If you saw the quality of LEO nowadays you would understand why bad things happen. If you plan to shoot something your finger goes on the trigger but I know trained professionals who have mentioned accidental and negligent discharges. It happens.
dont ever put your finger on that trigger.. i dont give a fuck what anyone tells you to do.. your nervous, your excited, your scared.. too many bad things can happen.. let the bad guy shoot at you first. most of them can't shoot strait to begin with, you got a vest on anyways.. once he fires the bullet, or points a gun at you. your in the clear. then its time to unload..
this woman had he finger on the trigger.. stupid. i hope she lost her job. her gun shouldnt have been out. if he was resisting the cuffs, stick a taze in him. the best cop i ever worked with, who i learned the most from, only took his gun out of his holster once in his 30 year career. only because he was getting shot at, but he never fired. a good cop can do that. a bad one has no confidence, they always feel threatend. they always have fear -thats when you fuck up.
