Mixing up your taser with your handgun

[Anomalocaris]

Because they want us to believe a 26-year police veteran would confuse a taser for a gun ..... Yeah sure 

There has never been an occassions when you confused two long accustomed objects?

If pulling out a gun and firing when you meant to grab a taser is your reaction to stress...you aren't cut out for a job where you are carrying both.

Fuck, the US has lost it's fucking mind.  My husband hasn't carried his pistol since he started his new job two years and is no longer driving through "bad" areas at 4 am.   This afternoon he said he's going to start carrying it again.  Shit's been nuts around Dallas lately and not just in the areas where you almost expect it.

I think those who have never made the mistake simply did not get unlucky.   They were probably not cut from material that could be distinguished, a priori, from the material of those who did make such a mistake.

But confusing a less-than-lethal weapon with a lethal one may be a sign that this person shouldn't have been a cop to being with.

How do you tell before it happened?
