If the circumstances for two instances are identical but one parent is a police office, the chances of the 'civilian' parent being charged with something is much higher. IMO

The little window on this kind of thing afforded by the MSM, seems to bear that out. The cop, statistically speaking, won't be slapped as hard for a mishap as will a honest-but-careless nonpolice gun owner. The latter is much more likely to find himself or herself a non-gun owner in short order. Police unions might have some role in this "comedy."
