DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas police officer is on leave after firing her gun into a squad car floor when colleagues tried to drive her home from a bar where she'd drank too much while off duty.

Officer Kelly Beemer also faces a misdemeanor charge of discharging a weapon.

Video from a squad car camera shows two officers escorting Beemer to the vehicle Wednesday night. Inside, one of them tells Beemer they just want to get her home.

Beemer can be heard saying she doesn't believe them and demands the car be stopped. As the car continues moving, a muffled shot is heard. The car stops and the officers are heard repeatedly yelling "Kelly, drop the gun!"

No one was injured.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown calls Beemer's conduct reckless and unacceptable. Beemer's attorney declined to comment Friday.

And this is whose protecting us? As Charlie Brown would say "Good Grief!" :rolleyes:

At least she was off duty, whatever it's worth.

Even if she was off duty it's still not acceptable to fire her gun without justification. I see a mall security job in her future!

Good point. She'd be LUCKY to get a mall cop gig!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

What happened with her does not represent every man and woman
in law enforcement. There are plenty of good and upstanding police
officers(male and female) out there. I do hope she is fired from the
Dallas Police Department for her reckless and unacceptable conduct.

Yeah, but you know what they say about one bad apple...

And hopefully for her sake (and others) AA!!

Well, it is Dallas. You're expected to fire off a gun after getting drunk.

That is just a stereotype. Dallas is really the same as any major city. There are
both good and bad people, and not all people in Dallas fire their guns off in the street.

^ He was only kidding. Please, lighten up! We all know that not all people are good and not all are bad. It was just a joke!!
