More on Cops and Guns Don't Mix

I put up a post yesterday called Cops and Guns Don't Mix.

Apparently, I was wrong. At least according to The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Cops and guns do mix. This was simply "an accident." It is murder, etc. when it happens to a civilian. It is "an accident" when it happens to a cop.

Zach Ragbourn, spokesman for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence in Washington, D.C., said guns in homes need to be secured with trigger locks or other methods.

"You can assume in this case that the police officer is a good and generally responsible guy and that this was an accident," Ragbourn said. "But a lot of kids are dying in accidents."
