Baldwin Calls For Police Officers On Set To Monitor Weapons Safety

Here's a wacky idea: don't hire a pink-haired teenage armorer who's more interested in taking selfies with guns than in learning to handle them responsibly.

Don't the police also refer to weapon specialists? Often the same people working in Hollywood? All your average cop knows how to do is keep his issued sidearm clean.

Too late, he's already committed the manslaughter, why isn't his sorry (and I bet it isn't sorry) ass in jail yet??

First, as a former deputy sheriff, I can tell you that most cops have no idea how most firearms (outside of their own sidearm) work.

Second, this function is not part of a law enforcement officer's duties.

Lastly, no law enforcement department would allow one of their officers to take on such duties, even as a private citizen, off duty and out of uniform.

This suggestion by Baldwin is further proof that he lives in the fantasy world of acting and movie-making on a permanent basis. He is an idiot.

Or maybe he could just check his firearm before pulling the trigger. Basic Firearm Safety Protocol.

Fucking idiot! What a film company need for onset safety is not police officers that are paid for by the general public, it's competent personnel who are given the time and support they need to do their jobs properly! This production had a cut-rate novice armorer who was expected to help with other props, who wasn't given a lock-box for the gun, who wasn't able to keep people from playing with the guns when they weren't needed for the shoot. All that was deliberately put in place, because it was cheaper than running a safe set.

This is Baldwin trying to deflect responsibility, not from himself but frmo the team of producers, including himself.

Wasn't he trying to defund them though?

AB would way less stupid and a little less guilty if he just

SHUT THE F*** UP.
