Federal ATF agents in cities across the country reportedly used rogue tactics to go after guns on the street -- allegedly exploiting the mentally ill, buying up weapons for way more than they're worth and letting minors smoke pot and drink.

The details were included in an expose by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which reported earlier this year on an embarrassing set of blunders made by the Milwaukee arm of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The operation in Milwaukee apparently was not a one-off, as officials claimed.

It’s only started...One can imagine what it will be like when the economy ticks down after decades of being artificially prop up.

Well, just look at who is at the head of affairs in THIS country!

We don't exactly have Mr. Squeaky Clean in the WH. What we have is a mentally deficient, malicious incompetent with an ax to grind! Just like A. Hitler was.

That LONG J-S REPORT was investigative journalism at its best. A tip 'o the derby to the reporters.

Take a moment and bookmark this well of information for later arguments.

The every day law abider has no motivation to become a cop because he or she thinks surveillance does not affect them. It is criminals or those strangely afraid of punishment who seek the cop career immunity.

Doesn’t this remind you of the IRS targeting the small group in Cincinnati, Lois Lerner’s thugs? Obama’s administration is appearing more lawless....

The communist tyrant in the Spite House?

Federal Protective Service Police

Hat Tip: http://curmudgeonlyskeptical.blogspot.com

"So, as I was about to park, I saw this vehicle, so I quickly got out of my car and took a picture as it drove by. As the driver saw me do this, he slammed on the brakes, and asked, "Do you have a problem?" To which I replied, "Just taking a picture. Is that illegal now?" He then eked forward a few feet and stayed there in the middle of the road for about a minute and a half until a car approached him from behind, forcing him to move...

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the FEDERAL POLICE FORCE (or Federal Protective Service, or United States Secret Service Uniformed Division as they are also known) we have been hearing about and the actual recipients of all that billions (yes, billions) of rounds of ammunition that is being produced for and procured by the Social Security Admin, The IRS, and other various government agencies for what purpose. They are here, right in Downtown Grand Junction. What is the real purpose of a Federal Protective Service and why do we need them?

Feel safe yet?"

Sorry but no money available - the $900 billion Stimulus money has already been given away.
