We usually have our local bike night at Twin Peaks. I like it better than Hooters.

Not surprised he got fired over it, but don't agree with it.

Why don't you agree with it? It was a bonehead move and now he's paying the consequence.

Because I don't see any harm or abuse or power in it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not up in arms about him getting fired.

But why would an officer let someone else have thier weapon? I don't see it as an abuse of power but rather a retarded thing to do.

Because it made for a cool picture and he possibly wanted to get laid by the cute Twin Peaks waitress? Its not like he turned over his only weapon to a raging crackhead, it was just a quick photo op. No harm, no foul IMO.

The cop had 4 or 5 beers in him.

He shouldn't have been handling a gun in public let alone passing it around to wannabe Hooters girls in an attempt to score.

Cops let kids hold their guns all the time. Unload, check to make sure the chamber is clear, and its no more dangerous than a small chunk of metal.

Its only a gun. People love guns. No harm, no foul.

The drinking on the job is the only idiotic thing I see.

Nope NEVER when I was kid. My dad didn't like guns. Didnt own my first gun till I was like 25.

If he were without the beers and let her I would have no problem with it. As long as it's unloaded, big deal. I suppose the cop who let my son sit in the drivers seat of his squad should be fired to.

The thing about this is... many depts allow the officer to take the cars home, so maybe he was just stopping on his way home.
