If I read that right, sounds like the officer was not shooting at anything? A Negligent discharge while running with finger on trigger?

With the little I’ve read/heard, that seems to be a probability. They’re lucky he didn’t hit the tenant!

Time for a wooden gun for awhile?

Or a desk.

Whew. I only know one LPD officer, and that ain't him.

Media here in Lafayette has switched to "critical condition" to the officer that was injured.

I hope that is a stylistic point, not a true turn for the worse!

Video just released. Police department calling it "accidental not negligent" The officer had his finger on the trigger while walking through the apartment. What I read is about negligent discharge is " Negligent Discharge – a discharge of an officer's firearm, whether intentional or not, that was primarily caused by the officer's failure to follow established safety procedures or legal justifications for deadly force." and the department isn't calling this negligence?? I totally understand it was accidental. I also understand that in a stressful situation it's easy to violate that 3rd rule. Perhaps you just can't get enough training for it.
But this doesn't help police/civilian relationships when you dont call this what it is. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Thats what was said on the evening news last night also.

The LPD should probably have the cop who shot her on suicide watch. I don't want to even imagine being in his shoes, especially if she really took a turn for the worst. How awful.

Ugg. I had heard she was doing alright.

As of yesterday’s update, she’s still stable and recovering.

So much for Lafayette Police Department taking responsibility for what they did. I am still furious over that press conference.

JUST DAYS BEFORE THEIR COPS SHOT EACH OTHER THE CHIEF OF THE LAFAYETTE POLICE WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER PULLING ON HIS LAPELS TELLING US SERFS HOW WE MAKE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

I am so hot right now, I need to go for walk.

 

[Trigger Time]

Wow

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Here is the press conference where LPD runs away, quickly, from their responsibility for the whole mess.

I am disappointed and heart-broken. Just days before this he was in the newspaper waving his finger at the peasantry. Unbelievable.
