Thread: Really? How hard is it

I think it is pretty hard to draw a comparison between a hunter who uses a firearm in their recreational time and should only point and shoot at animals where as an aos officer whose job it is to point a firearm at and apprehend offenders with a said firearms and where said officer will and must point a firearm at a people in the course of their employment.

Completely different situations, I feel sorry for the cop but statistically this sort of thing will happen. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Yes it is different,

but imagine the amount of training these guys have had, compared to most rec shooter, no one is forcing these guys to be in the AOS.

but even if this guy caused a little trouble, he didn't deserve to be shot, a reckless mistake and the officer should face action for his mistake, if it was indeed his fault, the inquiry should hopefully clear it up and make recommendations to future events
