There is no excuse for not using a fake gun and/or checking his weapon so no accident. Yank his badge and fire his butt.
No accident...at the very least gross negligence AND negligent homicide. Cop needs to be fired and prosecuted. This was unforgivable.
Exactly. If a blue trainer wasn’t available, you damn-sure make sure the weapon is empty. Then you double and triple check, then get someone else to check it too. No excuse for this. That guy belongs in prison for the negligent death.
And I thought Barney Fife had retired.
Yup. You don’t do some sort of role play with an actual piece.
His @$$ needs to be in jail for a long time.
And why was his finger on the trigger?
and the safety officer and the oversize manager.
.....and charge him with criminally negligent homicide, just as they would anyone else

I’m pretty sure there are guidelines for this kind of activity that include making sure that what happened can’t happen. Someone didn’t follow the rules and got someone killed, negligence, that means man slaughter, Jail time is deserved.
Put him in the damn electric chair.
