THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WHERE ONLY THE POLICE ARE TO BE TRUSTED WITH GUNS: D.C. Police Sergeant Sentenced For Drunken Gun Threat. “Christopher Whitehouse, 51, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault from an incident in March when he pointed a handgun at a friend’s head during an argument at her Cheverly home. . . . According to the charging documents, Whitehouse unholstered a handgun, grabbed the woman around her neck and pointed the weapon underneath her chin. ‘How do you like this bitch?’ Whitehouse purportedly said to her, the records state. Whitehouse put the gun away when the woman’s boyfriend came into the room. . . . Whitehouse was previously demoted in the department for a 2002 incident, in which he pulled a man over while off-duty and intoxicated and was accused of threatening the driver with a gun.”

But remember, they’re trained and professional. Not like you ordinary slobs, who might do something stupid or irrational with a gun.
