(6) may order the disconnection of any Federal Government or United States critical infrastructure information systems or networks in the interest of national security;

IS the law too good for you?

I respect LEOs, well the 99% that act with integrity, honesty, and a desire to do the right thing.

This guy not so much.

I have friends that chose public service for their careers and work hard to support the ideals of "Protect and Serve". Then dipshits like this yahoo, abuse their power ignore the rule of law and recklessly endanger the people they are sworn to protect.

It's that 1% that screws the rest of us.

I sincerely hope that Cpl. Martinez learns from his mistake and is a better and more humble person for it.
