Multiple Loaded GLOCKS Found in Capitol Hill Bathrooms; One Discovered by 8-Year-Old Tourist

In the past few months, the Capitol Hill Police has recorded at least three instances where their officers accidentally left their loaded Glocks in bathrooms — WAIT, HOLD UP, WHAT?!

Roll Call, which broke this mindblowing tale of stupidity, reports that two of the guns were found in the Capitol office complexes itself: one in the bathroom of the Capitol Visitors Center, casually wedged into a toilet seat cover dispenser. One was reportedly picked up by an 8-year-old boy touring Speaker John Boehner’s office with his parents. (Let’s repeat that: An 8-year-old tourist found a Glock in Boehner’s office.) The third Glock was discovered casually chilling in the open at the Capitol Police headquarters building.

This is how casual we’re talking about, by the way:

The alarming part is that these are the only three incidents Roll Call knows about, since the Capitol Police “are not required to disclose such incidents.” Their sources indicated that forgotten Glocks were commonplace: “None seemed surprised, and two offered other examples of officers who were investigated for leaving their guns unsecured or unattended.” So far, only one of the officers has been reprimanded and placed on a six-day suspension without pay. The other two incidents are still under investigation.

It is quite possible that the Capitol Police Department was having an Easter Egg hunt, except instead of plastic eggs full of candy and temporary tattoos, they hid shiny Glocks that lack traditional safety mechanisms, are constantly cocked, and will immediately fire when the trigger is pulled. We guess that’s how policemen tasked with guarding our government’s security celebrate Easter?

I’m at work and can’t watch the video. Is it the one by MrColionNoir?

[Veggie Todd]

Try the veal. It's the best in the city.

Capt. McCluskey: I frisked him. He's clean.

Hey dip stick, you’ve not insulted me publicly for my faith today. What’s up fingers sticky from porn?

[USNBandit]

That was about the first lesson I got taught in firearms training. If you have to go poop while carrying concealed, put the gun in its holster in the crotch of your pants.

““casually wedged into a toilet seat cover””

Isn’t it supposed to be safely duct taped inside of the tank?

[Yo-Yo]

No, it’s by The Yankee Marshal.

If you have any trouble, yell and I’ll try to come in and get you out. Clemenza, you gotta work fast. Send somebody up there to plant the gun.
They got an old-fashioned toilet with a space between the water container and the wall. Have your man tape the gun behind there. Mike, after they frisk you in the car and find you’re clean, they won’t be too worried about you.
In the restaurant, wait a bit before you excuse yourself. No, better still, ask permission to go.
Act a little in trouble first, very natural. They can’t figure anything. But when you come out again, don’t waste any time. Don’t sit down again at the table, start blasting. And don’t take chances.
In the head, two shots apiece, and out as fast as your legs can travel.”

Sonny had been listening judiciously. “I want somebody very good, very safe, to plant that gun,” he told Clemenza. “I don’t want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hand.”

When someone like you gets obsessed with a total stranger on the internet and calls them names, it's a pretty good sign you have some mental stability issues or anger issues.

Please seek help. If not for yourself, do it for your loved ones that are suffering from your mean-spirited demeanor and attitude.

I'll pray for you.

Oh Heavenly Father, please help my FReeper FRiend find inner peace so he may live a more peaceful life in which to serve you.
Amen

Ah!
Another of my subscriptions.
I know he’s a lib, but he cracks me up.

[Secret Agent Man]

I would bet the Capitol bathrooms are clean.

I would bet the cops can get into whatever bathrooms they want, if some are better than others.

[Talisker]

Well said.

Some years ago a co worker was working on an outside cable job in Salinas CA and during a lunch break went to lunch in a small restaurant. When he sat down in the booth he noticed a small fanny pack lodged in the crease of the seat cushions. He opened it and found a Salinas PD badge/ID & as well as what seemed to be an UC officers back up weapon.

He ate his lunch figuring the owner would come screaming back to get his weapon. No such luck. He called the local PD and they sent a car to retrieve the fanny pack but not before he removed the ammunition and kept it. What were they going to do claim they lost a loaded weapon. The officer who picked it up appeared embarrassed took the weapon and quickly left.

Again, with the insults. You really should seek some guidance.
I'm sorry that you're offended by something a total stranger said to you on the internet. I'm sorry your loved ones have to walk on eggshells around you to keep you from going off on them.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

Were the “officers” fired for this? If not...why not?
