I'm sorry for the tragedy of course...but they recruited a bunch of gen-z marxists who probably never learned gun safety with grandpa before. There were some news reports about it awhile back and here were some of the training photos I found:

Look at them all smiling especially in the bottom photo...people who don't take that kind of training seriously have no business carrying a gun; especially in an official capacity.

Rolling barricade in the bottom pic?

So they only have 79,999 new agents?

By the time training is over with they might even have fewer agents. One thing for sure, you wouldn't want to be in front of the assault team.

Look at the way the black masked female in the second picture is holding her gun. Not only is she pointing it at her teammate, her grip sucks. Firing a weapon with a grip like that will result in one thing, a whole lot of uncontrollable recoil. And it's kind of hard to tell with the face diaper, but it appears that she may be laughing, like the whole exercise is some kind of game.

I started and deleted a couple of posts. It's sad a death occurred, but arming a collection agency is wrong, and has always been wrong.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts.

If I was a betting man, I’d say hardly anyone or more likely no one in the group had ever touched a firearm before their training.
I have a brother in law who is a cop in DFW, and he wasn’t quite that inexperienced before going to the police academy but pretty close. He’s been a cop for almost 20 years and is still awkward with a gun in his hand.
