Glocks are double-action, and cops carry them with a round in the chamber. If you pull the trigger it goes bang. This has always been a boring debate in the gun community about whether this counts as condition 2 or condition 0 or whatever.
But really no cop should be carrying both a gun and a tazer. They sold us tazers as something cops would use instead of guns. But they still have guns, and now they have a torture device too.
I see what you're seeing in the video now, but there isn't a safety there. The feature on the gun is a slide catch. It holds the slide back (you have to pull the slide back first manually).
I'm not bullshitting you when I say that a Glock does not possess a lever safety on the side. There is no safety. There's just the split trigger, which goes unsafe as you pull the trigger and "safe" again as you let go of the trigger. It's equivalent to the grip safety on a 1911, but on the trigger.
Not really, because she's not actually doing anything when she moves her thumb there. Nothing on the gun is moving (and there's nothing to move). Unless she normally trains with a different gun she wouldn't have any kind of muscle memory to turn off a lever safety that might be located there.
Plus, I don't think I've ever seen a pistol with a manual safety that operates from that side; most are designed to be pushed to the left from the right with your right-hand trigger finger before putting that on the trigger. If they have one of those at all.
Most of them, I thought? Left side behind the slide catch.
I think I remember something about them having to move the safety to the right side to satisfy some military contract or another, though. (Looked it up, they made it ambidextrous instead of left-side only.)
so you're telling me anytime i had a gun to my head from a cop, if their fucking finger woulda slipped that woulda been it? theres no actual safety mechanism on a fucking cops gun?
Yes, if they're using a glock or similar style pistol. Welcome to the absolute joke that is a "trigger safety". There's a reason so many gun enthusiasts don't like glocks and similar style pistols.

Your link doesn't go to a specific frame in the video, but I don't know what she's doing or if it has any intent behind it.

Yes.
