Re:Google ‘pressure cooker,’ get a police visit? Maybe not. by moocowduckquack on Thursday August 01, 2013 @04:26PM (#6143245)
Is interesting that the FBI have said there was a police visit from specific departments, although those police departments themselves are dancing round the issue.

I wonder if the police misrepresented themselves.

“They were officers from the Nassau County Police Department who identified themselves as such,” said Kelly Langmesser, the FBI spokeswoman. But mysteriously, neither the Nassau nor Suffolk County Police would confirm their involvement in the investigation Thursday afternoon. An officer from the Nassau County Police repeatedly refused to even give her first name; a Public Information Officer in Suffolk County said she would comment when she had more information.

The FBI, for all their faults, are professionals. Local police? Ha!

Professionals!? You mean the guys who refuse to record interviews with suspects? Now what reason could they possibly have for refusing to record an interview...

That makes them sound even more professional, if you consider it in their professional interest to cover their tracks.

Certainly problematic, but I wouldn't describe the problem with that as a lack of professionalism per se.

They aren't honest, they aren't trustworthy, they don't act in your interest... but they aren't juveniles either. They don't act like a bunch of out of control children on power-trips.
