even 25 year veterans can get complacent, and all it takes is one incident to be potentially life-threatening
That is an excellent point. We all get complacent about various things. But, before we make a judgement, the facts should be known. It could have been a malfunction of the weapon. No matter, he is alive and that's a good thing.
I'm just tired of the stereotyping. People (including writers in the mainstream media!) are insinuating that he was trying to kill his wife because some other cop killed his wife a couple of days ago. It's a vile and unfair accusation that's based on ridiculous stereotypes, not facts.
