I think it's funny that Penny Arcade just put this up today:

Dark Portents From The Wizard's Orb - Penny Arcade

Videogaming-related online strip by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. Includes news and commentary.

www.penny-arcade.com

No commentary yet but, I think, it's going to echo the OP's sentiments.

Didn't you know? The Pinkertons are the bad guy because of something their company did in the 1800s! They're the bad guys in a video game where you play upstanding bank robbers and outlaws after all. Then, back nearly a hundred years ago they were hired to break up some unions.

Obviously they are jack-booted thugs, they're PINKERTONS!!!

A friend of mine worked part time for Pinkerton Security. All he did was walk around empty office buildings checking locked doors. I don't think Pinkertons means what people think it means.

(off topic) The only Pinkerton that gets my unapologetic vote is Riley Pinkerton, frontwoman of the band "Castle Rat".

He must not have opened the door with the riot suits and stun batons if he was able to talk about it.

Ehh. Pinkertons have earned their rep and generally maintained it. But this is off-tangent.
