This cop should have his badge taken away, should NEVER be in a position of authority again, and should find a job in a different field. He is not a good cop, and will never be a good cop. His actions were not only unsafe, they were disrespectful and demeaning to a fellow officer. Even if the other officer is a recruit, he is a cop. Someday you may have to trust him to back you up, or to back a different cop up. You must treat your fellow officers with the same respect that you expect and receive. If a civilian were to pull such a stupid stunt they should have the firearm confiscated and their firearm rights restricted for long enough to learn safe firearms handling.
