Stupid cops IS stupid citizens. Their agenda is to convince everyone that they are not.Stupid cops, stupid citizens, what's the difference.
Well maybe not...........
Stupid cops, stupid citizens, what's the difference. The offenders in both cases should be punished on the basis of THEIR actions.
Sheer stupidity.
But, if there were no guns idiots would still find interesting ways to permanently harm or kill their own children. Like burning them with 'model engine fuel' trying to light a BBQ.

The difference will be that LEOs will not be charged with anything. Stupid citizens get charged, stupid LEOs get to stay stupid.
(Oh, the "stupid" is not directed twords you Allen)
The anti-gun crowd is going to scream for more gun control laws that will only apply to and affect us non-LEO law abiding citizens and the badge polishing boot lickers will scream for LEO to be exempt from them.
I'm curious as to what firearm was involved.
The Spokane Police Department will conduct an internal investigation into possible SPD policy violations by Officer O'Connell at the conclusion of the Sheriff's Office investigation.
"policy violations." Seriously? What about possible law violations?
Oh I forgot, officers are above the law.(sarcasm)

Spokane PD are issued Glocks in .40 S&W. The officer involved, who I know personally, is asigned to the patrol division so it was likely a full sized (22) or a compact (23) but probably not a mini (27) (unless it was for off-duty/backup). Revision: Acting chief Stephens indicates SPD has some .45 ACPs. Don't know if any of those are Glocks. I do know of one SPD detective who carries a 1911.
If it is a Glock, it would be the 3rd Glock associated with a child shooting (2 by LEO children) in the last month. Having a 5lb, trigger pull available to a young child is not a good idea.
Possible law violations are the point of the Sheriff's Office investigation. Standard practice here is the criminal investigation goes first, followed by the internal or policy investigation. Standard practice is also that one of the other agencies (in this case SO or WSP) conducts that investigation. What may be true elsewhere is not completely true in Spokane. I can name nearly 10 local LEOs that have been prosecuted here off the top of my head; I know there have been more than that. Some have been prosecuted for Assault (both felony and misdemeanor), some for DUI, one for unlawful imprisonment, one for rape, one for murder (Sheriff's deputy killed his wife and wounded himself, tried to blame it on black gang memebers).
PS - - before anyone starts throwing around lawyers being above the law, I personally tried and convicted a local (now former) lawyer for felony welfare fraud and know of several other prosecutions of members of the bar.
Stepping down off of soapbox now.
I don't know whether to be positive or negative about all those cops being prosecuted. It's good that they're being held accountable, but at the same time rather upsetting that so many of our law enforcers are actually criminals.
