    After a few hours of interaction with sworn, as well as unsworn individuals, he suddenly appeared with the holster properly oriented.
    Believe it or not though, later in the shift he did go out on an investigation. When he got back to the squad he realized he'd gone out with an empty holster. G27 in the desk! Was he having a bad day? I'm thinking not- no SA, and constant Condition White...
    It was only a momentary lapse of reason...

    Wow! I think he should apply for a job as a librarian or something before he gets hurt, or gets someone else hurt.......

    It should not be much of a surprise considering he is wearing a white shirt. Most of our supervision has earned the right to be less aware as they spend most of their time in the office or on long lunches. Remember standards have to be lowered so that anyone who wants can have a job in law enforcement, that or he has friends in high places.

    Affirmative action requirements have brought about standards lowering. One example is overlooking some charges(assault is one)if they did not occur within recent years. Deep south departments are loaded down with certified dummies.

    He's not in uniform. He's wearing a white shirt cuz it's business attire. His shoe also appears to be untied. I don't think the old white shirt bosses line applies here.

    Obviously way off topic, but he's not a boss. He's a general service squad detective. Shirt and tie is the uniform of the day for our precinct detective squads and more often than not it's a white shirt...
