Keystone Cops friendly-fire shooting

**IROCZ** · February 11th, 2013, 09:20 AM

Dang, I just come here to be reminded that some "Pa firearms owners" are incredibly daft. The last true discussion I was in here was about why you should be able to shoot through doors. Threads like this bring out all you mental giants, you know who you are. Jump on in before anyone knows what the real facts are. The Officer that got hit was a victim, not complicit but some of you just love to hear of an Officer getting hurt or shot. Makes me wonder how many are still sore over thier first DUI...or Domestic.... Again, Poplawski was just a BS domestic, and he was also a "Pa firearms owner". I will never forget that.

Those milk containers are pretty life-threatening, though.

There was a threat and the police had to respond regardless of her second communication about the gun being made safe. They did find the shotgun.

They shot the fucking house. Tell me oh great educated one what part of the training called for 3 rounds from 2 guns. I'll wait.

The initial shots being fired we're more than likely some sort of ND, does it change that they happened, NO, but they were not intentionally fired. Doubling an AR is very easy to do especially under extreme stress (which is often the case in domestics where the other guy has a SHOTGUN!) I reserve opinion on this officer. Now the officer that shot at the house screwed up, no doubt, however, he just saw his Sargent take two bullets, and I will bet my life, he didn't know where they came from, and never guessed that they came from a fellow officers weapon! He was scared to death, and did something stupid. Will he be reprimanded, and maybe even fired? Quite possible, but that's not for you to decide.

If all three rounds were the result of 'firearm malfunction' or 'slipping on the ice' I'll eat this keyboard.

Answered this all above...

The point being that we don't know all of the facts of he case and until we do, reserving judgement is on the side of prudence. Also stating that one enjoys seeing officers take a bullet as the OP stated earlier is just plain lacking in class! P.S. Adam-12 who I am or am not "blowing" is none of your business!
