Officers should treat every gun as they are dangerous because like shown in this case they can hurt someone. He could say it was an accident but if I was the custodian

We believe that the Plaintiff is blessed to simply walk away with only a few broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and a severely sprained ankle. We do not in any way argue the existence or treatment of these injuries. However, we simply do not agree with the Plaintiff’s assessment on the long term impact that these injuries will have on the Plaintiff’s quality of life.
