New metaphor needed. Apply within.

Last week, I asked the musical question:

Does LACSD make it a practice to hire and promote deputies who are dumber than a bag of hair?

Apparently, “dumber than a bag of hair” does not even begin to cover it.

Two Los Angeles County sheriff’s sergeants accused of lying to federal investigators by threatening to arrest an FBI agent secretly recorded the confrontation outside the agent’s home, a federal prosecutor said in court Monday.

Yes. Not only did they try to intimidate an FBI agent, they recorded themselves doing it. And the prosecution has those recordings now.

(I did give some thought, for just a moment, to the idea that this might have been an ass-covering measure. But on second thought, that doesn’t make much sense; you want to cover your butt on something like this, you record the supervisor giving the illegal order. You don’t record yourself committing the crime.)
