The officer apparently tried to tuck a gun into his pants instead of using a holster, failed, dropped the gun, and menaced bystanders in response to his own failure

    He couldn’t even shoot if he wanted leaving that mag on the ground, fucking idiot!

    This is not true. The magazine is only the feeding mechanism. There is likely still a round in the chamber. This is firearm safety 101. Always assume a weapon is able to fire unless you 100% know that it isn’t.

      True, but to loose your gun and mag taking down ONE guy is just embarrassing as you trained for this (it’s your fucking job) and failed all around and then point the gun at others is just careless!

      But I agree, I know there might be a live round but I just don’t think this dude even knows how to shoot a gun but you are correct. Always assume it’s loaded until proven otherwise.
