We're the Only...Ahhh, Shoot, They're Out of Paper...

The city's police chief left his loaded service pistol in a restaurant bathroom last month and didn't realize it until another officer returned the gun to him.

When he realized his mistake, Chief Bob Deutsch wrote an e-mail to the entire department stating what he had done. He then wrote himself a written reprimand.

Don't you wish you could write yourself up when you screw up on the job?

Bad me. Bad, bad, bad...

I do wonder what punishment the Chief would have gone for had one of his employers, that is, one of us tax cows, done the same thing. Think it would have resulted in a reprimand, with public endangerment charges waived...?
