LEO's are supposed to go through extensive psych exams. Either someone royally dropped the ball on this one OR their background process doesn't work. At some point, our society REALLY needs to stop sweeping mental illness under the rug!!

I can think of at least 3 former Leo's that may have slipped through, the guy Dorner in Cali, the guy that killed multiple wives in Illinois, and the one in Wisconsin who was just arrested after his victims were found stuffed in suitcases. Some people are able to hide their mental problems to the point they start to think they don't have any.

Its probably not that hard for a functioning psychopath to know what not to say during a psych exam or around their co workers. Look the drug addicts and alcoholics who can still show up for work on time and get their jobs done.

He cited two U.S. Supreme Court cases as important to his ruling — the 2008 opinion striking down the District of Columbia's ban and a 2010 ruling involving Chicago's handgun ban.
this pertains to topic how?
