This is a total screw up,Safe weapon is always step 1
Not being a thread nanny here. That was yesterday, this is today, that was the New York Daily News, this is the Washington Compost.
It had 110 comments, that's all. Might be of interest, might not. YMMV.
They weren’t using blue/red guns? The old lady’s estate is going to own that police department.
That program includes class work, on-site visits and facility tours and is meant to “develop future leaders through well informed and civically engaged residents,” according to the website.
Never “play” anything when real weapons are involved.
If ever there was an OUTRAGE, this is it. Why couldn’t he just use an empty gun or water pistol? Lock this bastard up for negligent homicide.
I saw this from a distance yesterday, didn’t hear the details, and was wondering why overnight and today there was nothing in the Tampa news about it.
It appears the media covering for cops having the only guns again.
Let me guess. The cop unloaded his weapon by racking the slide and THEN removing the magazine. There shouldn’t have been even one live round in the building if shoot/don’t shoot simulations were planned. Not. One. Live. Round.
Why would there be live ammo in a demonstration class?
Shooting an innocent old lady? Cop can put that on his resume and get a job with the Atlanta Police Department.
Without looking any farther, I’m guessing a Glock.
The department will pay out a bunch of (taxpayer) money.
The officer will resign, only to be quietly re-hired by another police department elsewhere. He’ll then be able to collect two nice pensions in retirement.
My 16 year old son is in the local Police Explorer program. This week they had an active shooter training...he came home with a shot from an air soft gun right in his throat. He laughingly said,”Trigger finger Brittney”(girl in the program) was role playing an officer. He was the victim-ran out yelling help me, help and she shot him immediately. Good thing it was air soft guns!!
I can not imagine why real weapons would be used in any kind of training or demonstration. The chances of things not going perfectly are always high.
Remember folks: Policemen are highly trained - more than any average firearm owner. THEY will be the only ones allowed firearms under another progressive regime.
Nope, horrible negligence, and I'm sure the courts will agree when they are presented with the lawsuit. Remember, if this were you or I that did such a thing, even with no malicious intent at all, we'd be charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide. Different rules for the cops apparently.
Was this the officer involved???:
The police department was conducting a program to convince the public that the police do not unnecessarily use deadly force.
Hmmm... I think the program needs some work.
First thing I learned, never, NEVER point a gun at someone loaded or unloaded unless you intend on shooting them.
Never, ever, be involved w any Rent-a-Mob group, even on a volunteer basis.
Who told Barney he could put his bullet in his gun?
guess they sure got that no hesitation thing down pat...
