A gun that fires without a trigger. A taser that has no effect. A radio that dies during a manhunt. When law enforcement tools fail, officers die and killers escape.
The Sig Sauer P320 has been called one of the most dangerous handguns in police history. At least 120 people claim it fired on its own, including a Philadelphia transit officer whose holstered weapon discharged during rush hour, missing a pedestrian by less than half an inch [citation:6]. A Houston police officer was shot in the leg while directing traffic, his P320 still in its holster [citation:8]. In Bridge City, Texas, a detective's weapon fired as she grabbed her purse, sending a round through her leg [citation:3]. The gunmaker's solution? Carry without a round in the chamber. In Edmonton, a taser deployed three times on a man in excited delirium had zero effect. He died minutes later. In San Jacinto County, Texas, deputies hunted an armed killer with a radio system so broken they could not communicate. Years later, a fix is still years away [citation:7].
Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because when the tools of justice fail, the consequences are measured in blood.
