Were these guys even taught basic gun safety?

thier union is pratically a gang/mafia that can strongarm the cities, so technically not a true union.

Everyone knows the first rule of gun safety is ‘Just have fun’

Safety is the nickname they give to that little no-fun button on the bang bang toy.

But that officer’s gun goes off

Pigs are fucking dumbass bottom feeders. And the state gives them weapons. Preventing an accidental discharge is actually quite easy when you don’t treat your firearm like a fucking toy. I’ve yet to have one cos I don’t treat my firearm like a fucking toy.

This is very traumatic to those of us who have lost friends in a freak gasoline fight accident. You people are so insensitive.

It’s a reference to a movie with Ben Stiller in it. (I only remember two things from the movie: that line and Ben Stiller)

I really wish the titles were more accurate, it should read “Officer shoots coworker while negligently handling service weapon”

Oh, “disciplinary action has been taken”. So everybody has learned their lessons and everything is okay. The problem has been solved. Great! /s

And it only took the judicial system 10 months to figure it out.

I’ve heard (no idea where, might be fake) that the NYPD used to get special Glocks that had a very heavy trigger. They probably had a few incidents like this they wanted to address.

 reply

Yeah, in the game Receiver it tells you about firearms and firearm safety while playing. One of the stories is about cops getting glocks in the US. The standard handling in Europe was no round chambered and no safety, since it couldn’t fire until you chambered a round. In the US it was always have a round chambered, but rely on a safety mechanism to prevent discharges. The Glock, being a European gun, didn’t have a mechanical safety. A lot of cops apparently accidentally discharged their firearm because of this.

(I’ve never fact check this, and it’s been like 10+ years since I heard this, so some details may be wrong.)

If you put all the cops in a room, how long until there’s only one left

The copaganda is strong enough that this is unquestioningly portrayed as an “accident”.

But, when someone aims a weapon (or vaguely similar object) at a cop, the cop almost always starts shooting. Dude might’ve feel disrespected or intimidated or whatever. Maybe not just joking around.

Some people think guns are fun to shoot.

I think guns are fun to shoot, too, but gun safety has to come first.

Even if you’re anti-cop/ACAB, you should know your way around guns, or at least understand basic firearm safety. Even people who are afraid of guns (and especially them) should be able to pick up a random handgun they find in the street some poor kid could accidentally use on themselves/their friends/siblings, disarm it, and even disable it. If we’re in a fight and you drop your handgun, I can quickly unload it and pull the slide off, and throw both in opposite directions. You’re not firing it any time soon. You’ll have to find all the parts first and you’ll have to know how to put it together. I’m not a tough guy. I’m a nerd who builds phones and used to mod phones (until I got sick of that shit and just got an iPhone). I can also handle guns, and I shoot pretty good (though, only ever at paper targets). You don’t have to love guns. But make them your friend. If you don’t want the gun to work for you, make it not work for someone who might use it on you. In old cartoons, they’d just bend the barrel U-shaped. You can’t do that IRL. You can make it just as useless though.

Seriously, the first guy was clearly joking around because he didn’t actually pull the trigger but the guy who actually fired the shot had to go through serious conscious decision to release the safety and pull the trigger, what was he thinking?? They’re both idiots and glad at least the guy who fired the shot was expelled from his job.

You think cops keep the safety on? Trigger control is for pussies

I get your sentiment, but my autism is kicking in so I’m sorry for the pedantic nature of this comment.

Most cops carry Glocks, which notoriously don’t have a safety.

 reply
2

To continue the pedantry: Technically the trigger has a safety in it so it won’t travel without ‘intent’ to fire, but Glocks do not have external manual safeties.

 reply
2

True, not even technically true! I forgot the trigger dohicky.

 reply

Yeah I’m really questioning whether this was an “accident”… Or if the second guy was firing because a loaded gun was pointed at him. Cops usually don’t like that.

Go to any police station bathroom that the cops use. There is ALWAYS at least one bullet hole in a stall where a cop was fucking around with their sidearm while taking a shit.

  1. Handle every firearm as if it’s loaded, even if you think/know its not.
  2. Do not point it at anything you are not willing to destroy.
  3. Finger off the trigger till you are ready to shoot.
  4. Know your target and what is behind it.

No such thing as an accident with a gun. What we have here is a negligent discharge.
