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

Were these guys even taught basic gun safety?

CW: Gun violence

"counting or not counting gang violence?"

I mean... cops are technically just state funded gangs 🤷

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

POP!

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.

Gun? Safety? I make safety with gun? Gun safety.

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

So this is the version cops take.

I love hyenas. And "shoot at noises" is making me full on belly laugh.

Also consistent with gnoll behavior.

5; don't be a moron (or a cop)

that hyena is about to flamethrower a noise. That ship has sailed.

But that officer's gun goes off

Some crazy copaganda passive voice in play here.

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.

Your pfp really fits to this scenario

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

Piggies killing piggies. Yay!

Wasn't there some silly thing Hasan said about how the police didn't want anyone too smart?

Something tells me there'll be a next time.

This wasn't the first time it won't be the last.

Yeah I think he's referencing this.

There it is, thanks!

it was well known before hasan said that, like decades. thats why conservatives make up the majority of police forces.

Darn it! 😤

Cops...can do good things?

i expect nothing less from cops.

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

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

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

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

Or just in general as like, a good idea.

"Link expired" Post not even 30 minutes old.

Thanks, I fixed it

😆

  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.

Edit: Not for the light of heart. Risky click. https://youtu.be/PDQHF1ZyPfI

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.

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

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.

IME there's also free body armor and a giant purple two-headed dildo.

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.

Booger hooks and whatnot.

The real crime is that title.

Everybody does a desk pop!

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

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

I just saw this on youtube shorts i was shocked lol.

"accidentally" 🤗
