Leasure
"Bill Leasure did not fit the standard mold of the Los Angeles Police Department, as portrayed on Dragnet or the headlines that have branded the LAPD as a violent, racist institution in the wake of cases such as the O.J. Simpson murder trial and Rodney King affair. He was nicknamed "Mild bill" by his associates. He had a spotless personnel record, including numerous letters of praises from citizens who met him on the street and claims that he had an "easy-going personality."
However, he ended up in custody for a triple murder.
William Ernest Leasure went to trial on three counts of first-degree murder on April 15, 1991...the jury deliberated four weeks before reporting themselves hopelessly deadlocked on June 28. The final vote had been 10 to 2 for conviction on all counts.
Jury selection for Leasure's second trial began on October 31, 1991, and Bill Leasure surprised the prosecution a day later, changing his plea from 'not guilty' to 'no contest' on two negotiated counts of second degree murder, accepting a prison term of 15 years to life. At that time, it was no admission of guilt from leasure's perspective, rather, he informed the press, he had struck the bargain 'because my wife wants me to come home someday.' He will eligible for parole, along with killer cop Craig Peyer, in the year 2004."

Guards
"You might expect prisoners to hate prison guards. but it may surprise you to know that prison guards are almost as sincerely hated by cops...Prison guards may wear cop-like uniforms and badges, and some guards carry guns, but that still doesn't make them cops. Unlike cops, prison guards don't investigate, patrol or mix with the public. The typical prison guard is a cop wannabe who is too stupid or otherwise flawed to make it as a cop.
Prison guards are despised even among the Feds. The fastest growing part of 'federal law enforcement' is not the Praetorian of the FBI, DEA, and ATF. As vicious as those alphabet-soup agencies have become, they still have certain minimum standards. The biggest boom in 'federal law-enforcement' is among the blue-jacketed stooges of the Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons (BOP)...
Even ATF agents looked down upon the BOP."

TSA
"I am sure you know by now that the government has forbade certain objects and substances on passenger airlines. The government agency in charge of enforcing this is the Transportation Security Administration, a branch of Homeland Security. Some say the acronym TSA stands for 'thousands standing around,' but it is the government's attempt to protect you, the travelling public. These uniformed government employees attend extensive training, and some of them are very good at what they do and are very polite as well. However, none of them are immune to bad behavior on the part of those they are hired to inspect. Take seriously the admonition to refrain from jokes or snide remarks, no matter how frustrated you become with the process. TSA employees do have the power to make your day miserable...
.Sometimes luck eludes you and you are selected for a random search of your possessions and person. Now is the time to remain calm. Any fuss you make will only prolong the ordeal and could feed any power trip the TSA person might be on. Answer the questions honestly and carefully, as these inspections also include judgments about your character and demeanor. The TSA is slowly coming to the realization that profiling the traveling public is a formidable weapon against the folks who would do us harm, and these security efforts have been used successfully in other countries."
This is what the pilot of a major airlines in the United States said.
