Dept. Of Education - Going Rambo

h/t to Mark Levin

The story of a federal SWAT team descending on a home in Stockton, CA is causing people to ask the question: "What in the hell is the Department of Education doing with their own SWAT team?"  For that matter, how many other departments in the U.S. government have their own law enforcement arms? Has Congress specifically authorized these autonomous law enforcement teams, or is monies designated to the Department being diverted into these off-shoots?
I, for one would like to see somebody, anybody, in Congress open up a public investigation into finding out how many Departments have their own law enforcement, and why they exist.  Why do they need them?  Why are existing law enforcement agencies (FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Homeland Security, TSA, state and local agencies) not enough.  Who controls these, apparently, secret law enforcement agencies?
The American people deserve to know about this group, and if there are any others out there.

Education Department buying 27 shotguns
By Valerie Strauss

Why is the Education Department purchasing 27 Remington Brand Model 870 police 12-gauge shotguns (all new, no re-manufactured products, thank you)?

The guns are to replace old firearms used by Education’s Office of Inspector General, which is the law enforcement arm of the department.
