LAPD Moron-Members

Some are concerned about gun owners.

They SHOULD be worried about morons with guns (that's a subset, for the mentally handicapped), many of whom are employed as LEO's by the City of the Angels:

LAPD appears to be having some problems with unintentional firearm discharges.

"Officers over those years shot themselves or one another nearly as often as they were shot by suspects.

Since 1985, there have been more than 350 accidental discharges by LAPD officers. There also have been more than a dozen so-called friendly fire incidents....

One off-duty officer shot himself in a leg as he sat behind his desk and, according to department records, contemplated "a complex mathematical problem." [Using his trigger finger to count?]Another officer inadvertently pulled the trigger when his African gray parrot flew into his face. [An Attack-Parrot]

One officer accidentally shot his girlfriend in a leg while trying to retrieve a cartridge from his handgun as a "memento" of their date. [I'm sure she felt honored.] Yet another officer admitted that he accidentally fired his gun because he was startled by a woman holding a teddy bear. Two officers accidentally discharged their weapons as they handled them at home while watching themselves in mirrors." [How would Wyatt Earp draw?]
