Until the State legislated him out of business, the Elk Grove Police Chief was issuing CCW permits to anyone who came there and applied.

“Bet those folks are more careful than the police.”

First rule of firearms training, know what’s behind your target.

Too bad, but at least the wounds the policemen suffered were not life threatening and that they did get the perp too.

Maybe these two did know their partner was behind the suspect.

"...at least the wounds the policemen suffered were not life threatening..."

OTOH, since this CA, the two cops will probably disability-retire this year and collect the typical CA 6-figure retirement income...

Really? For me, the first rule is "Dom't get in fromt of someone else's gun."

The police academy doesn’t train cadets on how to establish tactical firing angles so you don’t shoot friendlies?

There IS a boathouse near the town of Hereford, on the River Wye, for the local rowing club. It’s basically brown brick with some blue and white bits.

Some years back the commander of a LAPD SWAT Team killed a team member during an entry operation. It can happen under stress -—— but shouldn’t never happen!

Then they should not be armed at all. Cannot be trusted with a firearm if that lacking in situational awareness.
