Cambridge police officer injured by accidental discharge of own firearm
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — An officer was injured Thursday by the accidental discharge of a firearm in Cambridge.
Officials said the officer was outside the Cambridge Police Department, at 125 6th Street, when the gun was accidentally fired. The injured officer was not identified, but officials said the gun did belong to that officer.
"They are currently being treated at this time for a leg injury," police said.
The media plays along again.

At least this time they didn't try and blame it on the gun going off magically when nobody was touching it.

I keep wondering if there is something about the fancy retention systems in police holsters that just don't actually jive with pistols.

But then he would be like.
Maybe an alternative would be heavy steel armor on the legs.

Seriously nothing wrong with Revolvers. But if they are so wedded to the semi autos then a gun like the Sigs the military uses with a safety, or one like my Sig227 with a decocker and is da/sa it is safer than the Glock with the trigger safety. The DA is a heavy pull so a light pull won’t cause a discharge.
