    He was already on leave following an incident in December, 2023 when he was arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills.

    Sounds like he was outright delusional, and it very much feels like these two events are joined at the hip.

      arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills

      Uh huh. And I bet he wasn’t forced to take a field test and/or blood sample like any non-cop would in the same situation. Thin blue line privilege to avoid a DUI.

        He was on leave. Can you imagine being caught with 20 Xanax pills, never mind crashing the company car, just being caught with the pills, at any other job and just being put on leave?

    I just hate how every time I get a rideshare I have to stay on my toes. Is this gonna be one of the gay kidnappers? How about this one? He looks gay for sure! Better shoot him.

    I wonder why “oh no sir, please don’t take me to a gay frat house where hard bodied college boys will cum all over me!” Popped into his head? Dude clearly has issues with his own sexuality

    ‘Allegedly’; can’t discount the possibility that they could have tripped onto a bullet, can we? /s

    Wow. What kind of paint must one drink to get that delusional?

    I hope they turn that police department upside down for not noticing that they had a complete basket case running around with a uniform and a gun.

        That your police system is inept to self-reflect and that there are no real external control factors to curb this kind of behavior is one big chunk of the American police problem.

        You will need a change of the whole police system in the US and bring it up to (civilized) world standards. For that, You’ll need the right politicians. Voting for better ones on local level could be a start.

      I believe the colour is “meth”

      I hope they turn that police department upside down for not noticing that they had a complete basket case running around with a uniform and a gun.

      They won’t, and if he was, say, abusing stimulants, his coworkers probably worried, yeah, but “reporting would mean the end of his career” so they just cover for the abuser until something like this happens. And then pretend they never noticed anything and act shocked and make promises as to how it’ll never happen again, while doing literally nothing about the problem.
