We&#8217;re not talking a few handguns here, 27 of the weapons were scary and black, 15 were sniper rifles, 12 were grenade\/tear gas launchers and one was a submachine gun. I guess we&#8217;re lucky that police don&#8217;t get crew-served machine-guns and mortars. According to the Mercury News, 192 of those weapons were stolen and 35 were misplaced. The rest just can&#8217;t found;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[T]his news organization surveyed more than 240 local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and discovered an alarming disregard for the way many officers \u2014 from police chiefs to cadets to FBI agents \u2014 safeguard their weapons.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Their guns have been stolen from behind car seats and glove boxes, swiped from gym bags, dresser drawers and under beds. They have been left on tailgates, car roofs and even atop a toilet paper dispenser in a car dealership\u2019s bathroom. One officer forgot a high-powered assault rifle in the trunk of a taxi.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Funny how I&#8217;d get the vapors if my weapon was even out of reach, but the trunk of a taxi? Really? Someone should tell Congress and they can stage a sit-in until the police in the SF area can always account for their weapons. It&#8217;s not that hard &#8211; even my dumbest private could do that.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the worst part is that it took the death of Kate Steinle in a public place by an illegal alien before anyone gave a tiny rat&#8217;s ass about stolen law enforcement weapons. I wonder if anyone is encouraged to check nationwide, you know, while everyone is so concerned about gun control. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mercury News surveyed law enforcement agencies in the San Francisco area and found that at &hellip; <a title=\"Arming criminals in the Bay area\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=66549\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Arming criminals in the Bay area<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[227],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66549\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
