A female cop is getting canned after accidentally shooting a man with his own gun during a traffic stop in Florida -- and it's all caught on graphic body cam.

so what was the pat down for ... they knew he had a firearm; he told them... was it in case he was hiding a rocket launcher ? ...

"For my safety and yours im gonna have you step outta the vehicle".

So much for that huh?

I think that policy is bullshit anyway, so is having to notify.

Loose your job for incompetence. And fuck you pension.

 

[FRANKIE]

First time hearing of bad trigger discipline..
On someone else’s gun.

She needs to pay all medical bills, the state will be sued for life changing injuries.
I understand why cops feel they need to disarm, cuff, people; but you have him hands on the "hood" why couldn't the female run the plate and the cooperating guy keeps his hands on the hood.

 

[Bustedknees]

I think they covered something like this in Congress recently. Women in combat,, meeting numbers or being competent in the military.

Only cops should have guns. See what happens when a peasant has a gun?

 

[pshift]

FIrst there was Florida man, then Florida woman, now Florida cop ...

What is cops fascination with disarming a person that willing admitted to LEGALY carrying a firearm?
Officer safety? I would think the cop standing outside the car with the 'badguy' inside would the safest, have you ever tried to draw and fire from setting inside a car? It's not easy! (I'm not talking about having the gun in your lap and POW as soon as the cop walks up).
I've told cops I'm armed and most of the time all was good, one guy was a total ass and we had to get his boss involved, lectures about gun ensued yeah yeah yeah I don't care.

I've dealt with that scenario 2 times. I detail them here just to show how different things can be around the US.

Here in NC (where you are legally required to notify LEO's if stopped or interacted with), I was stopped for a possible traffic infraction. I immediately informed him; he asked for a copy of my NY CCW permit, and he told me to just leave my handgun holstered. I did. No harm, no foul, - and no traffic ticket either. Even complimented me on my collection listed on my permit! Funny, but down here in NC, they issue paper permits without even a picture on them. No need to list the handguns you own either. And the cops here are quite chill.

Back in New Yorkistan, while on my own property (and NOT having threatened or menaced anyone), cops showed up and demanded to know if I was carrying. And I was, legally, under an Unrestricted CCW permit, with my EDC in my right front pocket. Told me that he was seizing it (for "officer safety"), and that if I was not arrested, that I would get it back at the conclusion of the call. First time I was ever frisked, and had a cop reaching into my pocket to seize my gun. Somewhat nerve wracking, I will say. I guess I should be glad he didn't shoot me like this cop did! Then, as soon as he had my gun, he got right up in my face and gave me a raft of shit, - "nobody but cops or military should have guns...", and on and on... "no one needs a 2nd Amendment Right". Yelled in my face, saying “what the fuck was wrong with me that I felt the need to carry a firearm”. He didn't like it when I then reminded him that it was my right, and I then told him that he must suck at his job, because when he frisked me, his missed my spare magazines (in a pouch that could have been a second handgun...). I didn't bother to get into it with him that I actually was ex-military, and a former Navy SAT team member who regularly carried a full auto M14 and a 1911 on duty.

They did give me my M&P Shield 9mm back at the end of the call, albeit in pieces and with the magazine unloaded. And later, the OPPD Chief of Police went to the Erie County PPO to demand that my CCW be revoked because "I had the audacity to carry extra ammunition for my handgun on me!" Actually had my handguns seized, and had to hire a lawyer and go to court to get them returned to me 6 months later.

He might have a hole in his leg but…

 

[2WheelGnnr]

Hmmmm... maybe you have a point?!

 

[GOPerfect]

DEI hire. Should be removed from the department, lose all qualifications to be a cop in the US.

Should be charged, tried and convicted.

Should be sued and not be covered under Qualified Immunity

Only cops should have guns. See what happens when a peasant has a gun?

Well she's a "Peasant" now, as they fired her ass!
The Sheriff's Office has implemented new policies and procedures that'll hopefully put a stop to a lot of this "for Officer Safety" bullshit.

 

[lrick]

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but when a finger is on the trigger I find it hard to call it "accidental"

 

[spat]

How about a policy that says every gun stays in it's holster until it's time to shoot something.

These "disarm you for your safety" policies are bullshit. If you are willing to be disarmed, then you weren't threat to begin with.

Officer Fired After Shooting Driver With His Own Handgun

Arrington, it should be pointed out, was legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm, and officers later described him as being “very compliant.”

That is why I cut the bottoms out of my pockets.

Please explain this. I don’t follow your logic.

I still pocket carry often today, albeit with my EDC in a pocket holster covering the trigger, AND I never put anything else in that pocket.

 

[fresch]

If I have no pockets, when the cop reaches in they will find a weapon just not the kind they think they are rummaging around for. It would be more like a penis.

Sorry a bad try at a joke.

 

[OwnTheRide]

I informed that I was carrying twice in NY, once in a backwoods rural area and once in Binghamton. Both times, the LEOs just kinda shrugged.

A guy limps into a bar.

The bartender asks, what's up with your limp?

The guy tells the bartender a cop shot me in the leg.

The bartender asks, what did you do so wrong to get yourself shot?

The guy tells the bartender, nothing.
