SF 1811

That was a great piece on Fox today. As a retired ATF agent, I'm absolutely disgusted by the turn of events taking place here. For those of you who are whining about how this site is hurting ATF agents on the street, grow up! Will hiding your heads in the sand really help a damned thing? When are you going to wake up to the fact that the Emperor of ATF has no clothes? Vince Cefalu may not present the 3-piece-police image or message that many in ATF management want to portray, but saying he shows a "lack of candor" is absurd. You know, this never would have happened had those morons running the San Francisco Field Division back around 4-5 years ago not started their personal vendetta against Vince. Yes, I'm talking about you Martin, Gleysteen and others. If we want to talk about presenting a good face, would that be Martin who carries around his pony tail from 20 years ago in his one big case, shows it to all who will look and brags about how much of a bad-ass he was? Or would it be Gleysteen who used to be a straight-up agent until Martin came to town and apparently convinced him to tow the line or else? I only hope that you morons who find the actions of Martin, Gleysteen and others acceptable, finally personally realize what your arrogance and stupidity unleashed when trying to screw with a good agent simply because he didn't buy off on your line of b.s. ATF was a great agency with fantastic, honorable agents. It's really too bad that more of them didn't join the ranks of management thus keeping some of the current cast of characters out of those positions. They are not honorable (despite their self-love). They are fools. And what's really sad is that it's THEIR actions, not those of upright agents like Vince Cefalu that have brought shame on the agency I used to love to work for.
