PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia's first transgender police officer is in a lot of trouble after she is accused of shooting near another officer during firearm's training.
Police officials will only say that officer Maria Gonzalez has been reassigned to desk duty because of an incident that internal affairs is investigating that allegedly happened Friday night at a firing range.
Gonzalez, 57, is scheduled for a sex change operation next summer. She takes hormones and other medication.
Back then, Gonzalez told NBC 10 in January that she notified her police department about her life change and her officers were supportive.
"All I ask is that they tolerate me and accept me," she said then.
Gonzalez is accused of mishandling firearms and putting other officers in danger.
According to sources, Gonzalez was training other officers at the police academy firing range Friday night when she got into an argument with Officer Marie Schmidt, a 17-year veteran of the force.
Gonzalez allegedly took Schmidt's gun out of her hand and fired a round at the ground, then fired another down range.
Noting the dangers of firing into the ground, police reassigned Gonzalez and she was checked into a hospital for evaluation.
NBC 10 spoke with Schmidt briefly. She was upset and would not talk about the incident.
Can't tell from the story, but I assume this is/was a he that is trying to act like and become a she.
This is the first one there, so they are getting off to a rocky start.
just out of curiousity, what the hell is that a pic of?
it's scaring me.
Women's Lib, ain't it wonderful?
What an embarassment to officers everywhere. I hope the PD can rid themselves of that thing
I am assuming this was at an outdoor range, but there is no guarantee.
Q: How do you make a hormone?
A: Don't pay her.
Sorry, but I couldn't resist.
Imagine allowing these nutcases to have guns from the taxpayer.
>>All I ask is that they tolerate me and accept me>>
Sure. If so, then why do gays push for things that even normal people do not have? Hmmm?

---Back then, Gonzalez told NBC 10 in January that she notified her police department about her life change and her officers were supportive.---
Yeah, they were supportive of her moving to Borneo.
Sounds like its planning to saw off its shotgun...
I know someone who has the operation done and still have trouble saying she. Btw, also a democrat.
Shameless headline.
The trans part has what to do with this?
Now the police firearms instructor, getting into a argument with another officer and subsequently discharging a weapon into the ground? That sounds like an issue. But I guess it doesn't grab the headlines that way.

No it dosent your right, its like when you put the word forward like SEX, just seams to grab peoples attention, I remember doing that so people would close the door on there way out, rather than keep asking them to I stuck up a notice say SEX, asking them to please close the door behind them, realy good idea.
I moaned when I read your post! =:/
Somehow, I think that wanting to have your penis whacked off with a scalpel MIGHT be evidence of mental problems.
Somehow.
Just maybe.
Anyone heard being "not supportive" by the department "PC commissars" would be sent to police Siberia.
As if normal cops could speak freely on bizzarro homo issues! Please!
Why in the heck would any male want to give up the ability to pee outside while standing. On my property, I would never be able to get anything done. LOL
