They kept referring to the gun as a “baby glock”, so I thought this was the new small one, but then they claimed it was a .22 caliber… Is that the 40 S&W, or could this just be some other gun and the media can’t be bothered to do a 2 second google search?
“…could this just be some other gun and the media can’t be bothered to do a 2 second google search?”
Yes.
Just like every semi-auto carbine is either an AK47 or an M16, you know every handgun is a “Glock,” so therefore any smaller handgun would be a “baby Glock.” Caliber is to be referred to by both standard and metric (i.e. .22mm), or if unknown, make one up.
Facts–Who needs ’em when you can control the narrative?

Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice…
What the f…??!?!
The language used in the article stands out from your usual “negligent discharge by law enforcement” article.
Phrases were used such as, “…pulled the trigger…” and “…accidentally fired it…” instead of “the gun discharged” or “the gun fired”.

“The second deputy pointed the weapon at the first deputy and – apparently unaware the weapon was loaded – pulled the trigger.”
TWO major fails in one paragraph.
