Police Officer’s Rifle Accidentally Discharges in Casino

1. Trigger got snagged 💯

2. I bet it was because of how the firing pin operates. The rifle was on fire and the firing pin is free floating in most ar-15 platforms so just the motion of how the gun was in his hands while jogging caused the firing pin to strike the round? Just a guess

3. Wonder is safe was on and was a firing pin problem

4. Definitely snagged something on his tac vest

5. Move your Selector switch to SAFE and move out.

6. His webbing caught the trigger. They need to have all of the tac gear removed from civilian police officers. Its actually illegal by the Geneva convention after WWII to militarize civilian police forces so we dont have a repeat of the policing that was taking place in early 1930's. That means cops with military weapons and gear and using dogs as devices are ILLEGAL. LOOK IT UP! ITs ILLEGAL by international LAW to have a MILITARIZED CIVILIAN POLICE!

7. Still a negligent discharge. Not accidentally. The trigger never would have fired catching the corner of a mag of the safety was on.

8. Trigger snagged on his tactical vest somehow. You always keep the safety engaged on your AR till pointed at your target. Cops need better training seriously. Stupid mistake.

9. Negligent* not accident

10. Hair trigger and a hangfire? Maybe he bumped it when taking his hand off?

11. Maybe the Dimocrats are on to something. That gun tried to kill one of those bystanders all by itself!!!!!!

12. Man I hate it when my internet lags

13. I think what happened is his finger did actually hit the trigger while he was running, i see good trigger discipline but index finger looks like it pulled the trigger. Then it looks to me the gun had a hangfire… just putting my 2 cents out 🤷‍♂️

14. What Idiot cop runs with a long gun on fire … should be fired and charged

15. Good muzzle control if nothing else

16. Give that kid a BB gun until he can prove safe handling lol rookie

17. Fake.

18. Damn.That cop played that off pretty well given it could have hit and wounded or killed that guy at the slot machine.

19. Magneto was the headlining act that night

20. Finally, surveillance footage that isnt mashed potato resolution and more than 2 frames per second.

21. I like how he played it off like it was intentional.

22. How did that discharge, unless there's a delay, it seemed like he had his hand off the weapon a full second before it shot.

23. looks to me like a hangfire after he squeezed the trigger @ 1:11 and 1:28

24. Most AR’s are not carried in a hot condition in a patrol car. It’s not safe as they have a free floating firing pin. The safety cannot be engaged unless the hammer is in a cocked position. The officer most likely retrieved the weapon. Charged the gun. And never put the gun on safe. Like it’s been stated here, it most likely caught on a button or something on the officers clothing and discharged.

25. Good thing it was pointed down

26. Spent 10 years in the military. It's pretty clear the weapon wasn't on safe, and the vest triggered the rifle to fire. It fired when the officer took his hand off of the grip and was only holding it by the front hand guard. Officer wasn't moving while using safe weapon handling. Weapon should have been low ready in safe. It takes a fraction of a second to transition from low ready with safe to ADS on fire. That fraction of a second was ignored at the risk of everyone's safety. A rifle should only be set to fire if your dominate shooting hand is on the grip, finger extended, and thumb ready to manipulate the safety. Taking his hand away from the trigger and leaving the weapon on fire while doing so, and while being careless, was the cause of the NEGLIGENT Discharge, the department, and this officer, lied to save face. Hopefully the two people he nearly shot while being careless with his weapon can file suit for the damages to their hearing because I'm sure they would at least be able to settle. I see a lot of people saying good job on him for having the gun pointed down, yet I'd point out he had actually no control over the weapon and the muzzle was pointing off carelessly to his side with no control, this was literally what caused the ND. As a combat vet, that put me on edge and really shows this officer needs re-training. The only people who could possibly watch this and go "Good Job" are people who have absolutely, truly, literally zero knowledge or comprehension of weapons safety, firearms training or handling. '

27. Jesus that gun is fucked it just straight ghost fired

28. He didnt need a rifle in that situation. He just likes running around with one.

29. Trigger was caught by something on his vest 🤔

30. Probably a cheap China made gun

31. Most likely the trigger snagged in his uniform. By the officers reaction he knew it and knew it was his fault. If it genuine discharged all by itself he would’ve been much more surprised . He should’ve also stopped to make sure those right next to him were alright

32. n.e.g.l.i.g.e.n.t discharge, doesn't matter how unless it was a gross malfunction of the firearm you are still at fault

    Not to mention as to why you'd even go to a ranged weapon indoors

33. Something on the vest hit the trigger.

34. Safety should have been on until he was past civvies

35. Might be momentary malfunction of the pin that hits the primer of the cartridge, like from the hard running footsteps by the officer.
    Or like soneone else said here, sonething on the vest triggered, can't say fron so low res video

36. I know this casino! Those cops work tirelessly.

37. something on his vest had to have pulled on the trigger

38. wow really?

39. Weapon was probably swept off of safe inadvertently and the trigger caught something on his vest. I've had one or two instances where my safety was was swept of by my mag carrier or something else on my plate carrier. Never had a negligent discharge because everytime I put my hand on the grip using my index finger, I insure that safety is locked in the safe position.

40. why do you need an assault rifle if casino guests are fighting, what happened to nightsticks??

41. looks like the trigger got pulled by his gear. That's why you practice putting the safety off when going to shoot, and back on when you aren't actively aiming at something. Glad neither the officer or anyone else got hit.

42. It was his sling caught in there he was untangling it from the rifle and discharged the gun when he pulled it

43. Shoots a 556 indoors keeps running – "yeah no one will notice"

44. Sooo many YouTube legal experts. The number of Keyboard lawyers amazes me.

45. My confidence in police could never be lower….wait, what is this!?

46. Lucky ur on camera buoy

47. That's not an accidental discharge, its a negligent discharge. Safety on until ready to fire.
