Indiana cop visits school to teach kids how to be good police -- then accidentally shoots one of them

Well, the only thing left to do now is the officer suing the gun manufacturer stating that the firearm discharged on it's own.......

An Indiana police officer this week visited the South Vermillion High School to teach children about how to be good law enforcement officials -- but he wound up accidentally shooting one of his prospective pupils.

Local news station WTHI-TV reports that the shooting occurred during a visit to the school on Thursday morning in which the officer, who has been identified as Tim Dispennett, was running a drill with students on how police handle a purported "bad guy."

It was at this point that the officer's weapon accidentally discharged and resulted in the injury of one student, who was not severely hurt.

Guns don't accidentally discharge. Negligent people pull triggers. Idiot news reporters.

WTF is a loaded gun doing out of a holster under such circumstances?

Professionals.

Professionals.

No , No it's "Highly trained " professionals .
If you even dared touch some of the firearms they do you would literally explode.

Worse thing is to send someone to do these community relations functions who doesn't have a clue. Even the DARE officers went through training one how to conduct themselves professionally and safely. I don't ever remember ever giving any sort of talk that involved drawing a loaded firearm.

If this officer is lucky he was carrying a sig p320 and he’ll say it just went off on its own. I can’t think of any valid, sane reason the officer’s firearm should have been drawn for this presentation.

There isn't any. As much as I'm not a great fan of the NRA training programs, they do make safety a big part of it. During the times I was involved in teaching portions of those courses, my club started out by making sure no live ammo was present in the classroom. If the program was on the subject of firearm's safety than a fully certified instructor should be conducting it.

At least the Air National Guard does it when the school is empty.

A fighter pilot strafed a New Jersey school, firing 25 rounds from his wing-mounted cannon in what the military is calling an accident during a nighttime exercise.

The Wednesday incident over the Little Egg Harbor Township Intermediate School in southern New Jersey – which was not occupied at the time – is still under investigation, officials said yesterday. It is not clear why the unidentified pilot of the F-16 fired at the school shortly after 10 p.m.

The pilot was assigned to the District of Columbia Air National Guard, based at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

He was on a nighttime training mission and was supposed to fire at a target at the Warren Grove firing range, about 3 ½ miles away from school, said Col. Brian Webster, commander of the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard. The 177th was not involved in the incident.

I'm sure that question will be one of the first. I'd ask it right after he was served the suspension paperwork.

This is one of the reasons you don't let cops train at you gun range.Why did this F^*ktard have to draw his weapon?
If your going to show the kids how to shoot the family dog bring in a blue training gun.

So the same go for other training groups?

Drew, a firearms instructor for Davad Defense, lives in Chicago and in the predawn hours of April 19th, 2019, heard a commotion in his alleyway and went outside to investigate. As this was urban Chicago, he had his G19 drawn but didn’t find anyone. He is an experienced appendix carry guy, and when he reholstered, a piece of his t-shirt got inside the trigger guard causing the weapon to fire. The high-velocity personal defense round went into his upper thigh, and the bullet passed obliterated his femoral artery. He quickly lost consciousness, but a responding Chicago police officer (who had recently attended LEMART training through CPD) applied a tourniquet and stopped further bleeding. Drew coded twice (6, and 7 minutes – all of his ribs were broken during the administration of CPR!!!), but they got him to the hospital and were able to revive him (30 units of blood) and ultimately save his life.

Michael Piemonte was attending a concealed-carry class with his wife Alison in central Ohio’s Fairfield County over the weekend. Such classes are required for anyone wanting carry a concealed weapon in the state.
There were 29 students in the lecture-type class, Piemonte said. He was sitting in the front row.
While the instructor was demonstrating a self-defense techniques, the gun went off.
The bullet struck Piemonte in the arm. Even he didn’t realize what had happened.

From the article:

“We will be talking to every student that was inside of the classroom”

I wonder what this will sound like.
