Sounds like everything went as planned. Tell me a better way to teach the kids that guns are bad than by shooting them.

I hadn't realize this guy was working for the Chino PD.



On a side note, I just had a talk with my oldest boy that if he's in school and they have an officer come in for a demonstration and if the officer removes his firearm from his holster, he is to leave the classroom immediately. He's been shooting, he knows that firearms aren't toys and that they're not something to show off.

I find it hard to fathom that a cop could be this damn stupid. It's almost like they want crap like this to happen.

I am not sure where this information came from but the article linked to said a student pulled the trigger on the rifle. The rifle did not just go off. There is a lot of fail here.

I will only speak for myself, but that is exactly what I assumed happen. The question is why did the cop leave a loaded gun on a police motorcycle that was on show for the kids.

Also, the article was updated 12 hours ago so it is possible that what the OP posted is what the article said at the time of his posting.
