You are ignorant for bringing in politics and race into this when it clearly has nothing to do with it. I don’t even want to begin imagining what your parenting is like.

OOOOOOPS

Heckuva job, Virginia. You basically hired the Colorado Springs shooter.

“A Virginia sheriff’s deputy who killed the family members of a 15-year-old California girl he tried to sexually extort online had been detained in 2016 for a psychiatric evaluation over threats to kill himself and his father, years before he joined law enforcement, according to a police report.

That raises new questions about how the man was hired by the Virginia State Police and later by a Virginia sheriff’s office without any red flags. The mental health episode, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, is described in a police report released by the Abingdon Police Department in response to a public records request.”

They hired someone who a judge had barred from owning firearms to be a state trooper.

“The Virginia State Police have blamed Austin Lee Edwards’ hiring on “human error” and an incomplete query of databases. But Settle’s memo provides many more details about exactly what went wrong.

In the document, dated Dec. 30, 2022, Settle confirmed that Edwards had disclosed his 2016 psychiatric stay, and blamed his hiring on the background investigator who handled his application. Although Edwards’ admission wouldn’t have been an “automatic disqualifier” on its own, he wrote, it was a missed “opportunity for clarification.”

“Unfortunately, the error allowed him to be employed, as there were no other disqualifiers,” Settle wrote.

The mistake was due to an arcane difference in the search codes background investigators are supposed to use while screening aspiring cops, Settle wrote. The investigator who handled Edwards’ background check used a code for “applicants” and failed to include one for “firearms,” which would have brought up all Virginia mental health orders.

The correct query would have unearthed any “Virginia mental health orders if one exists,” Settle wrote. As The Times previously reported, Virginia mental health orders for Edwards existed at the time of his hiring.

Police records show that on Feb. 8, 2016, authorities handcuffed Edwards, strapped him to a stretcher and delivered him to a local hospital after he threatened to kill himself and his father. Later that day, a judge approved a temporary detention order, and Edwards was transferred to a psychiatric facility. That order would have shown up in a correct database query, law enforcement experts told The Times.

During Edwards’ psychiatric stay, another judge barred him from purchasing, possessing or transporting firearms, according to court records obtained by The Times. According to the treatment order, Edwards agreed to voluntary admission for inpatient treatment for 72 hours, unless released earlier. He also was advised that his gun rights had been revoked unless restored by a court.”

The LA Times also has an interview with another teenager who Edwards was grooming and stalking ten years ago here: https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-01-08/austin-lee-edwards-groomed-nudes-girl-teen

This isn't an error. It's negligence. I hope the person who did the background check is fired.

Nuts.

Absolutely. It also shows how desperate law enforcement are to recruit that they would cut corners to hire such losers.
