Chinese police officer shoots reporter at anti-gun briefing

Well that's not exactly fair... I mean as an officer of the law he's a trained individual... as a Chinese officer of the law which to me if I equate correctly he's a militarily trained individual.
The gun was homemade which means it could have just as equally gone off in the perp's hand or anyone else's.
Of course the idiotcy of it all... is... why the hell was it loaded?

Should I feel guilty for laughing at this?

They had a DEA video from a school in Florida where the DEA agent, who also said he was an 'expert', aced himself to.
They should all say, 'do as I say, don't do as I do!"

That doesn't necessarily mean he's competant, the only thing that means is that he should know better than to have his finger on the trigger.
only if they pull the trigger.
99.9% of unintentional discharges can be attributed to someone having their finger on the the trigger when they shouldn't.

Yeah, though.....you'd think they'd have 'disarmed' the homemade device before putting it in a press conference.
You are absolutely right there KenpoTex!
All I know is that any officer or demonstrator with a firearm should know that any firearm used as a demonstration tool should still not be flashing the people who are attending nor putting their finger on the trigger.
Where do these people come from?

He must have cross-trained with the DEA :rofl:
:rofl:
And why was such a gun a good choice for a demo?

It kind of reminds me of the clip of the female officer that almost accidentally shoots the guy on the ground while the other officer is putting the cuffs on him.

Something else to take into consideration here.
The Police in China, unlike the Police in the USA, do not always carry a gun and they may not be as familiar with them as a US police officer is. They are, I believe, a lot more familiar with guns other than hand guns actually but I could be wrong there.
This however does not excuse the officer in questions actions, unless of course the reporter was REALLY annoying.

Saw that one to.
Guys, here is a good way to remember your gunsafety when the chips are down.
KYFFOTFT unless you are going to shoot. Clint Smith said, "On target, on trigger, off target, off trigger", but you will find that when you are very nervious, you can quite easly fire the piece (not a 'A/D', but a 'N/D', negelant discharge.)
Massad Ayoob has whole articals on this subject. Several case studies of accidental shootings of suspects while covering them.
KYFFOTFT unless you are going to shoot, period. You will find if you have the time to bring the gun up, even just fractionaly, you have time to bring your finger inside the trigger guard and fire.
Even when handling the weapon unloaded (and how many people have died from supposedly unloaded guns) all gun safety rules apply.
