Brickbat: Smooth Operator

Neptune City, New Jersey, police officer Damien Broschart has been charged with cyber-harassment and hindering his own apprehension for sexting an 18-year-old woman he'd arrested for drug charges and motor vehicle offenses. Prosecutors say he texted the woman while he was still on duty, shortly after she was released. They say he continued to text her throughout his shift and his messages quickly became sexual. The woman blocked his number, but he called her three more times from a police department line asking her to call him back. Broschart has been suspended without pay.

His own sexual frustrations made him fear for his safety.
Stop resisting, stop resisting! His “weapon” was probably discharged.
It accidentally discharged while cleaning it.
Yes, he fired his "weapon", but he missed the intended target and hit two innocent bystanders.
Be glad he didn't try to "shoot" the family dog.

It was probably SBP.
The county prosecutor’s office said the officer could lose his job if convicted.
LOL - yeah, riiiight. The county prosecutor must not be familiar with the police union.
Hasn't he been punished enough? The man is a hero and/or a victim and deserves extra consideration.
Worthless without pictures.

"hindering his own apprehension"? That's gotta be a typo but I can't figure out what word was intended.
For what it's worth, it appears that wording was carried forward from the prosecutor's press release.
I would guess it means trying to stop himself from being arrested.
I presumed it was a synonym for "arrest". But that could be wrong.
