  1. A lifelong friend of mine who retired as a DEA agent went psycho when I suggested that society needed to weed out corrupt law enforcement officials. He told me that I was stupid and ignorant and he never met a corrupt DEA agent during his entire career. I gave him blatant examples of corruption by LEO’s but he denied them all. By his choice, we are no longer friends. Until this happened, I never realized he was such a douche bag. I surmise he was corrupt and I struck a chore with him.
