Florida Cop Threatens to Carry Out Mass Shooting, Not “Red Flagged” and Not Arrested

Tarpon Springs, FL — Since the tragic shooting in El Paso, Texas in which a deranged gunman murdered 22 people inside a Walmart, law enforcement have been making dozens of arrests. These arrests consist of people who have been threatening to carry out a mass killings. One person, however, recently threatened to carry out a mass shooting — twice — and he has yet to be arrested. His occupation is a police officer.

Detective Steve Begren was talking to a fellow police officer last month when he made the threat, claiming that there would be an “active shooter situation” at Tarpon Springs Police Department headquarters if he didn’t get the promotion he wanted, according to the agency.

This was not perceived as a joke by the fellow cop and, in fact, he was immediately worried about Begren’s comments.

“The detective said it was something that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up,” said Tarpon Springs Police Maj. Jeffrey Young.

Begren would later email Tarpon Springs police Chief Robert Kochen and tell him that he was “joking.” However, his fellow cops did not buy it. As the Tampa Bay Times reports, Young said law enforcement cannot ask the public to watch out for “red flags” ― signs of potentially dangerous behavior ― and ignore such a sign under its own roof.

During the investigation, police said they learned that on May 10, Bergren made a similar comment to other coworkers about what would happen if the police department didn’t appoint him to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office’s county-wide drug task force. The comment was also made “in a stoic manner,” the agency said.

This isn't the first time, he needs to be LOCKED UP NJW

Police are supposed to pass a psyche eval. It's a requirement.

Still according the the psychologist who is in charge of all of California's prisons' mental care, fully half the candidates who failed their psych eval were ultimately hired as cops or prison guards.

The person who approved or forced their hiring should personally be sued for any harm the sociopath they gave a badge and gun does.

It's no more reasonable to give a man who "has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder" authority over any woman driving down the street than to throw an enraged rattlesnake into a kindergarten!

Yup, red flag laws are only about disarming the general populace.
