Rep. King Joins U.S. Marshals on Early Morning Raids -

A video posted to the YouTube account of Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has sparked an investigation by the U.S. Marshals Service into why a videographer accompanying the New York Republican was allowed to film inside private residences against a federal policy.

Shortly after noon on Tuesday, a tweet from King’s account linked to an eight minute video of a ride-along with a “fugitive task force” including U.S. marshals on Monday. It showed King, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, joining police as they broke down doors and arrested a suspected fugitive. The video carried the logo of the “Manhunters” reality TV show and featured one of its stars, marshals commander Lenny DePaul.

After TPM made inquiries about the video with King’s office, it was marked “private” and no longer available to the public on YouTube. Later, the video was removed from YouTube entirely.

A shorter version, with almost a minute of footage cut out, was posted later in the day, and tweeted from King’s account. Clips of an officer kicking in a door, a joke about how King “got” a suspect and an officer describing to King how he kicked someone, perhaps the suspect, off a ladder were cut out.http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/03/peter_king_manhunter_video_sparks_us_marshals_probe.php

1. DISGUSTING but typical

Peter f*%#@ing King is a hard-charging pile of shit.

He should be censured in the House for this MASSIVELY innapropriate, camerahogging stunt. This clearly illustrates the level of the man's intellect and probity.. a stupid reality tv show.

2. true on both counts.

if there's anyone who needs to be kicked off a ladder - like the suspect was - it is this POS Peter King.
he needs to be kicked off the NY cogressional delegation as well. fucking troglodyte.
