[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]According to WTHR, the LPD review board determined that Officer Wright’s hand bumped the open door as they were running out of the apartment, which caused his weapon to discharge.
[/COLOR] Unbelievable conclusion, If his finger wasn't on the bang switch, it wouldn't have discharged.....

Not sure where you were going, but I’m not faulting the body cam officer. From what I witnessed, the other officer discharged, and I disbelieve the “bump” on the door discharged anything but the trigger finger.
ETA: witnessed was a poor choice of words as I was only watching video, but a “bump” on the door will NOT discharge any of my Glocks, unless I bump my trigger finger on the trigger, on the door.
I'm out. I've said what I wanted to, not going down this road with keyboard commandos again.
Exactly. Somebody screwed up for sure, but there are an awful lot of people that think they can do better but don't put up or shut up. Want policing to get better and think you can do it? Sign up!

Yeah I definitely wouldn't say they were idiots. I would say that a mistake was made. I hope that they would get some training on recognizing aggressive animals, because the dog in the cage showed no signs of aggression. I am assuming that is the dog that got loose.

And these people are allowed to post at random, anonymously, and think it holds water?

I'm not faulting the body cam officer at all, the officer behind the door obviously had his finger on the bang switch...
Ahh, then we’re in agreement.

This would have never happened if his gun had a thumb safety.
Or a 15 lb double action... Maybe even a NY trigger

The shooter is Wright (behind door), NOT Sink (behind Lane, the shootee). SINK likely should have put his pistol away after "clear" but he did NOT shoot. Wright did. See all the trash coming off the door? That is Wright's round.
Wright is behind the door screwing with the dog cage. Google up "sympathetic squeeze response" to find out what likely happened.
You can train up beyond it, but you are talking about hundreds of hours beyond training plateaus. Not going to have that in 2d year officer unless officer came to LPD already in the pipeline.

1. The police do not protect us. They were doing their job, investigating a crime which turned into looking for someone wanted on a warrant.
2. That is not a bumbling idiot. That is someone subject to divided attention. You must train deeply to get beyond that behavior. The question is: are you trained beyond that?

pdog, tell them about training out the sympathetic squeeze.
