These are the people responsible for identifying terrorists. I think they are the terrorists in most cases. Three Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to a specialized screening team at Newark Airport were arrested Wednesday for assaulting fellow officers, allegedly pinning the victims to what was known as a “rape table,” according to court records. Tito Catota, Parmenio Perez and Michael Papagni are charged with forcibly assaulting, impeding, intimidating, and interfering with two men identified in court documents as “Victim One” and “Victim Two” while the victims were on duty as CBP officers. The three officers and the alleged victims were part of the same unit that is involved in the identification and interception of passengers attempting to bring contraband into the United States or who might be associated with terrorist activity. “The defendants, who were members of a unit responsible for identifying dangerous contraband and threats to national security, allegedly subjected their own colleagues to senseless physical abuse, all while on duty at Newark Liberty International Airport,” acting U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said. According to court records, the officers locked the victims in a secure room in Newark’s Terminal C and pinned them to a conference table that the CBP officers called their “rape table.” No clothing was removed but court records said the victims were subjected to “grinding” and the simulation of a sex act. “This behavior would be abhorrent in any environment, especially one serving a critical law enforcement function,” Fitzpatrick said. The Department of Homeland Security is conducting an investigation. “DHS employees pledge to maintain the highest standards of conduct and the OIG ensures those employees are held accountable when they violate that obligation,” Special Agent in Charge Mark Tasky said. The three officers appeared in Newark federal court Wednesday and did not enter pleas. They will be released on $100,000 bail. If convicted, they could face eight years in prison for each count. CBP said it welcomed the indictments. “We do not tolerate misconduct in our ranks and are committed to a safe workplace environment free of harassment or intimidation,” spokesman Anthony Bucci said. The agency first became aware of the alleged misconduct in January. At the time, 11 Newark employees, including three supervisors, were put on administrative duty and stripped of their access to guns, badges and sensitive information. The three supervisors have since been fired. It was not immediately clear whether the accused had obtained lawyers. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/fede...news-topstories.html SIG556 Classic P220 Carry SAS Gen 2 SAO SP2022 9mm German Triple Serial P938 SAS P365 FDE P322 FDE Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" | ||

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." -Friedrich Nietzsche It seems the world is moving in this direction. Fire is most easily fought with fire, your enemies with their enemies, and monsters, with monsters... There is no room on my planet for this behavior or these people. H&K-Guy | |||

If they were doing this to enemy combatants or foreign terrorists it might, repeat MIGHT, have justification, but these DOUCHEBADGES were doing it to colleagues. Colleagues who happen to carry guns.

I'm desensitized to hazings. In my Navy experience, we've had those and I would have thought for sailors who are all locked up with each other with no women at that time, hazings with a sexual component is expected as an outlet. But I can't understand people on land who can go home to a normal life and in this day and age to do such things. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

everything is ok in America these days , nothing will be done to stop this. Unless the complainers take action them selves, the complainers have the ability to make absolutely sure that these A holes don't do this again. there is no better way to say this b.s. is not ok, than to permanently prevent it/them Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

I'm willing to bet that these customs agents were probably no older than 23-24 years old at most. I'd chalk it up to guys hazing guys, and nothing more nefarious than than. It's unfortunate for them that it's likely getting blown severely out of proportion. | |||

It takes a really bright individual to mess up his life/career over some stupid dry humping garbage. | |||

Not really worked up over it, but it shows an incredible level of immaturity/stupidity. Who in the heck is not aware that such shenanigans have not been OK in the workplace for at least a few decades? | |||

Yeah, it's pretty dumb. I certainly wouldn't be doing such shenanigans with guys I'm not already really cool with.

A failure of supervision and leadership. This didn't just start that day-there had to be a culture in the unit that allowed this to go on. Somebody in leadership knew or should have known it was animal house back there and should have stepped in before it got out of hand. CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||

If it was me I would be super worked up over it. Most likely I would have fought to the death over that treatment, pretty good chance someone would have left that room with broken bones or worse. -c1steve | |||

It used to be "acceptable" to grab your secretary's ass, too. BTW: Call it what you want, M/M sexual hazing is gay as hell. | |||

no, it's never been acceptable to grab your secretary's ass. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Of course not. That's why I put it in quotes. It happened all the time, but women put up with it because it wasn't taken seriously. They sure wouldn't now. Same thing with this hazing BS. | |||
