female cops... where good police work ended

Why do they even let girls work outdoors?

A Florida police officer has been fired after she accidentally shot a driver with his own gun during a traffic stop.

Officer Shaun Lowry, of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, stopped driver Jason Arrington for running a red light around 5:10 p.m. on December 13, 2024, according to an internal affairs report shared by the sheriff's office. Officers Mindy Cardwell and Austin Weippert assisted in the stop.

Arrington, who police described as "cooperative" during the stop, informed Lowry that he had a legal firearm on his body. He complied with instructions to step out of the vehicle, police said on social media.

Cardwell then went to remove the weapon, identified in the internal affairs reported as a Glock .45 semi-automatic pistol, from a holster on Arrington's waistband. According to the internal affairs report, Cardwell "put pressure on the trigger of the firearm, causing the weapon to fire a round into Arrington's right leg."

Arrington told investigators that Cardwell "jerked" the weapon several times, causing the discharge, according to the report. Cardwell told investigators that the holster was tight and "would not come off" Arrington's waistband, and said she had been using her non-dominant hand to remove the weapon.
