I have no love for ATF or their tactics but those two cops are straight out of Idiocracy.
I guess it’s just a case of karma.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Armed man say’s “I’m a federal agent”, refuses to obey any instructions, and wants to reach into his pockets for an ID? Gets increasingly belligerent? And is there by himself?
Typically that should have been a two man job. Him being there alone is even more weird.
He was either arrogant as a fed, or was exceedingly poorly trained.
They go to a 911 call about someone trying a home invasion. They arrive and find a solo guy who is armed and won’t do a single thing they say but says he’s a Fed.
Believing that on face value from an uncooperative man is a good way for a cop to wind up dead. And every plainclothes guy knows that fact *in spades*.
This tells me ATF and other FLETC types are constantly being told they are somehow superior to local police and to carry that movie mentality.
Wow - just...wow.
You’re insane. A Federal agent should already have his badge out and waving it at the officers as soon as he saw them coming. That guy is a poster child for what’s wrong with these alphabet agencies. He should never have been hired in the first place. He’s an arrogant thug. That’s the problem. He got a reality check.
