[buckbull]

Yikes. He bled like it was an artery would. Thank god the officers had a tourniquet handy.

Many cops are not gun people and only shoot when required. Still, you have to have some situational awareness there. She had plenty of time and was not under duress.

Shot with your own gun for running a red light is probably not on anyone’s bingo card.

"Lean into it" was always the saying I heard from attorney friends. lol

Being a gun person is besides the point. Any child going through gun safety knows to keep their booger hook off the bang switch, ESPECIALLY in a situation like that. I'd hope a damn cop understands that at least as well.

Another case of GLOCK leg

You can say what you may of a Glock and how safe they are, but a so called safety built into the trigger is a joke…

 

[kodiakisland]

Wonder if they still wrote him a ticket for the red light.

 

[Dan O]

No matter with all the safety options they can't fix STUPID!!!!

So much for Glocks being "cop proof"

I mean… Pull the trigger and it fires. Don’t pull the trigger and it doesn’t. I don’t know how it gets any simpler than that.

She pulled the trigger. Hopefully this department looks a little more closely at their hiring process in the future.

Don't get me wrong if you want to shoot me in the leg for a million, I'm game lol. Only if you can guarantee a flesh wound.

 

[crock239]

Not even a .22 short...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure if someone said to me "I'll give you $1M if you let me shoot you in the leg." I'd have to take a hard pass.

Maybe that's a new thread...what would you do (or not do) for $1M?

 

[Tcal719]

How does that even happen?? She shot him while removing his weapon from his holster??

Improperly trained!

This officer needs to hire Alec Baldwins attorney. I think that case set a legal precedent for justified ineptitude.

Yes, prosecutorial as well...

The Glock is a separate issue altogether. The cop was wrong and responsible for the safety of the person she shot.

The Glock, however, isn’t the first time someone was shot due to handling, holstering or unholstering a loaded Glock and it won’t be the last…

If I’m his attorney going for money, I’m making this a race issue.

Good news… DEI hiring is over as of 1/20/25.
