Lose your rifle, lose your job. Simple as.

Zero tolerance is never good. But this example of stupidity should have at least lose the officer his gun privilege and relegate him to a desk job.

Are you saying you have zero tolerance for zero tolerance?

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LoL.. intolerant of intolerance.. but yeah.

Life is messy and hardly ever black or white. Zero tolerance is just lazy leadership.

I can think of a few things that are appropriate to have zero tolerance for, and I would also agree getting to that point is the result of bad leadership.

Sounds like this guy was stupid and is quite lucky no one was harmed. (If the magnets manipulated the gun in a certain way, it’s possible for it to have misfired.)(on second thought people were harmed by the loss of the MRI.)
