Why was he pointing [aiming] a loaded pistol at an individual, even if it was a “training “exercise? I know better than to do something like that.

Well if you’re going to use live people for trainng you may as well use live ammo.
Good grief.

Yikes! Stupidity and negligence on the part of at least one,and probably more than one,city official/employee.Probably no malice or intent,just a stupid accident that shouldn't have happened.
To: 2111USMC
The idiocy of this is beyond words. This assclown cop needs to go to prison for a while.
To: lightman
Amen to that.What form of idiot has live ammo in his weapon during a public demonstration?The lawyers will feast on this one.

The infuriating thing is the husband not only was not allowed in the ambulance but was directed to the wrong hospital.

The need to fire everyone involved in the program, from the city manager through the police brass on down to the secretaries. Investigate for criminal prosecution, but don’t bother for the employment issues. Fire them all and clean house.

Range officer, Firearms instructor, and all their higher brass will have their nuts in the corn sheller.That would be a pleasant surprise. More likely they'll pick a mid-level scapegoat.

If you did it, they would charge you with manslaughter...
Weird, he says he’s a victim. Still breathing though...

During my years as a target shooter I saw a huge quantity of lousy police firearm control.
If the average person knew how badly the police handle weapons they would be terrified.
Avoid, avoid, avoid.

He “thought he loaded blanks instead of wadcutters.”
Still, everyone with a modicum of common sense knows you NEVER point a gun at ANYTHING you don’t intend to destroy!

The officer NEEDS to go to jail.
Money? Sure..! Lots.
But the officer is in the wrong line of work and needs to be incarcerated.

According to the video, it was outside the police station where the “training” was being given.
