An Attleboro police detective faces several criminal charges after he allegedly fired a gun into the bottom of a canoe that his friend and brother were aboard. James Miller, 52, is charged with two counts of felony assault with a dangerous weapon, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, disorderly conduct, and disturbing the peace, court records show.

And that is why, if Massachussetts had it’s druthers, only the “Only Ones” would be trusted with guns.
It looks like the Commission order just covers surrendering his department-issued firearm.

I wonder what would have happened for using your privates on the job in the private sector?

Swatting Justice Barrett Was a Threat, Not a Prank… “Just made contact with security that’s on scene,” a male officer says. “They should be outside in an Explorer. He said he hasn’t heard anything. We’re just going to meet up with him first, just to go over anything.” [More]
And if your armed on-scene 24/7 security detail is you…?

Minneapolis police chief resigns after interfering with an investigation… O’Hara … was under investigation on accusations that he was engaging in intimate relationships with city employees. [More]

California’s $7 Million Police Transparency Website Missing Cases Post 2024 – A police transparency project based out of the University of California Berkeley started off strong but has since fizzled out as law enforcement fights the release of records. [More]
To borrow one of their interrogation techniques, if they’re not doing anything wrong, what have they got to hide?
