That's some powerful stupid.

Well, some local private security company will soon have a new, highly qualified applicant to consider.

SCORE!

Sure that's an assault rifle? Looks kinda shotgunny to me. :?
edit) My mistake, it's a rifle. One of those scary Black Rifles you hear about. :D

A State trooper in PA once left his "rig" hanging up in a bathroom stall at a local truck stop/all nite restaurant. Made it down the highway about twenty miles or so before he realized he felt kind of naked. Went back to get it and it was GONE.

As I've gotten older I've gotten better at leaving things that don't belong to me alone. That however...

Fired.

Sucks, too, because really anyone could do that. One simple bit of absentmindedness...

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.

My former next door neighbor is a cop in Harlem. One day while he and his partner were attending to some kind of street disturbance, somebody sneaked into their patrol car and stole his lunchbox.
We got him a shirt that says , I "heart" lunchbox. That was pretty funny, and we still bust his chops about it.
Had someone grabbed the 12 gauge of the dashboard and started shooting, that would have been not funny.

Thia aint like leaving your early morning mochachino soy latté on the roof of your car, It'a fucking M-16.

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.

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. :wink:

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.

If she hadn't left her M16 on the back of her car she could have shot him!

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. :D

Police Intelligence?

Sorry, I'm still miffed after the G-20 summit here last year.
