It's got to be photoshopped. I mean, there couldn't be such a such stupid person, cop or not....Could there?

Despite the criticism of the United States this cop is a trained professional in Johannesburg, South Africa.

No danger of him blowing his brains out. He could never hit a target that small.

I'm just glad for his sake that it wasn't one of those evil "assault weapons". Everyone knows that they go off by themselves and start killing people.

That idiot cop reminds me of a story my dad told me from WW2 in which a soldier was riding in the back of a 6x6 with his chin resting on the butt of his rifle with the muzzle end down...the truck hit a bump, the weapon discharged and tore the front of the soldier's face off...another fatality due to carelessness and mom got a black-bordered telegram.

If the Muzzle end was down, there is NO reason this should or could happen. Maybe a sore chin, or even a few stitches. But hardly a fatality.

Obviously not a shooter??

....and under some circumstances, ala Boston, this law officer can enter your home without a warrant, scream orders at you, search you and your family, detain you and arrest you if you ask why. Not a "black helicopter" guy but the suspension of basic protections bothered me.

Have you ever had a gun go off when the muzzle end was obstructed by being tightly against the ground? Especially a shotgun? With a much thinner walls of the barrel than a rifle?

Ol' Frank Loc: Orlando,
 
It may be a good thing that he was not issued any ammo for the day. He just couldn't be that stupid.

No, I am not that stupid. However if I were, the side of the barrel would blow out from being obstructed. Same with a rifle.
