Keystone cops: Officers leave loaded rifle unattended on trunk of patrol car...then drives away with gun STILL in place

By Daily Mail Reporter


This is the shocking picture of a fully loaded assault rifle left unattended on the trunk of patrol car in a busy Seattle street.

The bungling officers were nowhere to be seen after leaving the AR-15 on the trunk of their patrol car outside a busy hotel and shopping street on Monday night.

Shockingly, after the officers returned, they failed to notice the menacing rifle and drove off.

It was only after a woman chased the car as it drove away, that the officers realised their mistake.

Passer-by Nick Gonzales, who photographed the shocking scene above, also alerted two bike cops after seeing the rifle at around 9 pm Monday night, describing them as being 'shocked as hell'.

8. Some people call it ''holding a grudge''.

Others call it "having a properly functioning memory".

10. I do remember him to be one of those defend-police-at-all-costs type.

I was kind of amazed that he managed to not get booted for so long. There's only so long you can defend the indefensible.

13. Ooooh, that was only the most prominent facet.

Name the subject - unions, healthcare, choice, taxes, GLBT rights, church/state separation... everything.

6. FFS they shouldn't have that kind of hardware to begin with...

I know the issue is political death, but I've long been in favor of heavily scaling back the 'toys' budgeted to local police departments each year...

15. WOW!!! That's just crazy!!!!

I'd take that officer off of the street and make him sweep the police station for 3 months!!!
