Just shows that the FBI is filled with reactionary dickheads. Don't expect an agency like that to have changed since they murdered Civil rights leaders.
But the TV shows all say they're the good, righteous peeeeeeeoooooople
Mulder and Scully were good, but they went against what their superiors and the organization wanted all the time. I thought the point was you need to be a rebel to not be an evil asshole at the FBI.
It think that goes for any position of relative power. Be the change you want to see in others and all that.
That's how you know the shows are fictional
Agree, and its very start was as a government-sponsored hit squad extrajudicially murdering bank robbers under the direction of an extremely troubled man. It's never strayed far from its roots.
