The "Only Ones" Qualified to Handle Firearms Strike Again

When only cops have guns, only cops will shoot other cops while acting like complete idiots. Video shows police officer accidentally shot by fellow cop in 'horseplay' incident in Pasadena, California - ABC7 Chicago

If you don't know the "only ones" reference, well, a good search engine, not Google, is your friend.

Newly released dashcam video shows a Pasadena police officer getting shot by a fellow officer in what the police chief described as a "horseplay" incident.

Miguel Gonzalez, in his post The Only Ones: P.A.F.A.F.O. makes the point...

Any civilian would have been in jail within the hour.

The hat tip for this goes to Second City Cop and It's NOT a Toy, Dumbasses

That seems to fall far outside the recognized definition of "horseplay." And the narrative indicates there are TWO morons here who shouldn't be trusted anywhere near firearms, let alone carrying them as part of their jobs.

You don't draw a loaded weapon and point it at someone or something you aren't willing to shoot in the defense of yourself or others - LEAST OF ALL at a fellow officer.

So the idiots were being stupid. Their bosses, who didn't immediately fire them, are not doing the right thing.

I really did try to ignore this story. Stupid people being stupid is not news, but here we are.
