  1. Avis says:

    Safety last apparently!

  2. ¡Great Scott! Chief Inspector says:

    Enterprise, I need you to lock onto my previous coordinates, and beam the entire Cuddle Puddle to this new fail.
    *with much shimmering the Cuddle Puddle materializes*
    *gets back into Cuddle Puddle*
    Saurian Brandy anyone?

  3. Lobster Bisque says:

    I’m the only one I know of that is professional enough t-BLAM!!!

  4. Screen says:

    I think i know why the “not even 16 year old boy” was killed, who he mentioned…

    He had a lesson at the beginning of the week at a different school.

  5. Josh1 says:

    It’s a blank. He did it for a demonstration to the kids.

    You think you could walk with just a little limp like that after shooting yourself in the foot/leg? The kids wouldn’t know any better. Aren’t we a bit smarter than the kids?

    Sigh.

    • Avis says:

      Sweets, watch it again. He shot himself.

    • Screen says:

      shooting a gun on purpose (even blanks) in a public school in the U.S.?

      Don’t think that’s the smartest thing to do (right after shooting yourself accidentally)

    • Lobster Bisque says:

      Josh1 just had a research fail.

    • Hollow says:

      I agree with Screen. I’ll add that if it was meant to scare kids away, he would had done this at the end of the demonstration, after giving them advice and telling them not to play with guns.
      In the present case, it just goes “This is a glock 40… BAM!”. It would be more effective to actually tell the kids “don’t touch a gun, it can go off unexpectedly” first.

      (BTW I know guns don’t go off unexpectedly. I just assume telling this to children is the best way to scare them from touching a gun. In my experience, teaching a kid or teenager how to use something is the best way to have them use it and think “I know how this works”.)

  6. Billwsu says:

    Actually it wasnt a blank. the rest of the video is on Youtube. He had to leave the class right after that because he shot himself in the leg and he was in pain. Look it up on the internet to read articles about the event, it happened a few years ago.

    • Lemme introduce you to the Reply button to right.

      Reply button, Billwsu
      Billwsu, Reply button

      Make friends.

      • Say g'night, Gracie says:

        I don’t wanna, and you can’t make me!
        *crosses arms and sticks nose in the air*

        • Leila ♀ - Made of Toxic Cocoa says:

          *hands on hips and tapping foot*

          Gracieee…

        • nightshayde says:

          *notices that you used the reply button to indicate that she couldn’t make you use the reply button*

          ;)

          • Little Girl Blue - Now With >ZAP!< Dot Org! says:

            *squeezylittleHalloweeniekitteh*

            I thought we were being brats ’cause she was making us befriends with Billwsu…

            • Little Girl Blue - Now With >ZAP!< Dot Org! says:

              *creeps into previous post*
              *sneaks a space between be and friends*
              *creeps out of previous post*

            • ZombieApocalypse says:

              WHOA!

              I just saw NS’s little HK avatar as another new one, I never looked that closely at it until you said that Halloweeniekitteh bit.

              NS, that’s one demonic little hello kitty you have there. Nice!

              • nightshayde says:

                :D Thanks! I found it at the end of September, and started using it at the beginning of October.

                I love Halloween!!!

                • ZombieApocalypse says:

                  We’re out-doing ourselves this year for Halloween. We typically have a little Halloween scene outside, you know a few (half dozen or so) jack-’o-lanterns, a skeleton or two, a wolfman hanging from the gallows, a black light showing off glow-in-the-dark footprints to the front door, tombstones, a witches cauldron complete with dry ice and warm water, stuff like that.

                  This year we have added a reaper that rises from the grave (we’re still working on his casket), a small bat that flies in circles (with glowing red eyes, of course) and a large bat (also with glowing red eyes, this one has a 6 foot wingspan) that we’re trying to get flying down a guideline from our neighbors tree nearby towards the poor tormented souls as they leave. Plus we’re hoping to stuff some old clothes so they look like kids and park my truck on top of them.

                  Oh, and I’ll be there too, of course.
                  ;-)

                  • nightshayde says:

                    That sounds awesome! We have some pumpkin lights around the flower bed (had them along the walkway to the door last near but some dumb annoying kid ran across the grass, tripped on the cord, and disconnected the whole thing. :roll: We also have a couple of fiber-optic jack-o-lanterns & other lights out and about. My Mom will be handing out candy on Halloween night while my husband, our daughter, and I play at the “Mickey’s Trick-or-Treat Party” at Disneyland’s California Adventure. :D I’m sooo looking forward to that!

