Bob Owens over at Pajamas Media has done a good job walking through the utter disaster that was Operation Fast & Furious (short version : the US government deliberately let Mexican narco-terrorist groups get their hands on illegally-purchased firearms). But note this paragraph:
The eventual - perhaps inevitable - death of a U.S. Border Patrol Agent killed by criminals armed with at least two "walked" AK-pattern semi-automatic rifles finally shut the program down in December of 2010. The shooting death of an American cop was the final straw for the ATF whistleblower who exposed the program, which may also have contributed to an estimated 150 or more Mexican police and soldier shootings, and many of civilians. Had a whistleblower come forward earlier, all might have been alive today.
Bolding mine. The 150 number also shows up here .
