U.S. Air Marshals Flee Brazil After Arrest
CNN reported that two U.S. air marshalls arrest a Brazilian national on an international flight and are then arrested themselves when they land in Brazil. Judge confiscates their passports but they flee the country in the middle of the night. How'd they manage that?The line from the TSA and the Air Marshal union? The air marshalls are the good guys and it's just corrupt judges abusing their power. Wait, what? This isn't Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, this is Brazil - they're no more corrupt than we are! So if it is a corrupt judge, where's the apology from the government? Where's... anything supporting that statement? It's just as likely we have another "isolated incident" where the air marshalls arrested and abused an innocent person - but this time, she was Brazilian and her government wasn't willing to roll over and allow its citizens to be abused.
It'd be nice if the U.S. government felt that way about its citizens.
