Don’t they run background checks?

The Commercial Appeal:

A Piperton police officer with a previous felony conviction has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of illegally possessing a firearm.

Patrolman Robert Schmidt of Memphis had worked one day in Piperton before he was indicted, said Piperton Police Chief Carl Hendricks.

U.S. Atty. David Kustoff announced the charge on Wednesday.

It is illegal under federal law to possess a firearm after a felony conviction.

Looks like there is no exception in the law for law enforcement officers.

    unusual but welcome. However, I am still of the opinion that once all time and state supervision is completed, full rights of citizenship should be restored. If the miscreant is not deemed worthy of such, we have no business freeing him from incarceration or state supervision of one kind or another.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
