Escambia County gets to do what they want when they want. Our government is still run off the “good ole boy” motto going back to McNesby, Junior, Childers and Smith. Remove all the “buddies” and there possibly won’t be so much lawbreaking by law enforcers.

The Department of Justice investigating the ATF? Yeah right – what a joke. Seems to me that the Escambia County Sheriffs Office and the State of Florida should launch their own investigation of the ATF’s CRIMINAL activities within this jurisdiction. Why does the federal government get to pick and choose what laws it wants to enforce AND what laws it wants to break?

Apparently, when the DoJ can’t do their job right, they have to set up and arrest mentally handicapped people and kids to pad their stats while Fast and Furious guns kill families.

This sting was paying way more than street price for weapons.
And they let all know that they would not ask where they came from.
So then you have more burglaries by more criminals gathering up guns to cash in.
Did you have some guns stolen to feed this ATF sting op?

Please read the story…..”the ATF used mentally disabled people to promote operations and then arrested them for their work; opened storefronts close to schools and churches, increasing arrest numbers and penalties; and attracted juveniles with free video games and alcohol.”
If they are such great investigators, what is the purpose of engaging in the very unlawful acts they are supposedly there to stop. One has to wonder how much actual crime would be present if the government wasn’t running their “stings”. fast and Furious is a prime example. Nothing like committing a crime then punishing others for your activity and complicity.
Amazing how the gov always seems to use “retarded” people in their schemes then pats themselves on the back for a great job. Really – enticed juveniles with video games AND ALCOHOL?????

DOJ, ATF, SO ~ all Playing Fast & Loose, whether it be shooting or entrapping citizens, running criminal operations to catch criminals, or attempting to keep such activities secret from the public, then patting themselves on the back for clearing each other of any wrongdoing with In-House Investigations & Tomfoolery.

@Citizen, the feds were calling the shots. I am sure that Sheriff Morgan felt that the ATF would be able to competently handle the operation that his office was providing support to.

We all learn something new everyday and I am sure that it is a safe bet that Sheriff Morgan will be keeping an eye on these characters in the future.
