Treat every gun as if is loaded
Never point your gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy
Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot
Be aware of your target and what’s beyond it
The cop was fully aware it was loaded.
The cop was willing to destroy the target.
The cop was ready to shoot immediately.
The cop couldn't give less of a shit what's beyond their target.
You don't know cops very well.
You’re missing the point. Anyone who is unable to follow firearm safety should be disqualified from holding a position that will require the use of a firearm.
Your flippant attitude doesn’t help anything. Yes, peace officers seem to have no moral code and are currently a detriment to society. However, resigning them to your point of view is somewhere between pessimistic and harmful. We must be open to changing this system for the betterment of society.
the problem is the cops don't care and they're not incentivized to care
My flippant attitude is based on this article.
I don't disagree that you shouldn't have a gun if you can't follow basic safety protocols. Unfortunately, California (and the rest of America overall) does disagree. Which was my point.
I don't think you get the point.
You can say things like "Y'all rape is bad" and we can make laws to also say rape is bad but not enforce it on a few people, then shit is fucked up.
That’s a false equivalence.
The comment they made is about a subset of people, not just a few people.
It’s like saying “Rape is bad” and then someone coming along and saying something like:
“Mexicans think rape is good. You don’t know Mexicans”
Rape is bad, period.
But thanks to the 2nd Amendment anyone who is unable to follow those rules can have multiple guns
If only we could get these heavily-armed cops to follow basic firearms safety protocols.
Sounds difficult. Easier to just continue giving them inadequate training and have the city pay out millions of dollars every time a cop wants to kill someone.
"Don't point gun at fellow cops, check. Okay, maybe except Ray, because he's just a total softy."
If those cops could read they would be beating you senseless for resisting arrest.
