OOPSIE DAISY OF THE DAY

Seattle’s thin blue line was left red faced after officers forgot a semi-automatic rifle on the trunk of their patrol car — and then drove around like that for quite some time. A passer-by who snapped the above pic of the unattended AR-15 outside the Roosevelt Hotel brought it to the attention of bike officers who were reportedly “shocked as hell.”
“The department is very embarrassed that this happened,” said Seattle Police Department Sergeant Sean Whitcomb. “We’re incredibly grateful to the person that flagged down the bike officers and the woman who followed the patrol car around to let them know there was a rifle on the back of the car.”
According to Whitcomb the incident didn’t violate any laws, but “most certainly shouldn’t happen at a police department level.”
