Looks like maybe she took an FN303 round or two or maybe rubber slugs to the jaw? Regardless of what the scenario was that led up to that, a head shot is always a no no with any less-leathal deployment, someone messed up on that one pretty bad. I took a rond from an FN303 to the head with a level IIIA balistic helmet on and it still rang my bell, I can only imagine how bad that hurt. We were using training rounds and the rounds we received from FN were apperebtly recalled for terrible accuracy issues. We didn't find that out until after I took the one to the helmet (which was aimed at my back, center mass).
The known fatal shooting with an FN was in Boston durring a riot, where a male was shot in the eye while on the run behind the actual target. It was a straight up accident, but as we all know, accidents with weapons of any kind are never acceptable regardless of the scenario.
BS.
unless you have a time machine, accidents happen all the time, humans can't make the world free from accidents, we do our best, but sometimes the best falls short.
that's reality, that's life.
Its not BS at all. The reality is that accidents with weapons, while they do happen, ARE UNACCEPTABLE! Police Officers as specially, are held to that standard every day. If I respond to a call where a weapon is deployed and I "accidentally" fire upon an innocent person, you can bet your ass I'll be held to the highest level of accountability. Understand the definition of acceptance before you post about reality of life. Acceptance doesn't mean that they don't happen or that humans are perfect, it simply means that authority above and beyond the actor responsible will and should hold the actor accountable for any accident involving a weapon. That level of accountability is obviously determined by the totality of the circumstances but there absolutely should be accountability none the less. To accept that "accidents happen" is simply a breading statement and enabling of incompetence.
