There was this Florida school guard…

“WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — A school resource officer's gun accidentally discharged in the cafeteria at Weightman Middle School in Wesley Chapel on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.

“Deputies say the SRO was in the cafeteria, leaning against the wall when his holstered, duty-issued firearm accidentally discharged into the wall behind him. The gun fired directly into the wall and no students were in danger, according to the Sheriff's Office. There were no injuries to any students, the staff or the School Resource Officer.”

Two things: A gun does not just “accidentally discharge.” Today’s pistols require trigger pulling before the firing pin strikes the cartridge primer. Leaning against a wall will not cause a pistol to fire. Second thing: Why are school police always called “resource officer?” Are schools afraid to use the word “police?”
