    If the item in question the officer allegedly stole was anything other than an iPad, would this story have been posted to slashdot?

    In what way is this story relevant to nerd news. This is a simple crime case that could have happened anywhere, anytime. I expect the usual anti-LEO comments to appear now. Its sad how the editors namely timothy use this space as their own political soapbox.

    Yes, but do those people have "getting shot" on their list of likely risks while on the job?
