Shit happens everywhere, even America.
Sure.. happens everythere. There may be good reasoning (and most of the time that is valid) to have law enforcement carry weapons - but, there are idiots and those with severe judgement problems everywhere.

Dunno what the "rules" are in the US notabook - but know of a law agency person there who would never pull a gun unless they were going to use it. And she played a role in a previous existance as a firearms instructor with 1000's of police officers.

Can think of two other instances - not in US, but where an asshole officer managed to shoot himself twice in error. Another was because a guy raised a fork in a restaurant and a cop pulled a gun in response - even fired - but the gun never went off
