I just want to point out that while I'm not a trained law enforcement officer, I've managed to successfully use a flashlight numerous times without shooting at anything. Mostly this is because I use special flashlights that don't have guns attached.
In all seriousness, this snippet from the revised article is astonishing.
An officer - an ESU sergeant no less - accidentally firing a gun during a planned operation to remove protestors who were merely trespassing isn't "abnormal" enough to be worth mentioning? If one of the protesters had accidentally fired a gun, would they have mentioned that?
And the mayor knew about this when he was publicly congratulating everyone for how "professionally" and "flawlessly" this was handled.
@mattblaze Yeah, good thing no one was hit because then they’d have to kill everyone (witnesses) and plant weapons on one of them. They didn’t plan for that contingency, so, Whew!
