Nothing new about irresponsible handling of guns by police officers. Training means zilch if you don't stay awake and practice what you learned. Just about everybody with a driver’s license has had training and testing, but accidents happen.
I understand a responsible driver may have an accident as while driving situation changes constantly. Unexpected things happen.
There is just about never a real accidental discharge of a firearm. Seems inevitably they turn out to be a NEGLIGENT DISCHARGE.
A regular site I visit is has a section, Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day
Police are featured way to often.

What happened to Kamala Harris' campaign?
She had the black vote all locked up.

I read about that at
Two-Year-Old Shoots Mother In Idaho Walmart. And?
We don’t know if Mrs. Rutledge had a Standard or Enhanced Permit, but she most certainly did have firearms training. And a criminal background check. Not that it did her any good –
Mother was negligent in so many ways.

The lack of training is appalling.
Even most police officers are only required to hit a target in a firing range 80% of the time.
Being armed is a lot more than hitting a target in a controlled environment.
I think the NRA failed in its true purpose. They should be spearheading the drive for proper training and responsibility of gun ownership, rather than feeding the "Oh-my-God-the-gummint-is-gonna-take-your-guns-away" hysteria.

It maybe lost in the media B.S., but education is anything but lost.
Education & Training
Training Department
From beginner to developing competitor, the NRA Training Department develops safe, ethical, responsible shooters through a network of more than 97,000 instructors and range safety officers, more than 5,700 coaches, and more than 1,800 training counselors. NRA Training Counselors recruit and train instructors to teach NRA's basic firearm courses. NRA Coaches, in turn, develop competitors at the club, high school, collegiate and national levels.

In an advanced civilisation, why would anybody feel the need to carry personal protection,especially when the trained upholders of the law fail to use their own weapons safely ?
And Tude that is somebody from a European Democracy asking...................if you give a squat.

Uh, because civilized or not it is only prudent to carry personal protection.

Training is meaningless unless one practices.

I love to talk with ya'all. Maybe missed the point as to why it should I care what most western european countries do.
I did write "Nevertheless I suppose it is nice to see we are on the same page."

In the same way, firing in the field is nothing like firing on the range. On the range you get time to carefully gather your thoughts & calmly take aim. On the field you have to make a split second decision whilst your adrenalin is running, knowing that as the symbol of authority you are likely to be the #1 target.

That's my favorite. Stupid woman. Better than the kid shooting himself or an innocent bystander.

I specially put 'civilised' into that sentence for a reason, personal protection these days means carrying condoms in most civilised countries.

In case you might learn something ?
