"once regarded as one of the best undercover agents, if not the best, in the DEA,"

Since he's in government service, I find this easy to accept.

Of course, if he was one of the best, it's a little unsettling to consider the professionalism of the average DEA operative . . . let alone those who pull the average down. :eek:
 
Paige was making a "drug education presentation" in April 2004 to a Florida youth group when his firearm (a Glock .40) accidentally discharged.

Hmm, that's strange. My Glock won't fire unless I pull the trigger.
Maybe I should send it in for repair...? :confused:



Paige...points to the clip's recent airing on popular television shows and via the Internet as the reason he can no longer work undercover.

I think his carelessness is the reason he can no longer work under cover.



He also notes that he is no longer "permitted or able to give educational motivational speeches and presentations."

I don't see a problem with that. He didn't provide the kids with much motivation last time, did he?
 
Blatant bias and obvious ignorance

"Just goes to show you, there are lawyers ( or is it liers ) that [sic] will take ANY case."

Just goes to show you there are people who will fabricate any excuse to make unwarranted accusations. :barf:

Those of us who actually read - and comprehended - the story realize that Rasta DEA Man filed this suit pro se. :scrutiny:

For those who don't know what that means, Rasta Man thinks he is "po'feshunal enuff" to file and argue a lawsuit by himself; i.e., WITHOUT a lawyer. :rolleyes:
 
There is a typo in the article, corrections in red
As a result, Paige--pictured above in a still from the video--has been rightfully the "target of jokes, derision, ridicule, and disparaging comments"

I know this has all been discussed to death, but who brings a loaded gun into a room full of children and waves it around?:eek: This guy deserved to be shot in the leg, and loose his job, and be carried around the country in a parade led by Eddie Eagle to show kid how not to be an idiot.
 
Idiot DEA Agent Sues Government

DEA Agent Who Shot Self In Foot Sues U.S.

Seeks damages for distribution of humiliating gun accident video
APRIL 11--A Drug Enforcement Administration agent who stars in a popular online video that shows him shooting himself in the foot during a weapons demonstration for Florida children is suing over the tape's release, claiming that his career has been crippled and he's become a laughingstock due to the embarrassing clip's distribution. Lee Paige, 45, blames the video's release on DEA officials in an April 7 federal lawsuit filed against the U.S. government.

To butcher Mr. Clemens.... Suppose you worked for the DEA... and suppose you were an idiot...but I repeat myself. Proof that this fool is indeed a fool. He fails to realize then when you sue someone for your own incompetence and self administered humiliation, you only make things worse.
 
The video looks more like a "private party" had a vid-cam rolling, than that of a *.guv video. The Guv would probably have had higher-resolution cameras.

But yeah, shoot yerself while demo-ing "Gun Safety", and proclaiming you are the only one "Professional Enough" to handle a firearm.....well, you ARE a doofus.
 
If you shoot yourself while proclaiming that you are the "Only one in this room professional enough to carry this Glock Fawty'


WELL, THEN YOU ARE A DOOFUS, rightly deserving to be the "target of jokes, derision, ridicule, and disparaging comments"
 
Stupid is as Stupid does.

Is he sueing himself ?

A reality check working as a mall guard (Not intended to disparage any mall guards.) and a dope-slap to the back of his dreadlocked head should suffice methinks. :neener:
 
This guys career was harmed by his intentional, concious mishandling of a firearm? What was his quote? "I am the only one in this room professional enough to handle a loaded Glock 40 caliber. BANG! ouch!"

That shouldn't harm his career. That should end his career. If I, or any ordinary mortal (as opposed to super-humans who are above the law in federal law enforcement) had a negligent discharge in a school, in front of dozens of children, it would end my career as a sanitation engineer or anything else and I would almost certainly be charged with a handful of things, possibly felony. I would like to sue the city where they happened for not charging him. In fact someone could identify all the charges he should face and do a citizens's arrest on this guy.
 
Nice to know RastaNarc's name. Mr. Paige, nice to meet you and thank you for your moronic behavior which proves the Brady Bunch line "only the police are well-trained enough to handle firearms" to be a total and complete lie.:)

I hereby propose that THR contain a new forum. This new forum will be dedicated to negligent discharges committed by law enforcement officers. It shall be entitled the "Lee Paige Bradys' Lie Forum".:D

Also, according to the article "[t]he accident was filmed by an audience member, and the tape, Paige claims, was turned over to the DEA. The drug agency subsequently "improperly, illegally, willfully and/or intentionally" allowed the tape to be disseminated."

The government didn't film him. What more than likely happened was the tape was returned to the citizen or the citizen retained a copy and the citizen released the tape to the public as he has every right to do. This DEA guy is a complete idiot to blame the government.
 
He is sueing because he is embarrased that he shot himself in the foot during a presentation on gunsafety. :what:

"I'm the only one professional enough to....." Well not professional enough to clear the chamber or keep your finger off the trigger bonehead. He is there to teach kids about gun safety and could have killed one or more of them :banghead:

Oh the irony.....

Is it just me or does anyone else think that if you consider yourself "one of the best" but find yourself relegated to doing safety lectures in schools, wouldn't you think that your career has taken a nose dive? Looks to me like he had bigger problems before he shot himself in the leg.

Hummmmm, maybe he was looking for an easy way to get workmans comp.
