Default Gun fired in Phila. police station

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?se...cal&id=6893894

SOUTHWEST PHILADELPHIA - July 1, 2009 - (WPVI) -- A Philadelphia police sergeant is on administrative duty after a gun discharged inside a police station Wednesday morning.

It happened around 8:00 a.m. in the 12th district police station at 6448 Woodland Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia.

Authorities say Sgt. Robin Himmons was showing a newly graduated police officer how to use a gun in the operations room when it fired.

Nobody was hurt.



Here we have the "EXPERTS" handling weapons again.

There is a website that honor's fallen police officer who die in the line of duty. You would be amazed at the number of officers killed by co-workers!!!

But it's for your and their safety when they disarm you and unload your weapon (that they are not familiar with) during a traffic stop or other "non-confrontational" encounter.

Of course not, they were both victims at the hands of the big mean gun. They are heroes for making sure nobody else got hurt!

Wow...like Rock-it said, this is a perfect example why you should not let your friendly officer "disarm you for safety."

At least this clown didn't shoot himself like they have been lately.
