Rumble Near the Gavel

So I was a witness yesterday to ANOTHER crime. This time a federal offense. Here's the gist. Extern 2 and I walk into the building coming back from lunch and we see the security officers asking some WHITE guy to leave. He keeps arguing with them but is generally moving away from the four or five security officers. He's pretty close to the door when one of the officers shoves him to the ground. At some point in all this he makes gestures as if he's about to punch like clenches his fist, etc. One of the officers says, "Don't punch him buddy or you'll go to jail." Anyway, as soon as the guy got up after the first shove, he gets shoved down again. This time he lands outside the building. He gets up and punches the officer in the face. One of the guards says, "Oh now you're going to jail." And the scuffle ensues. Long story short, officer ended up with a broken nose.

Oh and there was a second incident on the 12th floor totally unrelated where another officer got hit in the face. The bottom line is, what the hell is the Federal Protective Service Police? They had to drive over to the scene, meaning the fight was long over. We already have U.S. Marshalls in the building, so why did we need another law enforcement agency to do the grunt work? Homeland Security...at least the building wasn't struck by lightning.
