Porter thought he had his training gun in his holster, not his real, loaded gun, his lawyer said.

First rule of firearms: Assume your firearm is still unloaded if it was unloaded the last the time you checked

He had to disregard all four rules of firearms at once to pull this one off.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 2 years ago

Ah but you see, none of those rules individually can prevent all negligent discharges, so following any of them is definitionally nonsensical. What? Why yes I do be snorting Ivermectin

rule 5 of firearm safety: abolish the police

[-] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago

Remember when libs defended Alec Baldwin from this kind of shit?

They are so against guns, but the second someone who was mean to trump breaks all the rules, it's suddenly an accident.

I'm half expecting libs to start siding with the cops in these situations now for the same reasons.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Libs don't know there even are rules of firearm safety.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

When pressed, they sure don't know what any of them are.

"You gotta break the gun down when you're not target shooting and bag each piece and sink it in the bottom of a different lake!"

I am shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, that an ex-cop thinks rules don't apply to them

[-] [email protected] 71 points 2 years ago

Cranking the "training accidents" dial up until the police are abolished.

[-] [email protected] 54 points 2 years ago

Lmao the fucking firearms instruction assumed the gun wasn't loaded, pointed it at something he didn't want to shoot, and pulled the fucking trigger.

Really cool the people teaching cops to safely use firearms gets a 0% on their real world firearms safety test.

I don’t believe in IQ, but cops do, and they reject applicants with high IQ because they’re seen as too intelligent. So it shows where their priorities are.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

Yup love to bring up to people that cops have successfully sued for the right to discriminate against people capable of complex thought.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

Further, it wasn't a firearm training. Batons and shit.

They should have to secure live firearms in a locker when entering a training room, similar to what cops do when bringing a suspect in for booking. Ensures no fuck ups can occur.

Dumb as fuck cops and ex-cops out in the world making it a worse place for everyone.

pre-emptively becoming a good cop

i mean, if this is the kind of thing we can expect from police training, maybe i gotta support all this additional money for cop training that Biden is doing.

He'd been making jokes leveled at the trainee all day. He'd brought a firearm into a place where they're expressly forbidden, in a training that did not involve firearms, and had up to a dozen police personnel there in case of any security issue happening, and he walks a few paces to swivel and fire into a group...

Computer, enhance.

...AND HE'S DOING THE SIDE GRIP TOO

Wouldn't it be funny if he had hit someone who wasn't the target of the joke? "My client did not intend to kill the victim; in fact, my client was intending to aim at someone else."
