In reply to uncommon_sense. I hope the driver fully recovers after surgery and a pint or two of replacement blood and gets a tasty $100,000 + payout from that department...

The only “highlight” that I can see in this event is that the negligent discharge did not prompt the other multiple officers on scene to draw and shoot the injured driver.

The lesser “highlight” is that officers actually took responsibility (after the fact) for what they did rather than trying to claim that the injured driver “made a furtive movement” which justified shooting him (or some such nonsense).

“The mere fact that a person is carrying a concealed firearm does not automatically mean that a person poses a threat or is ineligible to carry a concealed firearm….officers should not seize a firearm (i.e. remove it from holster, vehicle, pocket, bag, etc.) from someone awfully carrying it,” the memo states.

In other words, the male officer that made the decision to disarm this guy is at fault. He seemed to be in charge. Everyone is talking about the female officer’s failure, but I don’t hear anyone talking about the guy that got this ball rolling by going against their own policy. Was he fired too??

Jacksonville/Duval County SO has had the nickname “The Wolf Pack” for decades. Their officers routinely infringe on the constitutional rights of their victims. They are one of the leading LE organizations that top police brutality investigations for decades. It doesn’t surprise me something like this happened there.

In reply to Bill G. That’s one of the “thousand things”.

Well, Arrington’s about to get rich, at the expense of the Jacksonville taxpayers.

I saw this headline on Instapundit and scrolled past it several times. But I finally had to look and see just how bad it was. And learned it was even worse than I had dreamed. And it’s topped off by “I think, not being aware of where my fingers were on the inside of the trigger, obviously an accident happened that I’m at fault for. In hindsight, I wish we could have slowed it down and done a thousand things differently.” Not even the slightest hint that he should have been ticketed and waved on his way.
Pfui.
