Jesus. Wacked out his gourd dreaming of gay cults.
This is a dude who was trusted to enforce laws lmao.
He was already on leave following an incident in December, 2023 when he was arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills.
So he's just one of us, then
No education or psychologic profile needed to be a cop. Just follow the rules of the blue wall's cult and you're good to go.
was?

Sounds like he was outright delusional, and it very much feels like these two events are joined at the hip.

Uh huh. And I bet he wasn't forced to take a field test and/or blood sample like any non-cop would in the same situation. Thin blue line privilege to avoid a DUI.
He was on leave. Can you imagine being caught with 20 Xanax pills, never mind crashing the company car, just being caught with the pills, at any other job and just being put on leave?
If it didn't happen at work and it was a first time offense, I could see a company putting him on a leave of absence pending completing rehab or something similar. A lot of companies have started viewing drug abuse as a health issue and will work with their employees a little bit. I don't think they generally give many chances though
Schizophrenic— and a cop— allowed to have a gun while on leave— after being caught with Xanax.
I just hate how every time I get a rideshare I have to stay on my toes. Is this gonna be one of the gay kidnappers? How about this one? He looks gay for sure! Better shoot him.
The gay panic defense is back? Everything old is new again.
I wonder why "oh no sir, please don't take me to a gay frat house where hard bodied college boys will cum all over me!" Popped into his head? Dude clearly has issues with his own sexuality

throw the book at this loser.
Wow. What kind of paint must one drink to get that delusional?
I hope they turn that police department upside down for not noticing that they had a complete basket case running around with a uniform and a gun.

I believe the colour is "meth"

They won't, and if he was, say, abusing stimulants, his coworkers probably worried, yeah, but "reporting would mean the end of his career" so they just cover for the abuser until something like this happens. And then pretend they never noticed anything and act shocked and make promises as to how it'll never happen again, while doing literally nothing about the problem.
Oh yeah, because that's what they always do when police shoots innocent people for idiot or racist reasons
That your police system is inept to self-reflect and that there are no real external control factors to curb this kind of behavior is one big chunk of the American police problem.
You will need a change of the whole police system in the US and bring it up to (civilized) world standards. For that, You'll need the right politicians. Voting for better ones on local level could be a start.
'Allegedly'; can't discount the possibility that they could have tripped onto a bullet, can we? /s
After convicted, it's gonna feel like it came through.
