An officer in the Metropolitan Police Department's first district “dry-fired” an unloaded weapon at the head of another officer during a roll-call meeting on Saturday afternoon, possibly under orders from a sergeant as part of a training exercise, four MPD sources tell WUSA9.

Those sources say a Sergeant later told officers in the room that they had secretly ordered the officer to unload his weapon and then pretend to fire on his colleague as part of a “training exercise” on situational awareness. The officer then pulled the trigger of the unloaded weapon while pointing it at the head of an officer until it audibly clicked, the sources say...

Seriously?

Seriously?

Should have been shot before the first click. And obviously the officer who dry fired and the Sgt who ordered it are too stupid to be cops. And apparently everyone else in the room couldn't find their pistols.

Stupid does trickle down, not up.

Stupid is a gas, which expands to fill the space given.

Wow. Did they drop the IQ cut-off for that department? I know you can be prevented from being an officer because your IQ is too high, but is the cut-off 80 now/there!? That is the dumbest thing I think I've read/heard in the past 3 days.

"Training". Yeah, not training, that is fuckery, pure and simple. Everyone involved should be fired.

Fired?

My guess is they get promoted. Admin material right there.

I have taken shooting classes/schools with fellow officers and some classes with civilians. I've been muzzle swept so much at officer schools/quals that I wear my vest at all times when shooting with cops. Most are not "gun" savvy and the four rules are a foreign language to them.

Seen some real stupidity on the range in the last 20 years of toting a badge.

It's true...you lose IQ when you get promoted...

I hope I don't suffer from such ailmengs one day...

vdm - from what I've absorbed since I've been lurking here (quite a bit), all of you here - would not, nor could not, do something like this. Just unbelievable.
