Absentmindedness? We're not talking about forgetting to attach the new cover sheet to the TPS reports here (despite having repeatedly gotten the memo), that is a deadly weapon and should be treated as such. Leaving it unattended is totally unacceptable, had it been stolen and used to commit a murder I can conceive of this office being held criminally liable. Gunshops cannot distribute weapons randomly, neither should the cops.WeAintFoundShit wrote:Fired.
Sucks, too, because really anyone could do that. One simple bit of absentmindedness...
Failing to secure your weapon, especially in that manner is pretty damn serious. While I'm sure the police union will appeal the termination (negligence vs. gross negligence issue), this guy isn't getting a real job back anytime soon. Even if he's back with the force, he's likely to end up as Officer Milkbox or some other shit job pushing papers.WeAintFoundShit wrote:Fired.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. Still, it sucks. I mean who HASN'T forgotten something important, or done something dumb when they had too much on their mind? (Un)fortunately, something as serious and dangerous as a locked and loaded assault weapon comes with higher standards. Higher standards don't change reality, though, and people still do slip up. If that wasn't true, then most of us wouldn't ever need to wear helmets.goose wrote:Failing to secure your weapon, especially in that manner is pretty damn serious.

Oh, yeah, uh, I mean Yes. Yes! Yes of course. When I said, "SCORE!" I meant. "Here is a wonderful opportunity for me to perform a spontaneous act of civic duty." You know, do some good service for the greater good by keeping that Evil Black Rifle out of the hands of Bad People.Ames wrote:I'm with RM on this one, I'd have to take it just because I'd be stopping someone less (ahem) responsible from taking it.
