Actual ND caught on tape

When did this happen ?
I work as a firefighter in Las Vegas. I am surprised I didn't hear about it before. Of course maybe it is because I don't watch channel 13 news. Channel 3 has the better looking newscasters.
 
:what: :what: :what: :what: :what:

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all the Saints !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished downloading that on my ultra slow dial-up connection. How do you explain that ? I can't imagine doing something like that at my job. If I still had a job I would never hear the end of it. Someone, somewhere would bring it up every day for the rest of my career if I wasn't fired on the spot.
 
Dude, what a dufus! I like how she (or he, hard to tell...) sheepishly puts the gun away afterwards.
 
:eek:

I hope she was FIRED

Pun intended.

What did the bullet hit, about 6 inches from the guy's head?

I'm surprised it didn't ricochet and hit the cop cuffing the guy.

This stupidity is actually painful to watch.
 
Holy crap. I'm trying to look for a story on it, running a 'las vegas police negligent discharge' and 'las vegas police accidental discharge' didn't bring up any hits.
 
You might try looking up "Metro"

Years ago (like 40 years ago) the Las Vegas PD and the Clark County Sheriff's Dept joined forces to become the Las Vegas Metropoliton Police Dept. referred to by everyone, including the news media, simply as Metro.

I certainly don't think it is some kind of internet hoax. That is the Channel 13 logo, those are definitely Metro uniforms and vehicles. The only thing that doesn't seem right is the fact that it says Las Vegas, NV on the bottom left of the screen. It already says Las Vegas on the right side of the screen. If you were watching Channel 13 in Las Vegas pretty much the only place you would be watching it, it would be perfectly obvious to you where it was, I can't see them putting that on a news story, but who knows ?
 
I just watched that horrific scene again. Isn't that pistol an M9???

Aren't crunchentickers purportedly "safe" for police use?:rolleyes:

Cops don't need "Iwannacoolguns". They don't need gizmos, crunchentickers, and laser/phasers.

Cops need training. They are not getting it. We all must redouble our efforts to institute more and better firearms training for our police officers across the nation, except Ohio State Patrol which must be disarmed entirely and any LE agency that fought against carry reform in Red, Misery or Minnn-ehhh-sooo-tah.
 
Holy Cow! How she managed not to hit that guy, considering she was aiming at his HEAD at that close range... This is beyond scary!
 
I have a hard time seeing how she managed to miss the other officer with a ricochet off the pavement. I bet there was a Come To Jesus meetin' after that one.

The reason it's marked "Las Vegas, NV" on the left is that it's being replayed by other affiliates. If you watch the lower-right-hand corner you see the markings for three different stations--a channel 13 first, which says "Channel 13 Las Vegas," but also a channel 10 and a channel 12, probably from other parts of the country.

That's worth seeing for everyone. It CAN happen to you if you have the same disrespect for the rules as she did.
 
Y'know, watching that again, it almost looks like the cuffer had to tell her to aim lower--watch carefully. At first she has the gun fairly high. In fact, it looks from that angle like she could be aiming it at that officer instead of the suspect. Then he looks up and, it seems, says something to her. She lowers the gun a bit and takes a half step forward, and BANG!

That's what I thought. He looks up and sees he's being covered. Yells at her. She lowers the gun and cranks one off. I wonder if she was trying to decock or somthing?
