There was a reason the smartest and freest Americans (the founding fathers) debated the issue and decided to specifically DENY police power to the Federal Government. They knew a federal police force would be corrupted and abuse its power. And lo and behold, no sooner was a federal police force created than it was corrupted. Smart guys those founders. Almost like they knew what they were talking about.

J Edgar Hoover has entered the chat.
No shit. It was a garbage organization from day one.
