That happened about 10 years ago. It still serves to remind us of the of contact/cover and general firearms principles.Originally posted by shawn0331 View PostWhat an idiot....was browsing youtube when I came across this....

I wouldn't call her an idiot as it is very easy to get caught up in all the action. I seem to recall they were preparing to shoot him just before he surrendered. It was definitely an error of judgment and probably a result of inadequate training (on her part not necessary the PD).
The video is an invaluable training tool. I like the expression on the contact officer's face.Last edited by Tennsix; 02-20-2008, 08:00 AM.I believe I speak for everyone here sir, when I say, to Hell with our orders.

Nate - This was my first reaction when then 71 year old James Earl Ribblet shot me in the leg (1976). That son-of-a-bitch just shot me! My second reaction was - This is a new suit.

My wife had just made it for me. Times were simpler then, I think.

I stick by my decision to call her an idiot. There is no excuse for a negligent discharge to SOMEONES HEAD. Ive been in similar situations and still had the sense to not shoot someone who is restrained. Any who, hope everyone has a safe dayOriginally posted by Tennsix View PostComment

I understand your sentiment. Over the years, I have made plenty of mistakes and I am sure to make a few more before I go to my reward. I just care to label people in that way.Originally posted by shawn0331 View PostI believe I speak for everyone here sir, when I say, to Hell with our orders.

They have had several incidents where police city, state and federal have been killed or seriously injured by friendly fire such as running up a flight of stairs during a dangerous drug raid and a city police officer had his finger on the trigger of a cocked .357 and killed the DEA agent ahead of him. In a moment we can easily forget our training. In Air Force and a Constable, the supervisor would order: "depressed pistol or raised pistol - finger on frame, I say again, finger on frame."
Were I her supervisor, she'd be back in firearms training in a heartbeat. Everytime she violated an instruction (order), down and give me 20. Were she a slow learner, she would indeed be flat chested when she returned to active service.
Enjoy the day,
