Their single range facility at Rodman's neck is always fully scheduled, but getting 35,000 people through just qualifications, let alone additional training, is a monumental challenge. This is complicated by the fact that many of their officers do not shoot on their own time and dime because they see it as a compensation issue and will not shoot if they're not being paid to do so. It shouldn't surprise anyone when these circumstances culminate in incidents like the one last week.

Is there a report saying the heavy triggers "had something to do with it" ?
I dunno is there a member here (other than you) saying that?
Like I said, it was alluded to by a couple of posters by bringing it up in this thread. I even quoted it so even you could understand what I was referencing. Now I am done playing the game with you.
Well since they were merely casually alluding to it, then seems self evident there is no report or other evidence of it being a factor other than their casual speculation.
I think that some people are getting a bit too tense and defensive. Neither the NYPD nor any other agency is not going to put into any report that states that the [relatively] heavy trigger-pull of the Glock was the cause or reason for shooting a bystander.

IMO a heavy trigger pull detracts from accuracy, but the NYPD officers use the tools that they are authorized to use.

Re: Suspect charged with injuring bystanders shot by NYPD

I agree, if it was justifiable for the police to use deadly force. Based on his alleged statements, he may get a "free pass" to a long stay at Bellevue.
