Was this in CA? Well then that .....doesn't change a thing. Honestly I think you are going overboard with the "higher class of citizen". What does that even mean? Doctors write scripts and attorneys can issue subpoenas. You want that higher class too? You used the word peon, not me. If that is how you see yourself because you lack powers of arrest..... He is held to a higher standard and I already explained how that works.
I don't follow. Do you have a gun in your car? I have a gun in my car. Of course, I had a couple guns in my squad.You shouldn't have guns in your car.
The article said he was suspended, not fired. Not held to a higher standard. As long as the 2nd amendment rights of cops are infringed less than everyone else we will have this us vs them BS. It hurts everyone.
Can you guess what cops would do to me if I blew .00001 over the limit?
Can you guess what my employer would to me if this occurred in a company owned vehicle. While on the job.
Go ahead. I'll wait.
Uh yeah, they suspend you before they fire you. They like to call it indefinite suspension. Honestly you are not even making sense about the 2A and infringement. It is a definite us vs them mentality here though. I guess as a peon you don't realize that the smg does not belong to the officer. Some agencies allow the smgs to go in a Tactical officer's kit. We did not but I still had a MP5 on call outs.
Wahhhh, I don't get to carry a smg so why does this drunk get one

The company I work for gave a guy 3 times before they fired him. It's hard to get fired from there... they dont like to pay unemployment.
I dunno what they did but from past history with this, they first suspend you (officers usually have some type of association or union) and then that turns to indefinite suspension, ie termination.So did they fire him or not? You claimed they did.
I'm aware the SMG was not his personal property. But the agency (and our govt) thought this person was responsible enough to be trusted with a weapon that most citizens can never dream of owning. And then he got wasted and had to have his windows smashed out. Ant-gun Statists believe the Police should have weapons because they are more trained, more "professional", more trustworthy. Incidents like this are important because they illustrate the falseness and depravity of that thinking.
You don't collect unemployment if you get fired for cause.
What more do you want?
I want equal rights for all citizens.
