Female Dallas cop accused of shooting gun in squad car

Seems like there SHOULD be a law covering that.

We don't need another law just because this idiot was stupid. How many drunk off duty cops killed a citizen last week... month... year?

Seems like the officer in question is probably going to be appropriately punished. Don't see the need for another law.

I'm glad no one was hurt.

I didnt mean to imply it was an arguement, just that cops shouldnt have to go anywhere unarmed if they dont want to. I wouldnt want to go to a restaurant/bar with my wife for dinner and have to leave my weapon in a vehicle. If I run into someone who I have locked up, I dont want to be unarmed....but thats just me. Now, if an officer cant handle his/her liquor, and does something stupid as in this story in Dallas, then I firmly believe their status should change from police officer to civilian immediatley.

Understood, and very good point. I agree fully.

I believe a cop should be able to carry anywhere. I feel safer knowing cops are always armed (unless they want to go to a bar and cut loose)...
...I also believe a cop should be held to a higher standard when it comes to using good judgment. This officer used very poor judgment and will pay dearly for her mistakes. I feel safer knowing that she will no longer be a cop.

The fool in Philadelphia a week or two ago that got charged with murder?
On the other hand, I agree that we don't need any more laws to restrict LEOs.

cops shouldnt have to go anywhere unarmed if they dont want to. .

agreed....
but why limit it jsut to peace, and policy enforcement officers?

I shouldnt have to go anywhere unarmed if I dont want to.
just saying. i never realized cops could carry whatever whenever and wherever they want - when they are off duty. while i am not against this, i dont see why it should be diffrent for anyone else.
