There's a story going around here in Raleigh about an ATF guy who came to Cary to serve a warrant. He got a Cary cop to go with him. They did a dynamic entry and the ATF guy shot the cop in the foot as they went through the door.

The ATF guy was on a plane 45 minutes later and has never responded to any inquiries, summons, etc. The cop is now on disability from his foot injury.

I'm amazed! There are three different schools on that page that are "African-Centered". What the heck does that mean? What if there were a "White-Centered" Charter School? These are publicly funded, right?

The women cursed the flag, praised Islam, and cheered the WTC destruction. Nobody, I mean nobody came to the defense of these two turds. They are probably doing time right now

Yep that's what I recall .. but like I said .. I haven't heard anything more as to what happen to these two officers .. nothing about them going to court .. nadda .. nothing ..

Shortly after a Philadelphia policewoman passed around a loaded handgun among students during a show-and-tell at a Germantown charter school, the weapon accidentally discharged this afternoon, grazing a 10-year-old boy in the face.

She passed around a LOAD gun ... GOOD GRIEF .. what a &!@^#& MORON

What it means is that the Philadelphia School system sucks ... it's so bad the State just took control of the schools ...

What an idiot. Gives cops and gun owners a bad rap.

NRA rules forbid such things.

He's not a "gun owner", he's a cop and, therefore, has little chance of possessing good knowledge about firearms.

It's not a generalization; it's the truth

Why was his gun drawn? ?????????????

For the demonstration. Here's a transcript right before the accident:

"Now children, WHATEVER you do, DON'T EVER point the gun at your friends head -- like I'm doing now -- and then PULL the TRIGGER!!"

BANG!!!!!

Time for some common sense cop laws. If this gun had not been made to by the cop, it would not have killed the kid. All cops should be required to wear locks.

SNIPPET OF AN ARTICLE REGARDING THE COP GUN DROPPER: "According to Fulton, the uniformed officer had shown the magazine clip to the class and had just put it back in the gun when she dropped the weapon. Fulton did not know if the gun discharged when it hit the floor or when the officer retrieved it. Police officials say the incident occurred while the officer was picking up her child from school - not as part of a planned demonstration. Nonetheless, they say, the officer should have never drawn her weapon."

IN THIS SITUATION, THE OFFICER SHOULD HAVE NEVER DRAWN HER WEAPON. In my opinion, this officer should be fired ASAP!

A$$h@le cop should have enrolled in an Eddie Eagle course.

Rule number one is that a gun is always loaded until you unload it. Idiot didn't know to drop the magazine before clearing it?

Rule two is never point that firearm at anything you do not intend to kill. Maybe the kid he shot was from a family that supports RKBA?

No, I am not cutting him any slack -- he was a "trained professional" in a state that is keeping a registry of all gunowners, contrary to the Constitution. I have not read the thread yet, but I can't think of a single reason to excuse the fool.

D@mn right I am angry!

The real problem from what I understand is that it is a female, black cop, you think she is gonna get fired? I don't think so!!

Ain't affirmative action GREAT?

This is why I say that if there's going to be gun control, let it begin with the police.

When I was in Philadelphia, last year, there was a radio talk show host who was talking about the incompetent female police officers that Philadelphia was forced to hire under affirmative action. I heard on Fox that the officer who dropped the gun was female.

The female officer that was the subject of the radio show, was overweight and physically unfit. In addition, she had no driver's license when she entered training. They tried to fire her, but made a deal that if she got her license before she finished training, she could keep her job.

This was a big mistake. The woman has been involved in numerous traffic accidents, wrecked a couple of police cars and ran over and killed another officer.

Thanks a bunch for the post and the link. I'm no psychic, but I've been around Afrocentrism a long time, and the name, "Imani," rang a bell. I believe there's a black supremacist, "Imani Nia" school somewhere.

At the Imani Circle School, the officer is I'm sure considered an important role model, whatever the racist, white media may say to the contrary.
