You gentlemen who are afraid of Glocks because they lack an external safety (they have 3 different internal safties that prevent the gun from discharging until the trigger is pulled) or because you "can't see when they are cocked" are prime candidates for negligent discharges of your own. Mechanical safties fail, people get tired or careless, things don't always go as expected.

My guns are (1) all loaded (2) never pointed at something I don't wish to destroy (3) never have a finger on their triggers util I am (4) sure of my target and ready to shoot. Y'all better follow suit before you shoot something you wish you hadn't with your revolvers or 1911's.

and a heavy trigger pull is not safer. Its just more inaccurate. You want a nice light trigger pull (and the 4 rules of gun safety)

Believe me, I'm not arguing that point, but I have heard of many people drawing their Glocks and getting their trigger caught. Since all those internal safeties are contingent on NOT pulling the trigger, that weapon is a prime candidate for alpha deltas.

In this case, however, that officer is just an idiot.
