I suspect this will become a trend as more and more LEO’s are facing layoffs this year.

Wonder how much capping your foot will bring?

How did this fellow contrive to shoot himself in the hand?

I know exactly one person who shot himself in the hand (with a pellet gun). It was no accident. It was an act of positively outrageous, braindead, mindless, drooling stupidity.

This is news because? How many employees get worker’s comp because of a back strain, a car accident, a slip and fall? An accident with a firearm should not make that special.

At least, he hit something.

This is why only trained police officers and military should be able to have guns. The rest of us aren’t safe or competant enough.

Did it look anything like this?

Guy Shoots Himself in Hand at Range

[sportutegrl]

I bet he has a lot of pictures with his thumb on the camera lens.

3 years in the Army, thousands of rounds of ammo, both small arms and 90 and 105 mm tank HE, SHOT and HEP expended. Not one firearm related accident even though it was when the draft was in effect and I was surrounded by brain dead idiots of every type and form you could imagine. How in the he** could this guy shoot himself in the hand accidentally?

I’ll bet this guy will soon be back working for the city, if not the police department itself, in another position and on the road to eventually collecting two public pensions in addition to being rewarded with 100 grand for his own negligence.
