Just somebody that needs to go back and train some more. I was taught in the academy and all training never put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot. Yes, I am a Deputy Sheriff, and I like C4's..

I can only imagine the C4 bashing tied to that pic when they post it.

Thats an old video. Academy's use that as a training video for weapon safety and indexing.

Well, the Corvette is Red. That might have something to do with it.

I disagree too.

Corvettes don't have a back seat so you're not going to get a load of teenagers running amuck in one.

I wonder why the 'vette driver was stopped and arrested? It's difficult for me to believe the Officers stopped him just for the hell of it!

If she had really been on target, she would have killed that guy! She acted like she was more scared of the gun than the guy on the ground...until it went off. At that point, he probably thought, If they couldn't hit me at point blank range, they probably won't hit me while I'm up and running, especially if I'm unloading this poop from my pants along the trail!!!

Maybe the guy on the ground stole the vette, and the cops love C4s and could not help pulling the trigger? Just a thought...

That guy was caught in the act of bashing that C4 if front of the owner. The female police officer is the owner.

Kind of funny how people make assumpations.
Did anyone consider that the cop just happened to take the bad guy down near a parked car that just happened to be a Corvette?
Could be the Vette has nothing to do with the arrest. That just maybe there wasn't even a car involved in this situation?

As for the accidental discharge, that's another story.

I am often forced to repeat: "All real Corvettes are Red, the rest are mistakes!"

Just kidding, usless a really ugly light green or pink one is involved.
