It’s “accidental” if it’s done by one of “the only ones” and “negligent” for anyone else.

Many in and out of law enforcement (especially non gun people) continue to refer to unintentional/negligent discharges/shootings as accidents. My question is why a department larger than many armies had 2 rookies partnered together. That seems negligent on an agency level.

— Cletus, you have got to be the world’s worst cop.
— Not as long as there’s the NYPD.

@ nk
Put another way–
Cletus, you are the world’s worst cop.
As long as there’s the NYPD, I’ll still be a cop.
Nothing gonna happen to this guy.

As the very first comment to the linked article asks, “Did these cops not have flashlights?”
This reads like some sort of an ambush gone wrong, I think.

Did those cops not have the standard 12 pound trigger in their weapons?? Have you ever tried to shoot a NYPD Glock? I have. No way these thing go off accidentally. You have to try hard to make them go bang. The rookie screwed up and now someone is dead.

Would hate to be in that position, maybe if cops had more time to train they wouldn’t have this problem. Go to a range! Sign up for Classes!

Looks like they just ruled it a Homicide.

“ruled it a Homicide”
Meaning it wasn’t a death from natural causes, or disease.
“The classification does not imply any statement about intent or culpability, and as with all classifications made by OCME, the evaluation of legal implications of this classification is a function of the District Attorney and the criminal justice system.”
But it also doesn’t mean they’ll charge the officer with murder or manslaughter, which they should.
