JTN: The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department has removed seven officers from a specialized violent crime team after an internal investigation found that the officers were seizing guns without making arrests or pursuing warrants.
“We have a responsibility to make the community safer and that includes taking bad guys to jail,” , police Chief Robert J. Contee said Friday. “While we stress the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions, we have an obligation to hold our members to a high standard in all that they do.” MORE HERE
Desk duty or administrative leave? It looks like the cops investigating the cops are also guilty of not arresting those who have broken laws. The ones being slapped on the wrist are guilty of theft and falsifying reports.
Matt Dillon did that all the time, on “Gunsmoke”.
“I have investigated my associates thoroughly and have found no illegal activity” Al Capone.
In DC as long as the cops keep the bad guys out of the rich areas they have carte blanc to do what they want. ( I hope I spelled that right)
Waste of time on all fronts. Arrest the perps and they’ll be back on the street with another gun (or the same one returned to them) before the cop gets home for dinner.
And, just taking the gun away without arrest, go ahead, we’ll steal more.
This is my rifle,
this is my gun.
This is for shooting,
Sarah’s for fun.
I guess MS13, Bloods, Crips, etc. neglected to make their monthly contribution to the police “widows and orphans fund”.
