I'm kinda busy, but I think the search results sum it well:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=police+negligent+discharges
About 1,430,000 results (0.16 seconds) for police negligent discharges
Not sure where to put this one; Accidental discharge, negligent discharge, or it's possible that discharge-while-pistol-whipping-a-boy is SOP?

I have no idea regarding the objectivity of this source:
"One of the dirty little secrets in the annals of police firearms training is the number of accidental discharges we experience"

You were trying to make a point........ "LEO's are trained to index at the low ready so I think your richochet and threat to life thought is a little much. Cops have a history of accidental discharge? Could you show me stats where this is a common occurrence?
So am I.....in spite of the available training, there appears to be high enough incidence of discharges of police weapons that justifies a threat concern for everybody.
Sorry, still don't see statistics that would show me their is a problem nationwide where it is a "common occurrence" Your PoliceOne article proves my point about the low ready.
