For non-gun folks: When you shoot your firearm for whatever unintended reason it’s not an “accident” it’s negligence. I teach this very basic principle in the first 10 slides of my concealed carry course Kent for absolute beginners. Negligence is 100% on the shoulders of the user
Police crafting the shooting as an “accident” is very intentional. No one on the world of firearms training uses that terminology and the officer that shot was not a rookie. There is no “accident” that’s a intentional bullshit line.
PLUS the loaded weight of a glock is way tf heavier and it’s hard to state how different they feel in the hand. On top of that, police draw tasers from a DIFFERENT SIDE of their belt with a completely different draw stroke.
ADDITIONALLY, wedging yourself between another officer and the car door of a “fleeing suspect” and using a prong fired taser at striking distance against a jacketed individual is some absolute shitass logic. That’s not advanced stuff at all, its BASIC AF fundamentals.
The point isnt she should have had better tactics - just pointing out the monumental failure on every level of this cops behavior. It all rests 100% on her shoulders. Add a inherently racist militarized police system... that’s why folks out there raging. Solidarity to the streets
