When I was boarded it was a case of I have the gun, and you will submit. After speaking with the C.O. when I finally anchored. In defending the C.G. he stated because we are hiring so quick. We cannot always pick the most qualified personel.

These crews are using us as practice. Some have become carried away with power.
In my current position working on trace detection equipment I have never seen any LEO not act reposonsibly (with the exception of Jamaica). During my Navy tour I saw what can happen when tensions rise and misunderstandings escalate. When attitudes fly and guns are around only bad things can happen. BTW I'm not anit-gun, I am anti-attitude.
