This begs the question of how many drug users and dealers he's robbed.

[PlantsandProjectstv]

All you had to do was hit the evidence room like the rest of your squad.

[sircasm]

I find it extremely odd that he didn't know a spot across town where he could just buy some 😂

[annem]

Jonesing for his fix. How long has he been policing under the influence?

[joegug]

Dam dude was really jonesing, he should have just gone to work and robbed a drug dealer like all the other bad cops.

[ArianaGandhi]

He should've asked his police buddies. Surely they know where to get some pain killers.

[michaeln.]

They all think they're above the law when they're off duty.

[DwnRace]

Don’t be to hard on him everyone is doing it in SF! As long as it’s under $950 it’s ok…. Sad but true!

[kanank]

He could have given some money to a professional looter from the city and got big box full of all kinds of medicines.

[drugmoney]

It's legal to steal here, who cares.

[HeyUncleA]

Haha and everyone thinks all the car break ins are from just the “bad” guys.

[DashcamofCrazyDrivers]

what so big deal about it? its free to take anyway. no charges

[issasultan]

Well looks like he just lost his law enforcement career over some painkillers. Could have easily went to a hospital and gotten a prescription but he made the choice to do what he did

[zerofallen]

Damn, the real percs must be getting REALLY hard to find

[ItalianOrlando]

I thought theft less than a certain amount was legal in the armpit of the nation?

[TROLL]

He should have just went in the back and stolen them; then it wouldn't have been robbery.

[otsenres]

I guess the evidence locker was dry...🤣🤣🤣🤣

[SentMyOwnWay]

A 27-year police vet arrested over pain killers at a drug store that I didn’t even think existed anymore. This story is a tad bizarre lol.

[justlivelovelaughfrugally]

Is it Rite-Aid or is this a knock off store called Ride Aid? This is tragic in that opioid addiction is hitting everyone; young, old, black white, Roswell.

[MorganMcGinnis]

Didnt he know he was supposed to go to either CVS or Walgreens for that? THATS where the stuff is free in SF.... not Rite Aid ;)
