Were these guys even taught basic gun safety?

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

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

Booger hooks and whatnot.

But that officer's gun goes off

Some crazy copaganda passive voice in play here.

"accidentally" 🤗

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.

The real crime is that title.

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.

  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

i expect nothing less from cops.

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

So this is the version cops take.

And most important: Remember to have fun!

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

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

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?

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

freak gasoline fight?

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)

What about the Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too?

Nope

I think it was Zoolander

Hardly know er

"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.

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.

More cops should play this game

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

Your pfp really fits to this scenario

critical support

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.

more please

Piggies killing piggies. Yay!

Cops...can do good things?

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.

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

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

Yeah I think he's referencing this.

There it is, thanks!

Darn it! 😤

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.

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.)
