That teacher has no business teaching anyone gun safety(if I understand gun safety enough). I could be mistaken, but I doubt it.

Why even shoehorn in this little bit of apologetics. You know full well (I hope) that this was absurd and incompetent. You don’t need to understand gun safety to know that a person shouldn’t be waving a gun around on school property and if he’s dumb enough load it and fire it (even accidentally) inside then he certainly is not competent enough to carry a gun, much less be a police officer. This is the shit I’m referring to when I complain about how there is almost a complete lack of standards when it comes to who gets to be a cop.

Do you know anything about standards to be a police officer? We can find innumerable bad examples from any profession but that doesn’t indicate an almost complete lack of standards.

This cop/teacher obviously did something wrong. Anyone can have an accident (which doesn’t prove much) but the nature of this accident suggests recklessness. The way the school handled it is really bizarre.
