When I lived right on the beach in Virginia Beach, I walked out to the beach early one morning and noticed two milk cartons obviously abandoned by someone on the beach.
I have no idea where they came from but I took them back to the house. I still have them.
I have owned several guns which were marked “U.S. Property”. They were perfectly legal to own no matter what the printing said.
The cop should be successfully sued and then fired.
How much longer should his rap sheet get before consequences kick in?
