Were these guys even taught basic gun safety?

    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.

          To continue the pedantry: Technically the trigger has a safety in it so it won’t travel without ‘intent’ to fire, but Glocks do not have external manual safeties.

      Yeah I’m really questioning whether this was an “accident”… Or if the second guy was firing because a loaded gun was pointed at him. Cops usually don’t like that.
