I thought police holsters are suppose to be very good at preventing exactly this. Requiring a specific angle, that is only natural for the wearer, to unholster.
The second one isn’t a huge shock to me. I heard a few days ago that at my daughter’s former middle school (so glad we got her out of there), the “resource officer,” (a cop) left his gun on the bathroom sink. A kid found it. Thankfully, he did the right thing and went straight to the office.
Amazingly, the cop was fired.
But this is the intelligence level you’re dealing with when it comes to cops.
I read that and my brain just auto translated that to “Cop shoots unarmed girl in custody”. I need to stop reading about US cops, it’s making me cynical.
Either way, cop needs to be fired. Like, even if it did happen the way the cops say, that means this cop let a 17 year old child take the cop’s gun and use it.
Yeah I recall another one like this not too long ago where, if I recall correctly, they claimed someone shot themselves inside a police cat car while they were handcuffed.
