I believe Clarence Kelly was Chief of Police in Kansas City, MO. when he was made head of F.B.I.

From 1973? That's relevant?

I believe RFSALES was responding to JAllen's claim in this excerpt:

No FBI Director has ever been a chief of police, and maybe none have been policemen.

Interesting. Of all the names I heard tossed around for this position, I can't remember hearing this one.

President Trump has made excellent decisions thus far (IMO) so I'm trusting his judgment here.

Agreed.

Ya got me on that one. I ran down the names in my head, right by that one. Good catch!

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I would have to disagree with the agent Getting far better trained than the officer. Not necessarily true. Having worked/working both sides of that plate I have noticed officers seem to get more mandatory training by state statutes than some of the agents who get a certain aspect of training at the academy and then that's it.

Also, I can tell you the local officers assigned to the FBI and other fed agencies know who and where the terrorists are in their town and have more ways into that particular person or group than an agent that gets assigned somewhere from somewhere before having to do "headquarters time".