                    • Avis says:

                      I asked my father if he was planning on doing something at his place to scare the kids. He said they only had two of ‘em last year. I told him the decorations weren’t supposed to be that effective.
                      The man has mannequins in his living room. Dressed in victorian type clothes. His wife is to blame for that.

                  • Judy says:

                    I would expect nothing less from you, ZA.
                    I loved the last touch – the kids under the truck. Classic!

  7. Perlin says:

    This is the best clip ive ever seen.

  8. Cloral says:

    Yeah, I would assume that you’re not the real Hitler.

    • Little Girl Blue - Now With >ZAP!< Dot Org! says:

      Was it the lack of mustache that gave it away?

      • ZombieApocalypse says:

        It’s the fact that he’s a part of my hoard. Didn’t you see him doing the monkey earlier?

        • Little Girl Blue - Now With >ZAP!< Dot Org! says:

          Aw, durn! I missed it!

          Heya, my zombie friend! You doin’ okay? I gave you some squeezes earlier, did you seem ‘em?

          • ZombieApocalypse says:

            Yeah, thanks. I’ll be fine, the test went off without a hitch so I expect Monday will be peaceful and not an angry hades pitchfork orgyfest. I just hate pulling teeth for 3 weeks only to be given 1 day to see if I’m about to screw up the live server.

            I’m so going to go see Zombieland a few more times this weekend. I need to laugh like there is no tomorrow.

            One of these days
            I'm going to look back on all this and laugh
            ...until they sedate me.
      • The Verb says:

        why just the mustache?

  9. coyote says:

    Speaking of fails (how’s that for a smooth link), did anyone else hear on the news about the airliner that over shot Minneapolis by 150 miles?

  10. Cloral says:

    Good thing he wasn’t carrying armor-piercing rounds. He’d be in a hell of a lot more pain…

  11. Catty Lyn says:

    H0ly. Wow.

  12. Say g'night, Gracie says:

    Totally off-topic:
    This video reminded me of Brewski. Does he have a brother?

    ht tp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzqMX6hOJ_M

  13. Ross says:

    Keeping cool in front of children just after you shot yourself, priceless

  14. breanna says:

    i though u said that is was not loaded and you knew how to work it wow ur pretty stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. Pasta Patron says:

    I’d hate to see what he did in his fire safety lecture.

  16. Karri says:

    This video is part of the curriculum in a gun safety course I took. He’s lucky he didn’t blast one of the kids.

  17. Say g'night, Gracie says:

    Posted this on the previous fail by mistake:

    Gotta share: I just gave a man I’ve been interested in for a while my phone number.
    *jumps up and down giddily*
    First I asked him if he’d call me if I did and he said, “yes,” so I gave him my phone number.
    *spins around in her chair three times*
    It has been a long time since I’ve done that.
    *collapses in a quivering heap*

  18. Ploerp says:

    Welcome to America! Where every ***** has the right to carry a deadly weapon.

  19. evan says:

    Detroit gun safety at its finest

  20. Gregorony says:

    Did anybody saw the bullet downstairs when it got through the floor?

  21. np says:

    Wasn’t this just a point-making exercise designed to scare the shit out of those in attendance?

  22. If he was showing off less and teaching more, he’d remember to:
    1) Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
    2) Always point your barrel in a safe direction.

    This video and this guy put me in a grouchy mood when it happened and now I’m having to see it again. I used to shoot competitively. Heck, even the kids with BB guns at 4H can handle a gun more responsibly than this idiot.

  23. Lawrence says:

    Not really his fault since the other guy gave him the loaded gun but he should have checked anyways.

  24. bobobobb says:

    and this is why pro-wrestlers shouldnt teach gun safety…………..

  25. SacuL says:

    lol afro guy

  26. JoeMomma says:

    Actually this dipstick works for the DEA, and knowing how the .gov works he was promoted soon after this

  27. Anders Holm says:

    maybe he should check the gun an extra time – next time…

  28. jake says:

    wow what kind of cop would have a loaded gun in a class ?

  29. The Big Black Man says:

    This is what happens when people hold their guns sideways….

  30. Hollow says:

    Just a thought, but doesn’t this incident has something to do with the fact that glocks operate differently than other automatic handguns? Something to do with a bullet being in the chamber at a point when an automatic handgun would not have a bullet in the chamber.

    I think there’s a bit of a controversy about glocks because the company refers to them as automatic but they don’t operate the same way as other automatic handguns.

