If the top leadership sneers at the law and the people, why would we expect different from the ones they lead?

Only Free Republic would make this information available outside of local news. The MSM will NOT report this stuff.

I am real sure the ATFe agent will get a real stern verbal warning.
Well, maybe a stern warning
Umm, maybe a warning?
Right, a commendation.
This is the ATFe, a ster of the Just-us Dept.

If this is a repeat offender bureaucrat thug. If he pulls over the wrong person in Alaska, eg off-duty cop, his bones may wind up being found after a long Alaska winter with most of him being gnawed on by a hungry polar bear

All hail big government, there is more to come as the beast grows larger, s/. Their are always individuals that will abuse the authority granted them by law.

The three drivers can thank the Good Lord that they were only passed and not killed.

This article is SO naive. The ATF is well known for this sort of behavior and far wrose. Yet Congress just can’t bring themselves to pull the plug.

I’m sure PETA would object to the polar bear abuse in that case.

This would be a guy that I’d draw in for a drug test. With his behavior....decent odds that he’s on something.

Even if the BATFags were the best behaved bureaucrats in the entire Fedzilla, the bureau should still be abolished. It should be no more than the alcohol and tobacco tax division at the Treasury Department.

Allowing the Ursine to consume toxic waste is animal abuse. I am always careful about what my dogs eat.

Disagree, the entire thing needs to be disbanded...everything. Only those functions that are critical to perating govt should be retained and given to other agencies. None of the agents or employees should be transfered as part of the disbanding. Most should be investigated for criminal activity. None should be allowed to have another position in LE ever or law ever.

ATF: We’re sorry for this incident. We thought the driver was Mexican and drug connected. We only wanted to sell him a machine gun and rocket launchers. Please accept our humble apologies.

I like the bumper sticker, “ATF should be a convenience store not a Federal Agency!”

“they conclude that officers consider themselves a special class, above the ordinary rules of society and the law”

Yes, yes they do.

Dang, driving my NWS vehicle to the store (less than a mile) is a firing offense, if caught.

I’m sure President Trump along with a Republican House and Senate, will abolish the ATF. /sarc
