Looks like Bloomie needs to take care of things at home before he tries to get his nose on somebody else's business.

In Bloomies' world, the guns are the cause of the theft. If there were no guns, there'd be no guns to steal. Did I say that right?

He allegedly confessed to investigators that he stole the guns to support his drug habit.

That is about right. I think you got it first go.

Why didn't he just steal the drugs instead?

It looks like he didn't have access to drugs, so he stole what he could.

Five of the firearms involved in the trafficking network allegedly came from Mina. The 31-year-old officer allegedly stole four of them from his colleagues' lockers at the Ninth Precinct station house in the East Village.

A six-year veteran of the force, Mina was part of a 24-hour security detail and had been assigned to guard the lockers after a series of thefts that included bulletproof vests, cash and an iPad along with the guns.

See its not even safe for the police to have guns, as they will sell them to criminals. I think the police in NY should not have guns because of this. That's the only way to make it safe in NY.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

It should be the motto of NYPD.
