Police accidentally kill woman in training exercise

Who can blame you with that article? So many words, so little truth (or info).

No wonder the proles get all riled up... with this so called media.. its intentionally filled with half-truths or lies or both.

That article was pretty weak and hard to read. The only information was at the end of the article and had to get past all the ads.

Tragic

Agreed. I just don't understand how journalists get jobs. It doesn't really go into any information, jumps around, is hard to read, does from arrest to a previous settlement option, the talks about what convictions could look like. Doesn't go into any detail about the incident, training, what was occurring, etc. Shoot/Don't Shoot could be a ton of different types of scenarios.

Makes me think its written that way on purpose. Not incompetence. The way its written will probably make it show up as a gun crime statistic to be used later. Just my 2 cents. ..

Not defending today's "journalists" in any way, but many articles are now produced by bots. It costs less and fills up the page.

I have no doubt it will be used as a statistic. And yes I'm sure they do some of that to help support their agenda. But read any news article, it doesn't have to be gun related. There will be numerous typos, sentence structures that read poorly, an inability to get thoughts and ideas across. I feel like if you're a halfway decent writer you should be able to blow the competition out of the water.

Horrible situation for everyone involved. I'm confused on how she was shot several times though? I'm sure it was journalist exaggerating

I'm relatively certain the fatal rounds were not simunitions. I could explain but the simplest answer is none of the simuntions I've used penetrate like a pistol round and full load pistol ammunition isn't all that great when it comes to killing people. Simunitions ranges are normally very strictly run to insure live ammunition isn't present, and several brands require a ramped block in the pistol to assist in feeding the weaker recoil of the sim rounds. This block is also meant to prevent the chambering of live rounds. I can't imagine anyone working on a sim range without eye protection and gloves. Simunitions are weak but they will break skin and if you are hit at close range (under 10 feet) on bare skin, you will bleed, bruise and have swelling. It hurts a lot more than any paint ball.

My guess is that this incident was caused in the same way that many "dry fire" accidentals are caused. Complacency in checking for a loaded weapon. It only needs to happen once and your "dry fire" isn't so dry any more. Many departments have policy that prevents "dry firing" when not on a range or under the supervision of a firearms instructor because of these types of incidents.
