“If I’m guilty of this, every cop in the nation’s going to jail,” Wendt told CBS News just days before a federal judge sentenced him to a 5-year prison term. Wendt’s crimes appear to be part of a nationwide pattern.

JFC, what a non-story.
So we caught 0.00004% of lowlifes selling illegal guns? Over 20 years?! Save you outrage for something real. “Microscopic Percentage of Police Abuse Their Position to Sell Guns”, is not a story. Plenty enough headlines if you leave off the last phrase in that headline.
You’re cherry-picking the data in the article. 26k crime-related firearms in about four years and $100mil of firearms and ammunition in a couple of years for a single DHS department doesn’t seem like nonstory to me.
The real story is that they discovered the crimes and have once again chosen to let the criminals pretending to be police off the hook
The headline being true in any instance is a ridiculous thing to allow happen without any real safeguards or punishments to prevent it from happing in the first place.
Other cops read this line
And think that it’s worth the risk.
“at least” means there are more. “cases” means ones we know about.
How many is the right number of times this should cops be allowed to break the laws that are charged with upholding?
