Where the hell did he shoot at? Just horizontally along the street?! In the centre of a city?! I'd assume a warning shot is shot upwards so that it will most only be able to hit someone if they happen to be standing in one specific spot and not so that everything in the next couple hundred metres, including people inside the buildings behind the windows, are at risk.

Okay, the dude was pissed drunk, but shouldn't he still have some instinct of what the hell NOT to do with a gun?!

He's cited as an "experienced police officer" in a lot of places. I doubt one would go round the city, the Parliament and bars carrying, let alone while drunk.

The comparison of a carry-on permit to a driver's license is just golden.

I might argue only an “experienced police offer” could be as arrogant.

I recall he cited extensive ballistics expertise; take a shot at this angle against concrete and the bullet disintegrates with no chance of harm whatsoever.

Keeps on giving indeed...

its illegal to drive while drunk, but why is it not illegal to have a GUN on your possession while drunk?

I'd still rather have these headlines than whatever is happening to my neighbors here on the other side of the world.
