Chainsaw

All off you that are upset with Chainsaw assumed that I worked for ATF, which I do not. No Vince, I don't have a $100,000 go along to get along gig. I am a local police officer who works very closely with ATF Agents and my salary is only around $45,000 a year. ATF helps us out when the FBI and DEA won't even return our phone calls. ATF has helped our city by taking the worst criminals federally and locking them away for a long time. ATF Agents hit the streets with us, make buys with us and kick in doors with us (with search warrants of course) on a regular basis. ATF Agents are more like street cops than any other federal agency.

Sandy Davis, I didn't say anything about Fast and Furious or Agent Terry. You are the one who brought the Terrys into the conversation. This website was up and running and the ATF bashing was going on long before Fast and Furious ever made headlines. I was simply saying that ATF is stocked with good agents who do good work and also has those of you who arent happy and may be better satisfied somewhere else.

I am grateful for the relationships I have developed with the ATF Agents that I work with. They are a bunch of good guys, unlike the way this website portrays ATF.

I have to agree with ATFSA, you people are doing more to make the entire agency look bad than you are toward getting the management cleaned up. The general public doesn't know any difference between an SES, SAC, ASAC, RAC and a POA. It would appear from reading most of the posts on this blog that ATF is just a bunch of pea-brained rejects who couldn't investigate their way out of a paper bag. I happen to know otherwise and believe that ATF is filled with top notch criminal investigators, who work extremely hard and work better cases which end up with more bad guys in prison for longer periods of time than several other federal law enforcement agencies combined....this is accomplished with a smaller budget and fewer agents than the other federal agencies have. The posts of you discontented employees only serve to give ammunition to those who wish to see ATF go by the wayside. Perhaps none of you have thought of this, maybe the best way to improve ATF would be for those of you who aren't happy working for ATF to quit and find a job elsewhere. Instead of all the complaining and whining, maybe your energy and time could be more wisely invested by getting your resume up to date and applications submitted.
