It's bad enough for a law enforcement agency to be biased. It's even worse for it to be biased and incompetent.
But the latter seems to be an apt characterization of our Federal Bureau of Investigation in the wake of the killings in Parkland, Florida, where, by their own admission, the organization overlooked warnings about the killer that could have saved seventeen students and teachers from mass murder. This is no mere bureaucratic slip-up and the demand by Governor Scott for the resignation of FBI Director Wray is understandable considering the number of dead children in his state.
The incompetence, moreover, is not just restricted to Parkland. It pervades an institution that—frequently blinded by the most rote political correctness—interviewed and then released terrorists who ultimately perpetrated horrific attacks from the Boston Marathon to the Orlando nightclub massacre. (There are several more.)
Those, to be kind, oversights demonstrate aspects of bias mixed with incompetence, but that lethal combination became yet more apparent throughout the Russian collusion investigation. For the last few weeks we have been digesting the nauseating probability that the FBI used a dossier paid for by the Clinton campaign and ginned up by an assembly of creepy political hatchet men and women (Blumenthal, Shearer, Steele, two Ohrs, etc.) with input from various "friends of the Kremlin" in order to spy on an American citizen and, undoubtedly, Donald Trump, before and after he became president.
In other words, the FBI displayed the behavior of a Banana Republic in its bias (well, it's a lot more than that, sadly ) at the same time it demonstrated it's incompetence by doing so in a manner that would so easily—despite their myriad redactions—finally be uncovered.

Some might do tolerably as local police. Some might do as instructors for foreign police. Others need to find a different line of work where it's more difficult to be corrupt and incompetent.
Start over--with a new structure and top 3-5 tiers of leaders.
We can't be worse off in the transition from absent FBI personnel than we have been with corrupt and incompetent ones.
The FBI might be full of PC inspector cluseaus, but they can’t arrest people who haven’t committed crimes, and they can’t follow every person on their alert list.
Incompetence in organizations always comes right from the top down. They are only as good as their top leadership. And we have seen what kind of leadership it has had.
If the FBI field office can’t follow-up on the tip-off, the FBI should have notified the local police and even possibly the school.
Why do we need them?
There are too many rule enforcement services already:
DEA, Marshalls, ATF, Bureau of Prisons, TSA, DHS, FBI, Coast Guard Investigative Service, NSA, CIA, Secret Service, BLM, Park Service Police, IRS Criminal Investigation Division, Veteran Affairs Police, and many others.
Munge them into one and reduce the redundancy.
As yourself, who gave this kid the smith and wesson?
For sure.
You mean the shooter Cruz?
He bought it himself, legally.
“(There are several more.)”
Including interviewing the Sandy Hook shooter, praising him for his intelligence for hacking into a government coomputer system, and letting him go.
interviewed and then released terrorists who ultimately perpetrated horrific attacks from the Boston Marathon to the Orlando nightclub massacre. (There are several more.)
What would Cruz have done if he didn’t have access to social media, take out an ad in the Sunday papers?
If local cops couldn’t find something to arrest Cruz food after 39 calls, why do people think the FBI could?
The FBI/DOJ was incompetent and corrupt before Trump got there. Trump has two of his appointees running these organizations. Sessions and Wray do not seem to be able or willing to clean this mess up. Their only focus is on covering up. Now is the perfect time for Trump to fire Sessions, Wray and Rosenstein. The fact that the left and MSM is trumpeting the incompetence will shield Trump from any political flak. Ultimately the buck for this stops on Trump’s desk. I’m sick and tired of DJT putting my constitution and grandchildren at risk by allowing this incompetence and corruption to continue.
Okay - I asked myself and my answer was I have no idea.
For a start, get rid of 98% of the lawyers in the FBI.
Government ceases when the law ceases.
“........It’s even worse for it to be biased and incompetent.”......
Biased YES, incompetent, maybe not. No doubt there are a number of well qualified within the FBI AND, there are other employees who don’t rise to the standards expected. There are times when those who are not meeting the standards get promoted to the point they CANNOT do the job and eventually are terminated, I believe some of that truly exists within the FBI. I don’t think the entire organization is incompetent but no doubt there are some.
