The investigation into the theft did not begin until April, seven months after it happened, and three months after Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced that he was not seeking criminal charges against Sheskey in the Blake shooting. Sheskey told investigators he regularly left the weapon in his girlfriend’s locked vehicle, according to a memo from Nosalik to Kenosha Police senior management, WISN reported. Sheskey said he had secure locations for firearms at his Kenosha home, but that he moved after receiving death threats and “did not have an opportunity to provide a safe location inside the home in which he was now living in,” Nosalik wrote.

Do you know what happens when you lose your assigned weapon in the military? UCMJ up the ass, DHD, Leavenworth and of course you’ll never get a civilian job because of the DHD.

More consequences for mislaying his gun, that for recklessly discharging said gun. Tell me there isn't something wrong with this picture!

He left the gun....... in his GIRLFRIEND'S car....... a weapon assigned to a police officer..... left in a girlfriend's car.....

*Benny Hill theme song playing* “Ladies and Gentlemen ... The Cops”

Turns out the police officer whose irresponsible gun ownership did something irresponsible with a gun.

The punishments make no sense. Of course we are not surprised. We see them act immoral as part of their daily job

Hmm. Bigger punishment for losing his weapon than using his weapon to paralyze an unarmed black man. So america, but some shameful shit.

How is this guy a cop

Please learn why this keeps happening. And it’s not just for the reasons you think. Yeah, it’s hatred & racism. But where is it rooted? You won’t be able to fix it without understanding its roots. Crash course in American supremacy.
