Nugent carried gun through two separate Michigan Capitol checkpoints, report says

[RandySF]

Lansing — Conservative rocker Ted Nugent cruised through not one, but two separate weapons detection systems while carrying a firearm when he entered the Capitol to testify at a June 25 committee hearing, according to a police report on the incident.

Just after 10 a.m. June 25, Nugent passed through a weapons detection system at the north annex entrance to the Capitol that was staffed by a Michigan State Police trooper, according to a State Police administrative complaint report obtained through a records request.

Nugent passed through the system, according to the report, "along with numerous others at that time."

The weapons detection system functioned correctly, the report said, but the trooper missed the alert indicating Nugent had a firearm.

4. There's never any accountability so why not lie

[Walleye]

5. I really think they are taught to lie as part of their job

Yes, and it doesn’t matter if you catch them in a lie, they’re proud of it. There are no consequences.

11. I have come to believe that that is part of their job description

When we were growing up, they taught us to trust a neighborhood policeman.Ha!! Then I heard Mike Pompeo say, that his code of honor from West Point was really just a bunch of shit. He didn’t follow it at all. it’s kind of like a Raymond Chandler novel, everybody’s lying, especially the people who should be telling the truth

6. Nugent knew it was illegal, so what was his goal?

He had to know he was going thru metal detectors and would (should) be caught. What was the real point of bringing a gun?

Is behind a paywall, so I can't read it.
