An NYPD cop is currently in stable condition in the hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the leg on Saturday. He reportedly shot himself while inside the 67th Precinct house in East Flatbush; the Post reports that he was re-holstering his gun after placing a suspect in a holding cell and the gun discharged. Unfortunately, the only thing we can think of is wide receiver Plaxico Burress and his accidental shooting of himself in the leg at a nightclub. That's one way of being able to compare yourself to a pro football player. Or this officer.
