What would the punishment be if she was a white guy?
yah
What would have happened if someone had found that gun and used it to murder someone?
If I found a pistol in a restroom, no one would hear about it
She should have been filed on for reckless endangerment, then turned over to CPS, my goodness, what if a CHILD had found it?!! Treat her like anyone else, firearm not secured out of reach of CHILDREN. It’s for the CHILDREN after all.
About ten years ago, some guy with a carry permit got sick at a Chuck E Cheese in our area and went to the restroom. He left his loaded pistol in there. Some six year old found it there and carried it back to the ball pit, where it was found later by a three year old. Needless to say, that generated a lot of press.

I would hate to see all my work-related boo-boos published and exposed on TV.

When you do something equivalant to leaving a (presumably) loaded gun in a public rest room you will.
I was a sysadmin at a good-sized N.E. university. If I screwed up, thousands of people noticed. Yow.
Never mislaid a firearm, though.
Firearms issued to LEO’s are registered by serial number. The FBI would search for the weapon once it was reported to them as lost or stolen. Not a good idea to play finders keepers with a misplaced firearm registered to a police department.
In her attention to detail in completing the paper work, she forgot her firearm. Reprimands and corresponding goals can have that effect.
If this was a regular citizen, they would have the book thrown at them.