    Just looking for someone to confirm all of the above. I don’t know much about glocks. I just heard the whole “glocks are the best handguns” argument is BS and people use this argument to show off.

    • bobobobb says:

      what do you mean different? hammerless? Glocks are generally semi-automatic pistols, but you can make them fully automatic. Im not sure how, but im sure that they are LE only. Also, the only controversy i remember about glocks is that they were one of the first gun manufacturers to make pistols with FRP/ABS plastics, and there was a rumor that you could get through metal detectors with them (which is 100% false becuse the slide, barel, firing pin, trigger, and all the niftly little springs are still made of steel).

      Anyways, he fails for several reasons. Either he did not bother to check the chamber for the round that was obviousely loaded, or no one bothered to eject the loaded magazine……….. His fault though, because he didnt check. BTW treat any, and every gun as if it was loaded.

  31. mr shrike says:

    That guy looks a lot like the guy who came to my old middle school years ago who talked about the same exact thing and pretended to shoot himself as part of his demonstration on how unsafe guns are… sort of what “np” stated earlier. Could just be a coincidence, too.

  32. notolaf says:

    Looked like a win to me — most successful “always assume the gun is loaded” lecture ever. You know, without actually killing or injuring anyone.

  33. lostmemory says:

    wasn’t this posted years ago?

  34. Gilgamesh says:

    There is no such thing as a Glock 40. There are Glock models chambered in .40 S&W (Glock 22 is the common one).

    Also, what kind of self-respecting Police department hires thugs like that to be gun safety instructors?

  35. Casimir says:

    This is why they say to treat a gun as though it’s ALWAYS loaded, even when you “know” it’s not.

  36. Laurence says:

    You guys know he did that to prove a point right? It’s a common stunt pulled by police officer in charge of teaching gun safety to kids. I saw the exact same video, with the exact punch line (guy shooting when he say’s he is the only professionnal able to handle it.) except it was a different officer. The text is almost a verbatim.

    The point of the video is to show that professionally handle or not a gun is always dangerous. (Or something like that, scraing kid is funny.)

    • eckostream says:

      I doubt they would shoot a real bullet in a room full of student just to make a point… so unless he shot a blank shot, this is definitely just stupidity at his best and not a set-up…

  37. adude says:

    i guess guns can kill people without the help of humans so…. guns do kill people…. or maybe stupid people with guns kill people ….any way it would be a good idea not to let stupid people have guns

  38. StreakyTSC says:

    I Shot The Sheriff, But The Deputy Shot HIMSELF!
    Is right… This couldn’t have been staged… That copper looks and acts like a total dickhead.
    I used to wonder why I hated cops, even after I had been in the MPs when I was in the Canadian Armed Forces…
    Of course, I didn’t like’em then, either…

  39. Jonny says:

    You can get free games and stuff at freethings4u.tk

  40. mitch says:

    he knew it was loaded they do it now to show kids not to think they are loaded they did it for my brothers hunters ed class

  41. Lee says:

    “I’m the only one in this room professional enough to fail my own foot off”

  42. cinia says:

    I think this single video is my all-time favorite fail. Thanks for bringing it back again!

  43. William says:

    Welcome to April 2004!

  44. Korilian says:

    They’ve shown this one before.

  45. Jim says:

    And this is why I don’t respect Police.

    And this is also why Police should have a college degree – to weed out the retarded ones.

    • StreakyTSC says:

      Why? The ones with College Degrees aren’t to bright, either…
      You have to be at the corner of College Drive near the seminary on the UofS Campus to see the way Tomorrow’s Leaders handle themselves with traffic…

  46. chunk says:

    They did that on purpose its suppose to be a joke that’s why he said i’m the only one professional enough! it’s a joke ha ha very funny mother f*cker

  47. Zeide says:

    Does that count as a work injury? If so that is a win for him, free money and vacation time :P

  48. Starby says:

    I remember reading an article about this guy: he actually sued the law enforcement agency he was working for at the time: something about they should have controlled the leaking of this video — now he was a laughingstock and couldn’t do undercover work anymore since he was all over the internet.
    Yes, OF COURSE, he won.

  49. elvendur says:

    i would have to disagree with this “fail” if it is being targeted as the speakers fail.. he didn’t shoot himself or anyone, which is always a good thing. safety first: no pointing.

  50. Jake says:

    professional enough my ass

  51. ajsflks says:

    Did he shoot his foot? It looked like he was limpingg xP
