Wow, what an absolute flipping idiot. Oh wait, he's a cop, never mind, ACAB.

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.

Everybody does a desk pop!

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

But that officer's gun goes off

Some crazy copaganda passive voice in play here.

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

Edit: this is actually a really good premise for a movie

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.

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.

If only the natural selection worked on both of them...

"counting or not counting gang violence?"

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

That's not what "accidental" means though. If you're fucking around with guns, you expected this. You were taught about this exact thing in gun safety class FFS.

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

More cops should play this game

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.

When you can be too smart to be hired, this is what exists under the high water mark.

Booger hooks and whatnot.

i expect nothing less from cops.

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.

You know what would make a lot of sense in this situation? Saying that he feared for his life. Why not try the excuse out this one time when you shot an adult pointing a loaded firearm at your face for fun?

Cop jokingly shoots his coworker while accidentally pointing guns at each other

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