- The Detroit Police Department should not be investigating this incident themselves, given that the incident involves one of their own officers. In Grand Rapids and its neighboring cities, any incident occurring in a jurisdiction involving one of its officers, is voluntarily investigated by an outside police department, usually the Michigan State Police.
Even if the Detroit police officer was completely blameless, a clearing of his name by his own department will be seen with far more suspicion than would an impartial outside department. The Wayne County Prosecutors' Office is apparently also investigating, but since those prosecutors work with Detroit police officers every day, their findings may be met with the same skepticism as Detroit's. - Reply to this comment
- Why are the police commenting on an open investigation?
Holes in clothing and powder burns on clothing will reveal
the truth. - Reply to this comment
- Law enforcement people want a simple to use handgun, draw, point and shoot
therefore S&W M&Ps and Glocks do not have any external safety or an external hammer. . The safety is part of the trigger. To fire, simply pull the trigger. Trigger pull is long and not a hair trigger. There are schoulder holsters that point the weapon to the rear and apparantly one of these was in use. - Reply to this comment
- Really!!???
You people actually believe this crock of sh*t? If this homicidal bozo wasn't a cop, he would be in jail charged with first degree murder. - Reply to this comment
- This weapon could have had the hammer pulled back if loose since the weight of the gun could slide the weapon back down into the holster while the hammer is caught at the top. Does not take much of a jostle to fire with him dancing and bowing and his rear pointed at her and her leaning towards him from behind. Yes, it is plausible. Tragic, but this is without the judgment of having
a weapon on his person while dancing. NOT a good idea and we have consequences. - Reply to this comment
- This story doesn't make any sense. What kind of holster would allow the gun to point upward and/or for the trigger to be pulled while the gun was holstered???

- There is no such thing as "having a safety mechanism in the trigger". It's right up there with saying his gun had a barrel facing backwards. The whole point of a safety is for it to be located apart from the trigger so it takes two separate movements to fire the weapon.

- None of this makes any sense. Waist holsters hold the weapon with the muzzle pointing straight down to the ground. If the weapon was holstered at the officer's waist, how exactly did the bullet strike her in the lung and heart if she were dancing behind him? How does one press hard enough on that holster in exactly the right place, between the trigger and trigger guard, to actually pull the trigger? If that's true, then the gun had to be pointing backwards and upwards (if she was, in fact, dancing behind the officer) and she would have had to push the trigger, not pull it. This just does not add up.

- So a police officer threw a party at his own home, and he carry a concealed weapon. Talk about paranoia, stupidity, **** poor judgement. Do you/we want such an individual to be a police officer? Call it what you want, but it is not a freaky accident.

- "The Smith & Wesson M&P primarily was designed for police and military use. It does not have a safety switch, but the trigger has to be pulled back completely for the gun to fire,"
OK, so how the hell could the trigger have been pulled back completely by her dancing behind him? I'm straight confused now... - Reply to this comment
