National Guardsman in D.C. as part of Trump crackdown on crime charged after pointing gun at colleague

Comments

1. Lucas Larsen: Classic overreaction to the 'Trump crackdown' label - looks like some people still can't handle accountability
2. Kairomano: I wonder if being part of that crackdown gave him the sense he was above following protocol
3. Vossnoah: I'm surprised they're only now bringing up the Guard member's behavior given all the recent scrutiny of officer conduct
4. Silent Corvid: I've never quite understood how you can have firearms trained on each other in training exercises let alone actual patrols – what was the reasoning behind this?
5. Jonas: unbelievable that someone can be so cavalier with their firearm, especially in a situation like this where they're supposed to be setting an example. glad the guard member is
6. Elias: this is exactly why we can't have nice things
7. Miafischer: unbelievable that someone's guard instincts didn't kick in sooner to get them to put the gun away
