Lethally?
If you shoot an asshole, did you really shoot them? The hole was already there...
Finally, some good fucking news.

Until they start blaming protesters for it. Like Israel when their occupying forces run over their own unexploded ordnance and they blame it on hamas.
If the military get a purple heart when shot, what do ICE get? Purple colon? Purple sphincter?
Purple colon? Purple sphincter?
Why go with purple sphincter when orange sphincter is right there? On second thought, that might lead to confusion with someone else...
Blue balls.
Finally a good use of bullets.
Two former senior ICE officials told Newsweek that accidental discharges were not uncommon and often involved experienced agents rather than new hires.
What?
There's no such thing as an accidental discharge. There are negligent discharges and there are mechanical disasters. If it's not one of those then you intended for the gun to fire.
Negligent Discharge vs Uncommanded Discharge.
Negligent Discharge is where somebody carelessly caused the weapon to fire essentially via poorly handling it / being a dumbass.
Uncommanded Discharge is where the weapon essentially fires itself due to a mechanical failure or design flaw inherent to the weapon itself, such as a pistol firing on its own after being dropped and hitting the ground, despite the trigger not actually being pulled.
You can also get a 'hangfire'.
Basically, old or defective ammo can result in a situation where you pull the trigger, the hammer/striker drops... and then nothing happens for 5, 10, 15 seconds... and then the weapon fires.
Hangfires are extremely dangerous because yes, you did intend for the weapon to fire, but you also expected it to fire when you pulled the trigger, not... a random and unknowable amount of time after you pulled the trigger.
Though I guess you could get a hangfire that is initiated by an uncommanded discharge, if your Luck stat is somehow negative.
Read about this years ago. This is the only accidental discharge I've heard about. Worn leather holster pulls the trigger. In fairness, an argument can be made that using a worn/flexible holster was negligence.
Coming from a multigenerational family of LE and Military I can tell you first hand that NDs are never common. Not even slightly.
LE and ND?
Not everyone lives in the acronym country.
National Dickheads.
LE - Law Enforcement, ND - Negligent Discharge
Thanks!
LE = lawful evil
LOL. Now this acronym actually makes a lot more sense.
Depends who you talk to. I know a guy in construction who has had to patch bullet holes in several LEO houses. Also at the sport men's club I'm a member of, the only shooting injury we've had was from a state trooper during a training excercise. You're point is valid, though. NDs are supposed to be minimalized through training and adherence to the 4 gun rules. These guys are morons.
It's dangerous.
Don't touch that.
Not that way.
What an I missing? Is the fourth also the first?
- Keep your finger off the boom trigger until your ready to fire.
- know your target and what’s behind it.
- assume the gun is always loaded, even when you know it isn’t.
- never point it at something you aren’t willing to completely and utterly destroy.
They shoot themselves in the foot to get out of work.

Hyphenation is a beautiful thing.
Sometimes, you need a bad guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun.
Never forget: Hitler was the only person to ever kill Hitler.
It’ll be a national holiday when Trump goes. Just need to think up a properly passive aggressive name for it. Liberation day kinda works, but might be too ironic.
And that also makes him the greatest artist.
I mean consider this... using nothing but the concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his own grey matter as paint, and his trusty sidearm as a brush, he created the most impactful painting of humanity.

Lovely! Let's hope they shoot everyone of them between themselves soon.
Maybe because they realized they are the terrorists
