[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad that this happened to Alec Baldwin, but let's face it:  if this had happened to ANYONE else, he'd be ripping them apart for it.[/quote]

+1. We wouldn't give a cop this benefit.  [/quote]

BS. If every officer was provided with a dedicated professional (supposed) firearms expert, whose sole responsibility was ensuring that their gun was in perfect condition (always clean and free of debris and the safety on), and confirming that with another person who is supposed to check, before handing the gun to the officer at the start of the officer’s shift, you know there would be times officers failed to verify the condition of the gun. Because that’s human nature. We don’t have any way of knowing whether Baldwin would attack an officer who injured and killed people accidentally, due to the condition of the gun, under those circumstances.

There are plenty of stories in the news about police officers doing stupid things with their guns. For God’s sake, at a police academy (I think in Baltimore), an officer who had spent years training potential officers on safe gun handling shot a student because he thought he was holding a gun that wasn’t loaded (for instructional purposes) and he was goofing around and pointed the gun out the window at someone and pulled the trigger — but he was actually holding his service weapon, which was loaded. Does Baldwin have a history of making fun of such officers? Serious question, because I honestly don’t know.

I'm not sure if "making fun" is the right term. In 2017 he tweeted that he wondered what it felt like to accidentally shoot someone after a cop did. It was an odd thing to tweet.  [/quote]
