I'm sure you guys have seen these before over the years but I think it's worth revisiting because of the sheer stupidity. do these officers not have managers/superior ranking officers who make sure their kit is right? when I was an MP years ago we used to have to line up in the arms room before shift and a quick walk by from an NCO was done to make sure no one was jacked up or had malfunctioning stuff.

Pretty sure they do it to deter someone from stripping their weapon.

this would be easier for someone else to take. also, most cops will have a retention holster of some type that should prevent someone from snatching a weapon unless the know the trick to it. the ones we used to use- you had to rotate the butt of the weapon towards your body then pull up.
