oh for sure. Where he fucked up is he attacked a civilian and its on video. This fucker has probably been harassing black recruits for years and getting away with it under the cover of his job but embarrassing the Army publicly? He’s fucked. 

This man is a staff sgt.  He is in no way shape or form an officer.  

Are we sure this wasn’t Joe Walsh making sure his Maserati could still go 185?

Oh no... don’t tell me they’re remaking The Longest Yard *again*…

I say this all the time when toddlers shoot themselves or others.  It’s 100% negligence on someone’s part.  No bullet is fired blamelessly.

And accountability, which these clowns have zero.

With great power comes great responsibility, I’m sure I heard that somewhere.

There should be zero tolerance for accidents if you are a police officer. If you can’t deal with that then you shouldn’t be a cop.

Imagine valuing Black lives so little that you don’t bother to discern the difference between an 8 ounce taser and a 3-pound gun. Especially because she would have had to turn the safety off on either one.

White America: Look, you can’t judge cops by one bad apple, no matter how many there are.
Also White America: LOOK THAT PERSON IS LOOTING THE PROTESTS ARE ALL RIOTS

If you cannot tell the difference between a taser and a gun you have no business in law enforcement. Secondly why are you trying to tase someone through a window? 

Listen, I don’t give one shit what the officer who discharged her weapon is entitled to.

There is no such fucking thing. You can have an intentional discharge, or a negligent discharge. There is no “accidental” discharge. That is basic firearms safety, page one stuff. Claiming accidental is flat out disingenuous bullshit. Neither Gannon nor this unnamed cop are fit to hold a firearm, nor fit to be a cop, …

I mean sure she does deserve due process but it looks an awful lot like negligent homicide or at least manslaughter from where I’m sitting.

This is Jalopnik. This is what Jalopnik does.

my Sunday was completely ruined by Twitter

Personally, I have nothing but respect for his god-level IDGAF. This is the best possible type of IDGAF, when you have someone flat-out ignoring onstacles in his path to do his job. There’s no way one excavator was going to get that ship freed in this lifetime. But one excavator was all they had, so like Mike…

This kind of recognition snubbing pisses me off so much. We weren't making fun my good man, we impressed with the size of your problem and the size of your determination. You did it, just like you said you would. Well done.

Dude needs more recognition, for sure!

His story is a pretty good metaphor for average workers everywhere. Quite literally keeps the business afloat and gets no recognition or even fair remuneration.
