    Wow, what an absolute flipping idiot. Oh wait, he’s a cop, never mind, ACAB.

    The copaganda is strong enough that this is unquestioningly portrayed as an “accident”.

    But, when someone aims a weapon (or vaguely similar object) at a cop, the cop almost always starts shooting. Dude might’ve feel disrespected or intimidated or whatever. Maybe not just joking around.

    I really wish the titles were more accurate, it should read “Officer shoots coworker while negligently handling service weapon”

    If you put all the cops in a room, how long until there’s only one left

    Edit: this is actually a really good premise for a movie

    Pigs are fucking dumbass bottom feeders. And the state gives them weapons. Preventing an accidental discharge is actually quite easy when you don’t treat your firearm like a fucking toy. I’ve yet to have one cos I don’t treat my firearm like a fucking toy.

    Go to any police station bathroom that the cops use. There is ALWAYS at least one bullet hole in a stall where a cop was fucking around with their sidearm while taking a shit.

        thier union is pratically a gang/mafia that can strongarm the cities, so technically not a true union.

    That’s not what “accidental” means though. If you’re fucking around with guns, you expected this. You were taught about this exact thing in gun safety class FFS.

        It’s a reference to a movie with Ben Stiller in it. (I only remember two things from the movie: that line and Ben Stiller)

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don’t have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We’re not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can’t control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
