2.23 million dollar bail? Daaamn.....

A security video from inside the Los Angeles Police station where a veteran officer was attacked this weekend shows the officer get knocked to the ground and repeatedly pistol-whipped with his own gun before the attacker points the gun at the officer’s chest at close range.

    Any intel on that safety mechanism which let the trigger click while preventing the gun from firing? One of those palm reader guns, perhaps, which will let this be used as ammunition for a typical California gun control bill? Say, has any third party verified this "story"?

      Probably just didn't have a round in the chamber, and the double action kept clicking.

      Any hammer-fired gun will drop the hammer, making the "click" every time you pull the trigger if two things are true:
      1) The safety isn't engaged.
      2) Barney Fife wasn't carrying with a round in the chamber.

    ONLY 2.5 Mil? Why NO bail? That way no low-life financier can bail this POS out!

      County would rather have the money. They can hire another cop in the event this guy wants to quit. And there are always bad guys. Besides the jails are full

    The article stated that the gun was a Beretta 9mm - anyone know if the 92's decocker will allow a trigger pull to actuate a double action trigger cock but stop the trigger from hitting the firing pin?

      My 96 either pulls the hammer back if safety off or if safety on, the trigger is free floating. The 92 should operate the same way I believe.

    Carl raises a good point. The police industry standard Glock will only go "click" once without working the slide, a DA auto will click as many times as you want... IF there's no round in the chamber. Anybody know what kind of handguns LA cops are authorized? I can imagine a cop on light duty carrying without a round chambered (for instance, a 37-year veteran working in a station house).

    Yes, the Beretta 92 is authorized, and yes, an empty chamber is the simplest explanation for clicky, clicky, clicky, no bang. The others would be a dud round, a broken firing pin, or a broken firing pin block.

    ANYTHING about guns reported by media is suspect.

    Right, so this was in a POLICE station with loads of other POLICE around, so why is the POS still breathing instead of going for the dirt nap?
