Miami police chief Art Acevedo has some explaining to do. The vocal advocate for enacting strict gun control on the rest of America can’t seem to control the firearms in his own police department.

Twenty five AR-15 rifles were reported “missing” from the Miami Police Department, in what some officials are saying is just a matter of administrative record keeping. Miami’s Police Chief Art Acevedo sent a memo to all 1,400 police officers on the force warning them if the rifles weren’t returned by May 17, they would be considered stolen.

Nothing To See Here

“I don’t think this is a theft issue. I think it’s an inadequate check and balance issue, and an inadequate records management and surveillance issue,” Chief Acevedo told media. Still he had a stern warning.

Records, schmecords, If you don't know where the firearms are, you don't know.

They didn't just grow legs and walk away (without help).

It is common when things go 'missing' from the police department, to discover that someone along the way of chain-of-custody sold whatever is gone for cash. The Cops will likely seize these weapons on the street eventually, if they are not already out of State.

Police are just people and like everyone else, they love easy money.

Nothing nefarious, just misplaced paperwork.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

Would this be grounds for a friendly investigation by the ATF?

@Smokin Joe

It must be that,because we all KNOW that cops wouldn't steal guns.

He has endless job opportunities awaiting him after he leaves Miami.  Any Blue State big city would welcome him with open arms.
