Leander Pickett, a teacher's assistant at Englewood Elementary, said he was manhandled and handcuffed by two plain clothed Homeland Security officers in front of the school Tuesday for no reason at all. "I would like to treat people the way I would want to be treated, and yesterday I wasn't treated that way," Pickett said.

    Pickett has been working at Englewood for two years, and his principal and colleagues told Channel 4 they have never met a harder worker or nicer guy.
    "He's well loved by everyone because he's willing to do anything to help children," said the Englewood Elementary Principal Gail Brinson.

    However, Tuesday afternoon Pickett's niceness turned to anger, disappointment, and betrayal when, as Pickett was directing bus traffic, he said he was handcuffed and roughed up and humiliated by the very people that were supposed to protect him.

    "I walked up to him and said, 'Sir, you need to move.' That's when he said 'I'm a police officer. I'm with Homeland Security ... I'll move it when I want to.' That's when he started grabbing me on my arm," Pickett said.

    However, Homeland Security tells a different story. The department said the only reason the officers were at the school was because they pulled over to look at a map. The department also said it's looking into what happened, and that Pickett's version is wrong. It claims he was antagonizing the officers.
    Several people were outside of the school, watching the incident take place, and those witnesses agree with Pickett's story.

    "Mr. Pickett asked the guy blocking the bus loading zone to move, and the guy told him he would move his car when he got ready to move it," said Englewood coach Alton Jackson. "At that point I intervened and I went up to the gentleman and said, 'Mr. Pickett is an employee here,' and they said that didn't matter," said Englewood media specialist, Terri Dreisonstok.

    "'We're with Homeland Security,' and on and on they went, and pretty soon, before you know it, he's handcuffed and slammed against a car," Brinson said. "All the children are watching, they're all upset."

    After about 30 minutes, the men released Pickett.

    Take a good, hard, look at the job requirements for any type of law enforcement like that, at the bottom level.

    They're ing ex crackheads, meth addicts, jocks with IQ's of 50, and flat out assholes who need to boss others around to make their life feel meaningful.

    the cops

    I sure wonder when the i ever said i was mexican because i'm republican.

    But i thinks it was all due to the fact that you have animosity towards me because i'm brown and i'm not a stereotype like yourself.

    But you should only hate cops for the reason that they have allowed your freind to sit in a cell to get federally nailed in the bootay.

    "Have there been any terrorist attacks on Englewood Elementary since 9/11?"

    Were there any terrorist attacks on Englewood Elementary (or ConUs) before 9/11?

    Absence of an effect (terrorist attack) doesn't prove the existence or absence of the cause (DHS).

    I read the police nationwide are having a terrible time recruiting, just like the military, and, just like military, are lowering their standards. DHS probably STARTS with lower standards than the military and police (and FBI and CIA who bungled security that led to 9/11). DHS is an employer of last resort.

    DHS is federal govt that sprang forth from the loins of the Repugs, so the assumption must be it's both brain-damaged and incompetent.
