Do they have one of those ‘prosecute the owner because their firearms were stolen’ laws there?

I hope and suspect there is a lot more to this story.

He has been suspended with pay pending an investigation.

The police union will defend him until the end...and he will keep his pension.

Well, I’m glad they arrested the “real killer.” We’ll all be safe now!

Since when is New Haven a crime riddled city? I thought it was supposed to be a nice place. When did it change?

[Kartographer]

Clearly it’s time to regulate police officer’s guns or just take them away most are racist and use them to kill law abiding citizens any way! (sarc)

Lots more to this.

Sgt. David Setzer, a decorated 17-year veteran of the department, is expected to surrender to police in New Haven today on charges of illegally transferring or selling firearms, manufacturing bombs, risk of injury to a minor, illegal possession of explosives and illegal possession of an assault rifle.

SIG SAUER is a pretty sweet sidearm for a street thug!
He is stylin' and profilin' and keepin' it way real.

Maybe the COP is the real criminal. Disarm them ALL.

Setzer lives in New Haven and police say some of his personal guns ended up in the hands of convicted felons; the weapons used in five street shootings including last December on Humphrey Street when multiple shots were fired.

Shell casings traced the weapon right back to Setzer who detectives say never reported the gun stolen and even now cannot explain how the guns got into the wrong hands.

“This is just a mistake. We’ll take it up in court,” said Cannatelli.

Setzer has been on the Waterbury force for 17-years and has a spotless record including recommendations. Now, he is suspended with pay pending the outcome of the internal investigation.
