'Lodi Police Officer Shot When Child Pulled Trigger On His Gun At Reading Event'

I just love this part:


“Hopefully, speaking to the child and the child’s parents to find out how they were able to get access to the officer’s gun, what the child’s intent may have been—we don’t know if it was accidental or unintentional.” (Emphasis added)

they should probably just do a swat team raid on the kid's house

I'd love to see a campaign to swamp this kid with "Congratulations!"-type cards.

SWAT team really needs to be there for a reading event? What are they reading :confused:

Seriously, even when you allow cops in your classroom at all what teacher alows them to bring weapons? Fuck that shit, the only way a kid will pose a threat to you is exactly in the situation above.
Glad it was the cop getting shot and not a kid, hope it will make some teachers and parents reconsider allowing cops in their classrooms.
Bound to see the discussion be all about the gun having no safety though, if a kid can pull a trigger it can un-safety it too.
