Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Imagining one Chief Wiggum-esque cop losing all 23
Cue montage:
Chasing a suspect over a chain link fence, drops gun as he climbs over the top, while hesitating on whether or not to continue the pursuit, a stray dog picks it up in it's mouth and runs away
Peeing in the bushes during a stakeout, pants around ankles. Suddenly called to action, he tries to spring into a sprint, falls on his face because pants are around ankles. He tries again this time with both hands pullin up his pants as he does an awkward high knee jog, camera pans back to gun just on the ground, forgotten
On top of a washing machine at a laundromat. Oblivious cop wearing nothing but white boxers with red love hearts, as if he literally had no other clean clothes in his possession fails to notice the gun inching away from him due to the vibration of the machine, it falls into the gap between machine and the wall
Pickpocketed by a monkey at the zoo
Duct taped to a white singlet, Die Hard style, but the singlet is in a dead mall's lost and found
At a wishing well, cop with a coin in one hand and the gun in the other throws the gun into the well
Pickpocketed by a second, different monkey at the same zoo later that day while hiding behind cover as gunshots, people screaming and monkey cries are heard in the background
Left on top of the squad car, slides off as he turns a corner
Under the seat of a shitty old car, camera cuts to the exterior as it's crushed into a cube
Inexplicably inside a vending machine in between snacks and candy bars
