Troubled CIA Op Busted in Fight Over Parking Spot

(Newser) – You might want to cross the street to avoid Raymond Davis: The CIA operative—who last made headlines after causing a diplomatic furor between the US and Pakistan after he killed two Pakistanis he said were trying to rob him—is in trouble again, this time in Colorado. Seems authorities were summoned to an Einstein Bagel yesterday morning, where Davis was fighting with another man—over a parking spot. Davis was booked on charges of third-degree assault and disorderly conduct, reports the AP.

Victim Jeffrey Maes tells KMGH-TV: "He literally parked his car behind me and started shouting at me and I says, 'You need to relax'. And he got out of the car." Maes said his 6- and 8-year-old daughters started to cry. "I thought to myself, he's a pretty tough guy. I guess I'm somewhat grateful there's five men that broke it up. I've never been knocked out. But to get hit over a parking spot. That's kind of ridiculous." Click for more on Raymond Davis.

Strength under control I think is a good, uh, motto to have here. I think all people should bear that in mind. Even if they're strong, they should have it under control. - Jacqueline Maes, victim's wife

I met a CIA contract agent once that was also a very very unstable individual. Almost scary. They do background checks on these nuts ?'

This guy needs to be taken off the street, and he may be soon, and taken through a period of deprogramming. He's a live wire.  I'm not saying that he wasn't the right guy for the task, what ever he was trained to do, but he's a danger to society and himself now.  You got to feel for these warriors.  <:-)

The problem might be the fact that this man was in a battle zone for sometime. I would think, like soldiers in a war, it will create PTSD in agents as well.  Not that this is an excuse for violence but raises a question. Did they helped this man after he came back home. Sounds like they didn't
