Please tell me there's more to this story

The photo was taken in 015 but I do not believe that officer works in 015 so most likely a saturation or VRI team. Every cop I have seen in 015 has their rifle properly loaded so the comment about Commander West seems far fetched, but I have been wrong before and I wouldn't put it past a boss to say something like that. I'll also add it is against general orders to have no mag in the weapon or have a spare mag on hand. Chamber blocks are required while being transported only

Anonymous on SCC said she's from 025 and that in the original photo you can see her tag on her car.

This is obviously not a staged photo. Who would want to hire the gal in the background to make this look appealing?

^ I was trying to be nice but thought the same. My god, what happened to pride in personal appearance and the uniform. I never understood fat cops. Letting out the duty belt is not the easiest thing, so when you feel it start to get tight, do something about it! And I don't mean making the belt bigger.

Just look at how pristine that tahoe is in the background... Probably a shoot for a tv show/movie

much worst than this backwards eotech

I'm more worried about the loose shotgun round on top of that guys pouch. if that falls to the ground they could all slip on it and die.

I had to comment on this. That PO is from 025, and no, she isn't a reflection of this department. She obviously needs more training than the 40 hours she had in the Carbine Course. Stressful situations tend to cause these slip ups unless you TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. When **** hits the fan you will fall to your lowest training denominator.
Also, in regards to the comments about the department regulating what weapon you can deploy in certain situations or the ridiculous comments about wanting unloaded weapons in the field are inaccurate.

[Raiden341]

Unloaded weapons in the field is not what was said. Unloaded weapons in the station and around everyone else was what was said. I personally saw it myself. They are not supposed to be loaded in the station according to some bosses.

At least she took the bolt obstructer out? Lol.

At least she took the bolt obstructer out? Lol.

The only reason the dust cover/bolt obstructor would be open would have meant that she tried to load a round into the chamber, thus realizing that there is no mag...
