Come on, have you never.... Ok, you got me, I have nothing to come back with. Both instances were pretty stellar examples of failure to maintain control of your assigned firearm, which is a pretty big pet peeve of mine.
Smuggling meds in (or out) for that matter, and selling them is not a lapse in judgement, it is a willful decision to commit illegal acts.
Smuggling in meds that a family member needs and you were able to obtain through shady means is still a willful decision, but one with mitigating circumstances, that *may* be able to pass off as a lapse in judgement (not really, I am just using that as a comparative for something more understandable).
The overall premise that someone smuggling in meds and selling them is a lapse in judgement for a LEO, is BS on the face of it. I am actually a bit flabbergasted that the spokesperson has presented it this way, it is perhaps one of the least compelling statements of defense I have ever seen.
Union rep, what's surprising about that remark. I agree that his statement flies in the face of reality.

Should result in a harsh outcome. Loss of job is not too severe in my opinion.
