Old topic, but couldn`t find it, about this officer shooting himself in the leg and keeping teaching afterward.

Guy obviously doesn't know how to clear his weapon. Watched it again...he's lucky he didn't hit his femoral artery right there in front of those elementary school kids.

As ironic as this is... it happens a lot. He might have lost his job over that. Lesson guys: treat all firearms as if they are loaded, do not point a firearm at something you do not want to destory. Use a high-vis indicator in the chamber to visually show it's cleared!
Weird thing is that he did get someone else to check that the weapon was empty.

Tough guy.. after being shot in the thigh he still wants to continue the class...

If this had happened, it would have been all over the national news and I never remember hearing anything about it. Of course its a possibility that it did happen and if it were fake it seems to be a relatively elaborate, but just for the sake of arguement... I find it a little too odd how he keeps talking about being the only one qualified to handle the weapon especially the second before it goes off. If that had really happened, the school administrators would have been all over it and stopped the entire thing. Not to mention that there is no such thing as a "Glock 40" unless he means .40 caliber. I'd be skeptical about videos like this unless you can find proof that it is real such as a news link.

But you have to give the guy credit...He shot himself in the leg, he didn't freak out, he made sure everyone was ok and kept going with the presentation...

Stupid asshole.
The reason why he continued with the presentation is not to lose face.
The only thing this presentation really proved is that you should never trust a cop with a gun.
He might know his narcotics, but he sure as hell don't know his guns.

He can thank his lucky stars or whatever that he didn't blow one of the kids's heads off.

Well, I appreciate the links guys. I was wanting to believe that it wasnt real, but I was wrong. If he didnt lose his job, I'll bet his future partners are thrilled about having him at their side. Im still suprised that the school administrators didnt do anything. And how hard is it to look into the chamber while the slide was back to verify with your own eyes above what other people tell you that it is an empty weapon.

Probably what happend is that he got so worked up about the chains/slavery **** that his mind was elsewhere. He's still a dumbass though. :lol:

That is crazy! I love how snapped his fingers after he shot himself like "Aw darn, I shot myself." rofl

Then...

When he was going to grab the rifle everyone was saying "NO! Put it down!"
