Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The mom is still with the sheriff office after her kid used her issued weapon to murder people? That seems like an immediate resignation type of event, with potential for criminal negligence charges down the road.
Cops are so fucking careless with guns it’s unbelievable. Any time you hear of an accidental discharge, it was the cops negligence and they’re lying about it because Glocks do not misfire without user error
They leave them unattended in public bathrooms so often that my hospital has a protocol for what to do if we find one
jfc, I’ve heard about them doing that but I didn’t realize it was that bad. Fucking morons
LEO are involved in hundreds of accidental discharges a year, they also shoot themselves and other officers on accident dozens of times per year. Unfortunately exact numbers are very difficult to get because cops always fight having their actions tracked in national registries.
I've also thought it's hilarious how cops seem to love glocks. The "dual trigger" safety mechanism is shit. It can get caught easily on your holster, waist band, or one of the 20 fucking things on your belt and cause an AD. Oh yeah, if you have shitty trigger discipline like most cops,then you'll probably have an AD too.
Springfield makes a much better, safer pistol, IMO
*negligent discharge
Exactly. Still user errors, not the Glock
Sorry, mate, I’m a Glock fan boy. Love mine and never had a misfire or snag. I don’t doubt how good Springfields are though, I have been wanting to try one out. They look really snazzy too
I'm from Tallahassee and small correction. It was her former service weapon that she purchased from the department after it was decommissioned. It was her personal firearm.
Well, perhaps, but you neglected to include the Florida clause.
I thought I'd read in a previous article that the mom went to prison for kidnapping him a few years ago and taking him out of the country in violation of their custody agreement. If I'm recalling this correctly, it's insane that he can still work as a deputy, but I know how Florida loves their cops.
This is misinformation, and I know it's not intentional.
His biological mother did kidnap him. The Leon County Sherriffs deputy is his step-mom that has functionally raised him since he was very young.

I heard it was her service weapon which she then purchased as a personal weapon?
