We're the Only Ones Discharging Enough

Over the course of this generally routine maintenance, an Iowa City Police Officer accidentally discharged a service weapon which in turn caused non-life threatening injuries to the officer and another officer who was standing nearby. [More]
I wonder if they'd be this understanding and dismissive if you or I injured an officer with a negligent discharge.

No I don't.

Gee, what happened to the ole "trigger-pulling phantom" that so often gets blamed by these exemplary "professionals"?!

I wonder if he was shot in the ass? Sorry, buttocks, the guy who pulled the trigger is the ass.

Will the day ever come when the "pros" (that's how they see themselves) use the term "negligent" instead of "accidental" or is that too hard on them?
