Searching for a Definition

I believe the word "Dupnik" should live on in infamy.

For this reason.  And this.

WRSA gives us more reasons.

And recalls a blast from the past.

But wait, as Billy Mays used to say, there's more!

So: How would you define "Dupnik," and would you limit it to a noun?

Last election we can close to replacing the joke who is our county sheriff. Next time we'll do a better job of demonstrating his incompetence replace him with a real law-abiding sheriff.

Dupnik claimed that this was the only time in 2000 warrant executions over 40 years that Pima SWAT used deadly force.

Any way to verify or disprove that?
I can't imagine the band of trigger happy idiots I saw on the Guerena video going 40 years without at least trying to kill somebody.

Dupnik:

n. a treasonous action or stated intention by any public official.

Dianne Feinstain offered another series of dupniks, once again suggesting these gun prohibitions were reasonable.

v. to suggest or attempt any treasonous action, especially when done by a public official

Chuck Schumer only knows how to dupnik and thus must be removed from office.

adj. describing an action or intended action marked by treasonous anti-Constitutional behavior

It is interesting to see Sheriff Dupnik proudly assert that his SWAT team has a low failure rate, when anything other than a zero failure rate is unacceptable when it comes to unjustly murdering people that the police mistakenly perceive to be opposing their use of force.

Urban Dictionary has eight entries for "dupnik", none of them complimentary:
