    Enjoy your paid vacay officer -- if you get fired over this, don't worry, you can appeal and have your job again, with back pay. Can't let a 10-year veteran go over a little thing like this.

    A Tulsa police officer was arrested Monday on allegations that he sold a police-issued handgun and shotgun to a local pawn shop.
    The officer, Michael Ernie Thompson, 35, was arrested on complaints of embezzlement and two counts of false declaration of ownership, according to jail records.

    Thompson is accused of pawning a Glock .40-caliber pistol and a Remington shotgun at EZ Pawn, 2198 S. Sheridan Road, according to his arrest and booking report. The report alleges that he pawned the shotgun on Oct. 19, 2015, and the pistol on March 23.
    Each gun was valued at $340, the report states. Both guns were issued to Thompson.

    Thompson, a former University of Oklahoma football player, has worked for the Tulsa Police Department since November 2006. Following his arrest, he was suspended with pay, Police Department spokesman Officer Leland Ashley said.

    I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this.

    Let's wait until we hear the Officer' side of this story. Police Officers are innocent until proven guilty.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Aren't they perma-stamped "Property of the City of Tulsa Police Department", or some such?

    And if not, why not?
