The officer fortunately will be okay. It's another example of the need for training and trigger discipline. It adds to the debate as to whether a handgun should have a safety. It's also another example to dispel the lie that you don't need a firearm because the police have them.

Actually, this event is an example of why regular people should be armed and that’s because clowns with badges are also armed.

The gun is a SIG Sauer I guess we can't call it "Glock Leg" anymore.

A closer inspection of the video shows Officer Schroeder’s finger was inside the trigger guard. Hobart-Lawrence Police Chief Michael Renkas tells our sister station WISN Officer Schroeder couldn’t explain that but denied doing anything outside his training. And the Chief says that was "not outside his training"?

Is the officer Black? If so, here’s how MSNBC will report the story: “Black man gunned down by police officer while exiting car.”

It adds to the debate as to whether a handgun should have a safety. I like a safety, but then, I'm partial to Ol' Slabsides.

Officer Schroeder’s finger was inside the trigger guard. The gun didn't "go off". The ossifer put his finger on the trigger and pulled it.

The guy needs a better gun... My suggestion at this point would be the Beretta PX4, either full size or compact and preferably in SW 40 caliber rather than 9mm.

Was it racially motivated. For instance, was he black? Has there been calls for riots?

Hmmm...the article does not say if the trigger pull weight had been modified or not. Very common mod, and if overdone it can easily result in a hair trigger. Damning evidence/optics if there is a questionable shoot/discharge. Most semi autos have a decocker nowadays rather than a Safety, and that allows loading a round into the chamber with the ability to decock the weapon for carry. This makes a DA trigger pull, which is often twice the weight of a SA pull, necessary to fire.

For everyone that says a manual safety would have prevented this, I ask how? If the officer was going to put his hand on his weapon, isn’t it likely he would also take it off safe since he was thinking he may need it?

Mine is equally stupid. Dropped a 45 and it shot me in the left leg. Blew shin bone in two. 10 weeks later i am still doing PT and making the transition away from a crutch. I have a new appreciation for being shot in the leg. Im not a cop, and I didnt stay at holiday inn last night. Just another dummy. Lol
