x2…
I don’t know if I am impressed that Nagin didn’t have his finger on the trigger or dismayed about how he is trying to whole hand the grip.
Good thing Nagin got out of town and didn’t have to use the rifle 
Bambi needs a spanking.
I’ve seen number 3 personally, working at the club. Hilarious but gross at the same time.
I see a recruitment poster. Then again I remember the 80s. The only difference would been instead of a waitress uniform it would have been a CHP uniform. Remember those posters of high end sports cars as police cars with hot office women in them? There has to be more to it then just this picture.
…
This would complicate the situation:
There’s some info on page 3 that doesn’t help either: “… a Midland S. O. issued AR-15 weapon.” So … I gotta wonder , does the Midland Sheriff’s Office routinely carry empty magazines in the trunks of their cars?
Does this kind of thing happen in the parking lot of the Ugly Stick Saloon in Fay-ville , Carolina? Or do people who go there and work there have more sense?
I have never even seen the place , just heard a little bit about it.
Short leash.
Hell 20 years ago all that would have happened is the guys would talk about her rack and ask for the negatives to make copies.
Now to many men have handed their wife their balls and they are kept safe in sound in purses throughout this nation.
You can see a man and tell if his wife has a purse or a oversized scrotum to carry her husbands balls in.
Nowadays the tolerance of a Police Department or other Agency for officer shenanigans that reflect poorly on their employer is non-existent. Do something that the Sheriff or Chief or whatever honcho has to take time to explain away or refute to the press or public and count your career gone before the ink is dry on your termination letter.
Anything that creates a nexus between one’s on duty or off duty actions to the department or agency in a negative manner and you are gone, plain and simple. The “you are held to a higher standard” is now being extensively reiterated at the academies and also strictly enforced.
In that light, a department weapon in the hands of a scantily clad civilian, on the back of a marked cruiser at an establishment that served alcohol would go over like a fart in church when ANY honcho heard about it. Chiefs do not like to be embarrassed.
i just think safety should be the issue if it is a patrol rifle it is prob loaded obvy that the mag is in mag well and a person probally not trained at using it after all oooll bambi is use to being on the other side of the gun
her rack thats a good one saying her name is bambi
This story is now on Inside Edition. lol
This whole deal makes me sick to my stomach. A off duty Police Officer called and reported the Deputies. WTF?
Round Rock PD responds and calls a freakin Investigator out. What the hell is wrong with this picture? What law was broken?
The seize a digital camera from another agency? Jeeeez
If thats how Fellow LEO’s are treated there, then its a very sad day for our profession. All of the complaintaints were police officers. It is a shame that any one of the idiots didn’t walk over there and ask them to use better judgement. I can’t believe that those asshats did that to their brothers. That very stupid decision will come back and bite them one day. I doubt many of their co-workers will ever trust them again.
This is a very sad day in LE. We are suppose to take care of each other, not do this stupid chit.
This is exactly why civilians need to be more and more weary of LEO. Such thinking (or more accurately group think) is what leads to the corruption of our institutions and those who work in them. Let’s see, intoxicated deputies with loaded guns handed to gal for picture? I too think firing the man was extreme (though it’s probably the last straw with this guy) but imputing the motives of the guy who had the sense to call in this silliness?
:):D:):D:):D:)
…lol. like the 4 cops who “took care” of their bretheren when officer #5 had accident #9 in a patrol car(yes 9 accidents in a patrol car, who knows how many total)…by blaming it on the lady the cop hit.
take care of people who deserve it. not just cause you wear the same uniform.
whoops.
cops ratting out other cops is just another sign that we’re way too authoritarian. even cops feel some driving need to snitch to big daddy on their brothers. i’m really not a big fan of LE in general, but i would expect cops to “look out for” other cops, just like any other human being watches out for his own kind.
police corruption and brutality isn’t even on my radar for complaints against cops… it happens, sure- but that’s old-school shit. today’s problems with LE are totally different.
couple drinks after work, some hot chick showing attention… that’s not “corruption,” guys.
and Swatdawg- you seem like an OK guy. when i rip on LE, i’m not ripping on any-and-all cops, just the majority.
None of your business… after all, it didn’t really happen.
BTW, lambast me all you want. I just try to finish each shift knowing I did the right thing , which doesn’t include ruining people’s lives (whether they are LEO’s or just decent people in moments of indescretion).
You have to remember that even at the county level, the department boss is “political”. Elected, appointed, whatever, they owe their job to patronage, one way or another. Add to that the vogue trend the past dozen years for “citizen review boards” and you have a two pronged, no BS, slant against anything at all that reflects bad on the department. Managers are under pressure to report nothing negative up the chain and those managers at the top will kill any embarrassing situation before that review board can get their law enforcement hating little grubbers into it. A cop screws up in some little way? He’s gone before anyone can get wind of it. It his or her indiscretion is aired publicly then firing him or her shows the review board and the public how “on top” of the situation the Chief or whoever is. Like I said before, the situation now is one of no tolerance. As for the “good old days” of covering for a co-worker or letting someone from the neighboring jurisdiction slide, they are long gone. You are more likely these days to go down with him if you try. These days it is lonely behind that shield. The public hates you, your bosses don’t support you; you are screwed no matter where you turn.
Was what this dipstick did a firing offense? Maybe ten years ago he’d have gotten a pass but not anymore, those days are long gone.
You have some good points here. Systems corrupt, and current LE (along with the whole “broken Justice system”) is the real problem.
Looking out for your own kind, yes in the main it is a virtue and not a vice. Yes, the punishment does seem extreme.
Still, one sees the downside of this sort of thinking with incidents like the cover up mentioned.
Not sure where I fall on this actually. I think it comes down to “whats the trend?”. The trend in this country is for increased LEO involvement in “average joe” life, with ever increasing forms of privacy invasion and deterioration of liberty (like 2nd amendment rights). Fact is, for most folks LEO’s are at best a tax man, and far too often a form of power play and invasive measurement by the government. So part of me is happy to see the system turned on those who would actually make a career of it.
Still, I think you are right in that higher virtue is to stick with ones own when it is something that is not actually harmful. Of course, loaded weapon being handled by intoxicated folks? That may or may not cross the line, depending on the situation. I think in this case is was good fun.
You convinced me…
