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??

Please cite me ONE case where an ordinary citizen who had a negligent discharge and injured only him or herself was charged with ATTEMPTED MURDER.

When you factor in the fact that this was in a gun shop, and while it isn’t smart, it is natural to assume the guns are unloaded, there is no way a civilian would be criminally charged, if nobody else was injured. If somebody was injured the clerk would probably be at more risk of prosecution than the customer.

Ordinary citizens who injure others, through negligent discharges, are sometimes, but not always charged with crimes.
