And so Feds REALLY shouldn’t be doing local cop work. Again, not an insult. But fed LE work, whatever the mission, isn’t local police work. Not even close. It’s important & has its place. But local issues ain’t it. Same with the military. There is a reason it’s not done.

The Feds are hugely important in solving fed + local crimes, and in prosecuting these crimes. Can’t overstate how important local US Attorney/FBI/ATF offices are for working with locals on gun crimes. But feds cosplaying as cops in camo isn’t police work. It’s anti police work.
