[edit] Removed Non-POV tag
I removed the non-POV tag for two reasons. First, there was no discussion on this talk page as to why it should be there in the first place. Second, as the references show, the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency was notorious for its use of violence against labor union supporters. Asking for a "balanced" view of the Baldwin-Felts agency's work would be similar to asking for an article on Nazi deathcamp guards to talk about the good work the Gestapo did. There may have been isolated instances in which Baldwin-Felts agents prevented violence or destruction of property. But, on the whole, the agency is best-known for its brutality and general thuggishness, and its role in the Hatfield and Matewan tragedies. - Tim1965 15:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
