A misdemeanor charge has been authorized against a Flint police officer whose sidearm fired during a wrestling tournament at a high school in Livingston County, according to the county prosecutor.
One count of careless discharge of a firearm causing damage to property over $50 was authorized May 22 against the officer, according to Livingston County Prosecutor William Vailliencourt.
MLive-The Flint Journal is not identifying the police officer because he has not been arraigned on the charge.
Vailliencourt said the man will be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. on June 7 in Livingston District Court.
He faces up to a year in jail or a $500 if convicted of the misdemeanor.
Vailliencourt would not discuss specific details of the case. |

"a Flint police officer whose sidearm fired"
All by itself?? What an odd way to state that he negligently fired his sidearm. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
