I carry double action. Here's my argument

I carry a Glock. One in the chamber. No manual safety.

That won't change. Period.

It's a training issue. Simple as that. It has nothing to do with the tools on the belt.

You know, it's crazy. The Googles will not show me a picture of officer Greg Capers.
Huh
I wundurrr why?

It's because the WaPo article identifies race of the victim in the first line, but obfuscates the race of the officer, presumably to imply that a white cop shot an unarmed black kid. That's not news reporting. That's propaganda.

It says in the article that Capers was black.

It does indeed.
The Indianola chief of police seems like he's been in the hot seat before. All over the state. I wonder if the officer in question had any previous disciplinary problems.

I recently bought a sig sp2022 for the da/sa option.

I like having a round in the chamber with the hammer decocked. I'm not as practiced or as confident in my ability to not shoot my pecker off if I have to quickly draw my firearm under stress/anxiety.

I go to the range or shooting when I can but I don't practice drawing from my iwb nearly enough. But I'm working on doing it more often.

Since we're going down that path.
I don't think poor trigger control is what lung punched that poor kid. He got shot by someone that was acting overly aggressive while on the job.

Seems to be a reoccurring issue.

Lots and lots of dry fire. If you carry appendix it's a little nerve racking at first. Understandably so.

...with only whatever limited capacity magazines the civilians are allowed to carry.

Cool, that's allowed. Argue all you want, I'm not going back to ancient tech.

I like my G17.

I like my Beretta 92fs.

I'm proficient with both and have no issues carrying either.

The Glock gets carried more, mostly because it's easier to replace and has less sentimental value for me.

I'll carry whatever I want. They aren't "allowing" me to do sh!t. Haha.

Then practice it snail slow until you are.

why did they have to make it clear in the article that the officer was "black". people have to stop segregating themselves by the color of their skin.
its bad enough he was a cop. .

It's easy to replace a $400-$500 dollar handgun. And we all know if we are forced to use our carry gun it's going into an evidence locker for a substantial amount of time.
