Not only is his finger on the trigger but the weapon is cocked.

That's an M1911. They're designed to be carried in condition one, which means that the hammer is cocked and the manual safety is engaged, otherwise known as "cocked and locked."

His trigger discipline is still inexcusable.

And a law enforcement "professional" shouldn't be carrying a gun that is "cocked and locked" SA firearms are not safe for everyone involved.
Don't worry dude it's probably not loaded.

cue cries of "every gun is always loaded"

I don't know why you're getting down voted, maybe people don't know the first rule of gun safety: Always treat the firearm as if it is loaded. (which on the internet is "the gun is always loaded" shorthand.)
