The story about the officer whose “gun went off” gets better and better. From the NY Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/nyregion/nypd-columbia-shooting-hamilton.html): “The officer, who was not identified, was approaching a barricade on the first floor of Hamilton Hall when he fired his gun, which had a flashlight on it, the police said.” Apparently, the NYPD doesn't believe in stand-alone flashlights or miner's lights on their helmets, and of course safeties have to be off to use the flashlight function. https://mastodon.lawprofs.org/@SteveBellovin/112374521412998273
