Anyone who has worked for the government can read right through this. Let me translate for the un-initiated...
Eells said Eveleth was nearing the end of his eight-hour shift about 5:15 a.m. Monday when he took the dog to the park. He said the dog had been patrolling with the officer in his car and that Eveleth wanted to give it time to exercise.
Ok now who goes to a city park at 5:00am? Well ah....hookers and drug addicts. This just screams HOOKER.
"Certainly we believe there may be an equipment issue here," Eells said.
Oh Lord Please make this go away. I don't want to have to do all the paperwork to fire this guy.
Eveleth, sat down on a slide and his dog jumped on him.
With pants at half mast...with the holster dragging on the ground, there was some playful mischief on the slide. The gun fell out. Nobody noticed.
He said Eveleth was "quite frankly shocked" when they returned his gun.
OH LORD please don't tell my wife and girlfriend what I did.
(with regard to the civilian who found the gun)..."She handled the situation very appropriately," Lumbreras said.
Nice polite beauracratic talk to quiet down everyone. EVERYONE IS FINE...EVERYONE DID GOOD...EVERYONE GO HOME.
