Connolly stated that the only time he would ever place his finger on the trigger is to shoot. Although he does not remember feeling his hand strike anyt hing or feeling any recoil, he noted it was possible his left hand slammed against the molding and that is what stopped him from falling to the ground, allowing him to regain his balance. He also noted that it was possible that when a person falls with on e hand, the other hand can crunch in sympathetic discharge.
Charge her with theft of government property. /sarc
seems to be the norm these days

Unfortunately the DEA and the DOJ have poisoned the ‘well’ when it comes to believability and impartial internal review.
A civil trial is the course that may be needed here.
First of all, it is a NEGLIGENT discharge (vs. “Oh gee, I had an accident and tinkled in my panties when the gun, er, ah - went off”). NEGLIGENT.
And, second of all, guns don’t just “go off” all on their own. Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot, you numb-nuts.
And if that doesn’t work-
I’d turn a blind eye to a “get even” with the jbt’s that destroyed the woman’s life. Find out the names of the mutts who tossed up her place. Get a bit medieval with the shooter.
It’s called revenge.
tried to kick in a locked bedroom door and lost his balance.
Finger on the trigger, where do these people get their training? If a common citizen accidently shot an LEO would the result be the same?
Accident Allocation is government controlled transparency.
Don’t even.
Bust into my home, you will leave in a bag.
No ... but you never see them alone ... so ....
Yes, it’s all bull shite. I don’t give a rats rear end how it happens, the numb nut MOFO is still responsible for every round that comes out of his weapon. It is negligence and at the very least, he should lose his job, but he should face a jury of his peers. There is NO such thing as an accidental discharge.
He finger was certainly on the trigger which is against every rule of gun safety. Guns don’t just “go off” otherwise. He was sloppy and negligent.
Yes but he got home safe so it’s all good.
What do you think would happen to you if your weapon “accidentally discharged” and injured someone?
One standard for them, a different one for us.
That is NOT the expression of equality under the law.
Yep, they’re probably going to send her a bill for the cost of the bullet.
I think law officers need to follow the motto: FIRST DO NO HARM! In Houston they do high speed chases all the time and so many innocents are getting crashed into and killed. They need to do the Slow Speed Chases like they do in California. MOST Of the time they catch the culprit and the innocent families don’t have to die in a horrendous crash!
There is no such thing as an ACCIDENT when you have a LOADED WEAPON in your HAND, He and every other Jack Booted Thug belong in PRISON. What a Country
Police officers should be held to a higher standard of conduct than regular citizens, but instead they are routinely held to a lower standard by feckless AGs.
Somebody here said it exactly right:
“. . . keep yer booger hook off the bang switch . . . “
