They probably said something crazy like all lives matter.


Will these same tests be given to the newly hired IRS agents? Or the rogue (read: all) FBI agents?

I really have no idea how I feel about this. I either really like it or I really hate it. On one hand, it's good to see wack-a-doodle officers off the street, on the other hand is this another way for the feds to get local law enforcement off the street.

I'm thinking that since we now know that it's a problem, they should all be tested and fired if they fail.

How many gun owners in America are whack-jobs and would also fail said test? (rhetorical)

According to the article, they were all tested. It's just that the Sheriff's office ignored the results and hired them anyway.
