The purported goal of the operation was to buy 1,500 ecstasy pills, 2 oz. of cocaine, and two handguns, which was contrary to department policy, using $13,000 cash in a buy–bust operation. Hoffman's family stated that all three buys were very out-of-character for her.

This part infuriates me. How incredibly incompetent do you have to be to not see this is a bad idea? Obviously, the dealer is going to be immediately suspicious when their regular weed customer suddenly says “oh by the way, this time I also want to buy a fuckload of hard drugs that I can definitely afford somehow and some guns too because this party is gonna be nutzzz” like how in the actual fuck did they think it was going to play out?
This reminds me of how the idiot Tallahassee Police Department negligently and recklessly arranged a transaction that led to the murder of Rachel Hoffman.
