I am a vocal critic of bad policing, but i don't want to see any cops get hurt ever, especially not good ones, which most cops are.
There are some really, really bad ones though....we have to keep our eyes on those guys. There is nothing worse than a bad cop.
"Competent one" suggested the BART cop meant to reach for his tazer. To me that would elevate the incompetence level into the stratosphere. It seems so unbelievable to me that i jumped all over him saying there was no way. How do you grab the wrong weapon, then not even know it when it's in your hand? The weight difference is very significant. The grip shape and trigger shape would also be different. Did this guy not get trained, or never once practice his draw? He would have to have no muscle memory at all to grab for the wrong weapon entirely. Maybe you're right...who knows...assuming that's the case, cops like this guy tell me that we need to do a
waaaaaay better job screening and training our LE people.
Way better.
The total incompetence on display in that video should never be allowed to happen. Reminds me of the DEA guy that shot himself in a classroom full of kids with his Glock. At least that guy had the common decency to shoot himself instead of someone else.
