That is shocking to me. When I heard about it, I frankly just assumed she was one of the rookies hired to replace all of the real cops who resigned/retired over the past 12 months or so. And I mean nationwide, not just in Minnesota.

But the idea that she had 26 years on the job and still f—ked up like that... wow. I’d be curious to know if she’s had any “accidents” (fatal or not) before this.

Not the only older cop to do this and not even that long ago...2019. Dont know his age or years on force but he retired 5 days later. He was not charged with a crime
There's no sound with the below video ...this one has it but Youtube won't link it to the board. He screams TASER! before shooting the man.

Quote:A New Hope borough police officer who shot a man tussling with another cop in a holding cell in March thought he was deploying his Taser when he fired his handgun, the Bucks County district attorney found.

The unnamed officer will not face any criminal charges because of his “honest but mistaken” belief he was deploying his Taser at the time he discharged his service weapon, District Attorney Matthew Weintraub said in a news release Friday.
