   Yeah, I guess OPD's spokesman is trying to tell us to expect alot more   
   officers misplacing their weapons in the future, eh?   
      
   I didn't even go through the police academy, and I am ALWAYS aware of where   
   my weapon is.  What's the trained officer's excuse?   
      
   Weapon retention is a required training point still, correct?   
      
   Do they only keep track of their loaded firearms when they're on the job,   
   and forget all about it in a dark theatre, or packed auditorium full of   
   children?   
      
   These officers maybe don't deserve disciplinary measures, but I hope their   
   law enforcement careers are over.  I'd not want them working under my watch.
