Markie Marxist sez: “Our people are allowed to make mistakes because they’re our people; private gun owners are not allowed to make mistakes because they’re not our people. Just common communist sense, really.”
to be fair, the officer with the rifle on her trunk did not put it there. Sgt. Bill Collins was cleaning out his car and set it on the car next to him.
Yawn. Raise your hand if you’ve never lost anything of value in a similar manner.
Just as I thought.
I’ve lost two pair of glasses and a coffee cup or two, leaving them on the roof or bumper, etc. A music professor I knew lost a very expensive (thousands of dollars) hand-made flute by leaving it atop his car like that. I once left a cordless phone on the engine cowling of my pickup, but it stayed there for several miles on gravel roads. I found it after I stopped.
Again, forgive me if I don’t share in the freak-out orgy upon discovering that cops are human. I knew that already, see.
Lyle, the difference is that a regular guy would have his weapon seized and would likely be facing charges. In some states his permit to own guns and ammunition would be revoked and he would be up for a felony charge. In this case neither officer will receive anything more than a stern lecture.
Yes, Paul, but they claim that they are Special, and “only ones”, so when they fall from the perfection they claim to have, it is our civic duty to point at them, and laugh!

Reminds me of the cop who left his 25 lb. service belt, including his Glock, Taser, etc., in the pottie.

Sorry about the error on the weight of the service belt.
Maybe some law enforcement type can tell me what they usually weigh.

Is this what they mean when they say they want to get guns off the street?

Chas,
Stated more precisely, the employers may not make mistakes, but their employees may make mistakes with impunity??!!
Thus we have capitulated to and inverted insanity which has become blatant criminality.

Cool! Free gun!

I’m with Kris here. Oh, I’d prolly give it back, after shooting it a whole bunch and then not cleaning it, and maybe leaving it out in the rain some.
June 29th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Yup, the “only ones” whom we should all emulate when it comes to firearm safety, proficientcy, and responsibility….

Cops are human to. They make the same mistakes. They get pissed off like anyone else. They get drunk like anyone else. Why they ARE like anyone else.
So why does it shock people when they find out they are humans and sometimes they fail.
Yes the cop goofed up. But it’s the press that will hide things that don’t go by their cherished narrative.

How did it go in that video? “I’m the only one here professional enough that I know of to handle this gun.” *BANG!!*
