You cannot pull the trigger twice on a Glock. Stinky smell, I sense.
He needs a better excuse for failing to follow basic gun safety rules.The roommates had taken a break from playing “Call of Duty,” a first-person shooter video game, after being kicked off due to inactivity and were standing around talking when Lawson took out a Glock 34 9mm semi-automatic pistol, an affidavit shows.
According to the affidavit, Lawson believed the gun was unloaded and “jokingly” pointed it at Walsh, pulling the trigger. The gun did not go off, so Lawson manipulated the slide back before pulling the trigger for a second time, the sheriff’s office said.
Police Training DeathsThe manpower shortage and the effects of Covid have also reduced total training time in most departments. There’s no time to train when all the officers are working double shifts just to cover manpower on the street. Officers assigned as full time trainers are often being shifted to street patrol to cover shortages. Training happens less often and is regularly hurried. The trainers are less experienced. Less experienced trainers, fewer experienced officers (who know what safety protocols should look like), and hurried training classes lead to tragedies like those linked above.
The only way that these incidents can be prevented is if officers learn proper safety protocols for scenario based training and refuse to participate in departmental training if those protocols are not adhered to. That takes courage, initiative, and knowledge. I’m not certain it’s going to happen.
Yeah, something is not right in this story.Grayling813 wrote: Tue Dec 06, 2022 10:23 amBeiruty wrote: Tue Dec 06, 2022 9:23 am Dead roommate cannot corroborate the story.
