Speaking of another bunch of bureaucrats who need to become unemployed,

Two questions:

1. Why in the hell does the National Institutes of Health have its own police department? What part of seeking “fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability” requires police power and guns? Are they going arrest that fundamental knowledge?

2. And why the hell does the NIH refuse to tell an arm of Congress — their boss — how many guns and how much ammo it has?

There are a LOT of agencies with their own police and/or SWAT teams, including the bloody Dept. of 'Education'.  Everyone involved in approving that crap should be fired for criminally overstepping their boundaries and wasting taxpayer money.

NIH conducts animal experimentation, and periodically has .. shall we say, vociferous protesters. There are also presentations made on medical topics by individuals with controversial viewpoints, prompting some people to not like it. NIH also has its own fire department. The campus is public, and open, not like a military installation. There’s a subway stop, bus stops, and acres upon acres of public parking. You can drive right up to pretty much any NIH building.

So aside from handing out parking and speeding tickets, they could be needed for an emergency.

For which there are the police, US Marshals, the EffingBI.

Them playing "You don't get to know what we're spending other people's money on" is bullshit. It's bad enough that clownshows like the Dept. of Education and others have effing SWAT teams.

same thing Obuma's departments did when they purchased million of rounds. The ammo is to create a worst shortage plus a way to give buddies Ukraine ammo.
