Apparently, one of the DHS Presidential Security team got drunk in South Korea and got physical with a South Korean citizen over a cab ride.
Not a good look at all for the Biden Administration.

Quote:SEOUL — One of President Biden’s security officers was arrested and accused of assaulting a South Korean citizen in Seoul a few hours before Biden arrived in the country, according to South Korean police.
The individual was detained early Thursday, an official with Seoul’s Yongsan district police said Friday. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident, declined to comment further.
South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper, which first reported the case Friday, said the suspect was allegedly drunk and got into a fight with a South Korean over a taxi near the Grand Hyatt hotel in Seoul, where Biden’s team is staying. The individual works for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and is in their 30s, according to the newspaper.

DHS oversees the Secret Service, whose agents in the past have been involved in unruly behavior while being detailed overseas. The White House referred questions to the Secret Service, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Biden arrived Friday for the first visit to Asia of his presidency, kicking off a five-day tour aimed at underscoring his administration’s diplomatic and economic commitment to the region in the face of a rising China.

I think Sgt. Sexoffender was one of Sgt Slaughter's late-career heel turns.

I couldn't think of another S word to mix with Sexoffender to insult the security officer.

The DHS/Secret Service has been having these issues for a few years, now. This isn't something on the administration, especially not any one in particular. I can remember some news about these folks being unruly back to at least the Obama administration.

Good thing he wasn't in North Korea because he would have ended up in a concentration camp.
The Biden administration continues to be an embarrassment.

Just because it's happened before, does not mean it isn't an embarrassing issue for the administration. At what point does it become serious enough to remedy the problem?

I can't really blame this on Biden. I can't think of anything the administration can do before the fact.

Well, I believe that they fall under the Executive Branch of Government. If they are so big and unmanageable by the Administration in power at any given time, then perhaps it's time to rethink how we monitor and oversee such governmental agencies?

People do stupid shyt. They have free will. It's how this is handled that matters.
If they violated some "Code of COnduct", then there should be consequences. If there is no "Code of Conduct", then there needs be one. The "buck" is supposed to stop with the President, so how Biden handles it is what I'm looking at.

You mean like something akin to a parliamentary style of government? 
Or maybe Congress actually exerting oversight over the Executive branch like they should be doing?
