An ordinary citizen would NOT be prosecuted for shooting his/her own finger in a gun shop. It is more likely the employee would be charged for handing the person the loaded gun, but that probably wouldn’t happen either.
Please drop the anti cop bias. He didn’t “attempt” to kill or injure anybody. He acted stupidly and accidentally injured himself.
If the cop or an ordinary citizen had shot one of the customers in the store, charges would be filed.
You are so wrong it is laughable, if an Ordinary Citizen accidentally shot a COP, HE/SHE Would be PROSECUTED, GUARANTEED. He should be charged with Attempted Murder of a Police Officer. I do not believe in SPECIAL RIGHTS for anyone, and I am not necessarily anti-cop. They should at least be held to the same standards as everyone else.
Why do you believe in Special Rights??
