Indiana cop visits school to teach kids how to be good police - then accidentally shoots one of them.

Wonder if it was an accidental discharge or a negligent one. Either way pretty stupid to use a loaded gun for the demonstration.

Yeah, if you're teaching a class and it's absolutely necessary to show people how to load a gun properly(not kids). Use blanks. Or even better plastic placeholder.

I would ask why a cop needs a loaded gun in a school but I think we all know why.... murica reasons lol

Especially if he knows ahead of time that he'll be pulling it out of the holster in front of the kids.

After that day the children no longer wished to be police officers

They were inspired to go into the Army instead.

Until police are fired over bullshit like this, AND have to pay any lawsuit dollars from their own, personal pockets or pension/retirement funds This. Will. Never. Stop.

Well, that is on point for an American cop.

Touché

So this is technically a school shooting by a cop.

Not the first one either, if memory serves

How? Just how? “Professionals”

Well we haven't had a school shooting in a few days so gotta it up I guess

That’s not an accidental discharge.

This is the most american headline ever.

Where was the good guy with a gun to stop the cop from shooting that child?

"Alright kids. Not like this. "

At least he entered the school...

Police officer attempted to bring some variety to the daily school shooting news.

If the kids were armed, they could have protected themselves from this!

Was this a prank by the police on this guy that just went wrong? Maybe they thought he’d just handcuff himself while the kids played keep away with his keys.
