in-com-pe-tent (see BATFE) Adjective: Not having the necessary skills to do something successfully. Noun: An incompetent person. ATF's Milwaukee sting operation marred by mistakes, failuresA store calling itself Fearless Distributing opened early last year on an out-of-the-way street in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, offering designer clothes, athletic shoes, jewelry and drug paraphernalia. Those working behind the counter, however, weren't interested in selling anything. They were undercover agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives running a storefront sting aimed at busting criminal operations in the city by purchasing drugs and guns from felons. But the effort to date has not snared any major dealers or taken down a gang. Instead, it resulted in a string of mistakes and failures, including an ATF military-style machine gun landing on the streets of Milwaukee and the agency having $35,000 in merchandise stolen from its store, a Journal Sentinel investigation has found. When the 10-month operation was shut down after the burglary, agents and Milwaukee police officers who participated in the sting cleared out the store but left behind a sensitive document that listed names, vehicles and phone numbers of undercover agents. www.jsonline.com/watchdog/watchdogreports/atfs-milwaukee-sting-operation-marred-by-mistakes-failures-mu8akpj-188952581.html?ipad=y

Oh my God.... I have never ever seen nor heard of such a level of incompetence. That wholevdepartment along will all of the other branches of government need to be shut down. This is insain. My close friend in the ATF said this is just one story that got out because it made public record. He said this is nothing copaired to the stuff he has seen in the past and he also agree's our system needs to be closed and all in it fired and many put behind bars.
