Brickbat: Lesson Learned

The Indiana State Police are investigating after a Vermillion County Sheriff's Office deputy accidentally shot a student at South Vermillion High School. Deputy Tim DisPennett was conducting a law enforcement class, and students were doing a scenario drill when DisPennett fired his weapon. The student, who wasn't identified by the media, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

I’d love to discover what classroom learning scenario requires a deputy to point a loaded firearm at a teenager.

Not a brickbat, though. Does Reason even know what a brickbat is?

Google pay 200$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12000 for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it outit..

Probably a safe gun handling class and the deputy was showing the kids when it was safe to point an unloaded gun at somebody.

I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..

One thing that most gun safety classes agree about is that there is no such thing as an "unloaded gun".

Another thing is that you never point a gun at anyone you are not prepared to kill.

So his aim was off?

A brickbat is whatever the author of the Brickbats Column says it is.

How is putting an armed cop who apparently can't practice basic safe gun-handling in a school not a brickbat?

[m40195971]

A brickbat is the use of government to oppress.

This was a jackass apparently being a failure at firearm safety.

What, no double tap? Rookie.

[MatthewSlyfield]

Double tap? I would have expected a mag dump.

The lesson was what law enforcement will do to you if you attempt to save your child from a school shooter. Very meta.

Officer must have momentarily mistaken the student for a dog.

[mpercy]

Beat me to it.

[cgr2727]

Clearly the officer feared for his life because the kid was holding a pencil case that, if it was dark and you squinted sideways, might kind of have almost looked like a weapon, and the kid was probably refusing to instantly obey a series of contradictory shouted commands. At least he got home safe to start enjoying his paid vacation.

[TangoDelta]

He didn't accidentally shoot the student, he negligently shot the student. Of course he could have just been reenacting a scene from the movie Rust.

Thank Dog it was a trained peace officer, if some “civilian” had that gun he would Shirley have shot the whole class!

This reminds me of the DEA agent talking to a class room full of kids (high schoolers, I think). He proceeded to draw his .40 caliber glock and shoot himself in the leg. There is a video of the incident posted on youtube unless it has been banned/censored/deleted/etc, for your own good.

I got curious so I googled it and the video is still available:

I remember that video, it was glorious. It was maybe a second after he announced "I am the only one in this room professional enough to handle this gun" that he shot himself.

I went to junior high in L.A. in the '80s, and our school had an LAPD cop, Officer Webster, detached to the school as part of the DARE program. LAPD still issued revolvers. One day Officer Webster was talking to a 1st-period science class and showing the kids all his duty equipment. He showed them his weapon, but when he unloaded it, he somehow left one round in the cylinder, and when he pointed it at the back of the classroom and pulled the trigger to dry fire it, it went off. Thankfully no one was hurt. I don't know how LAPD handled it, but he remained on at the school. All the kids really liked the guy, but they did tease him about it for a little while after. He took it in good spirits.

What did they call him? "Miss Fire"?
