DEA Agent Who Shot Self Presses Forward In Suit Against Gov't (VIDEO)

[RamboLiberal]

A Drug Enforcement Agency agent who shot himself in the foot during a classroom demonstration in a video that went viral on YouTube is asking an appeals court to rule that the disclosure of the video was an invasion of privacy.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tampa Bay Bandits football player and undercover agent Lee Paige first sued over the disclosure of the April 2004 video in April 2006. Now, Mike Scarcella of National Law Journal reports, he wants an appeals court to overturn a ruling that ended the suit in December.

"I am the only one in the room professional enough, that I know of, to carry this Glock 40," Paige said just before he shot himself in the foot. He continued to deliver his presentation as he hobbled around the room, trying to turn it into a lesson for the children in the room.

The video not only made the rounds online but was shown on the Jay Leno Show, CNN HeadlineNews, Fox News and the Jimmy Kimmel Show according to court documents.

3. I love stuff like this...

Doofus shoots self. Doofus's video ends up on YouTube. Doofus gets feelings hurt. Doofus sues anyone that MIGHT have anything to do with said embarrassment rather than just acknowledging that if they had not been so damned stupid or clumsy in the first place there would be no issue.

Fuck him...
