If supposedly well trained cops can't control their weapons, why are we surprised when civilians can't either?

 

[Katzndogz]

He wasn't badly hurt. This isn't even news.

 

[Nutz]

Even if he was badly hurt...not really news. Accidents happen.

• "It is unclear if he had the gun safety on"

Well, obviously it wasn't on if the gun FIRED!

 

[ninja007]

Luddley- whats your point to all these anti gun threads?

 

[Freewill]

I just hope this isn't a case of another black man being shot by a cop.

Because that is a false premise. Cops are not well trained. A typical CC holder is actually FAR better trained than any police officer.

You really should look at the training requirements for those wonderful police. Your false assumptions are really leading to a lot of false conclusions. Tangential to this, military members are not well trained either for the most part. the government does a piss poor job at ensuring proficiency.

 

[Mr. H.]

Adjusting his belt? He must have pigged-out at dinner.

Ta-dum

Carrying is a dangerous game.

based on zero facts maybe.

Based on reality - no it is not.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Life is tough. It's tougher when you're STUPID!

This dude needs to be fired immediately.

 

[asaratis]

Glocks and S&W M&Ps don't have safeties.

I almost forgot...you are a useless racist...your opinion doesn't count, hate whore.

Can you back that up? For most states it seems pretty easy to get a carry license. To claim far better trained seems extremely unlikely.

Was he black ?

I don't think an actual study has been done on how often people fire their weapons who also have a concealed carry. I do know that without fail, every single person I have ever met with a concealed carry permit fires more often than I do and I am active duty military. Every single one has also fired more often than the police are required to as well. However, that does not mean that police do not take it upon themselves to fire more than qualification requirements. I know a fair number of people that carry as well because of the area I currently live in.

I don't know anyone that is willing to put a weapon in a holster and walk around with it without being comfortable with that firearm. I am positive there are people like that out there but the average person that gets a concealed carry, from my experience, is a LOT more competent than government requirements for police or even military.

There was a study done by Force Science Institute that showed criminals practiced a LOT more than cops (I believe around 10 times as much) but I cant find the original paper - just a few random mentions of it. Of course, the quality if practice might have been quite different You also cannot compile complete date here because the government DOES NOT REPORT how many innocent bystanders the police kill. I guess they don't want that data revealed. It is equally hard to find put how many innocent bystanders are killed by concealed carry holders.

Luddy is afraid of guns therefore no one should have them.

 

[Iceweasel]

Two cops got shot doing their jobs yesterday and the Ludtard is more concerned about this?
