I read about this at officer.com a few days ago. I'm surprised this is the first I've seen it here. Just shameful

Only the police are properly trained to carry guns according to the moonbats @ HCI.

Another Officer Dumbass story. I wonder why Langworthy still has his job?

Don't they teach police to treat all guns as if they are loaded?

When I was in the service, a watchstander pointed an empty weapon at me and pulled the trigger. I can still feel the chill I felt as I realized what he had done.
This watch facility is manned 24/7 with armed personnel going in and out. Over the years several weapons mishaps/near mishaps ocurred such as firing a round into the floor, a petty officer picking up a loaded shotgun (left unattended), cocking it and almost taking out the communications console, etc.
Weapons safety should be practiced at all times by all users. Even when it is enforced as it is in the military (weapons clearing zones, ammo accounting, safety rules, there will be mishaps. Playing with a weapon is never wise, and should never be allowed.

I don't get it. Where's the funny part? Dumba$$es! Like those morons who set all those churches on fire - as a joke. I don't get that either. Where's the "joke"??? A joke usually has a punchline, yes? The "humor" these days . . .

"The filing of any criminal charges would be inappropriate and unsustainable," Burdick said. "VanDyke blamed the incident on himself." Once again LEO's get a pass on behavior that would have rest of us behind bars.
