"...it appeared that the cop's gun accidentally fired once as he and another officer pulled the suspect out of a livery cab by his feet."
Last I heard, the NYPD carries Glocks. How does a Glock "accidentally fire once" without a finger on the trigger? My intent is not bashing the NYPD, but just about how weird that sentence is. Think of it's implications. The cop did not accidentally shoot the suspect; the cop's gun fired once. What? Is this a case of a malfunction in a Glock? I bet there is a 1000 people on this forum that would argue otherwise. They worded the sentence in such a way to imply the gun screwed up, not the cop. This was in Today's Daily News.
The LEO was apparently repentent, and I do believe that it was an accident by him. As a favor to me, please do not use this thread to bash the NYPD as I do not want it to go in that direction.
