A pig mag dumped into his police cruiser when an acorn fell on its hood cause they thought it was a gunshot. There was someone under arrest in the back of said cruiser.

Then his partner mag dumped into the same cruiser as well when nutbag kept insisting he was hit.

The partner at least asked "where where!?" a few times, but she still just empted a magazine into the same car a handcuffed, unarmed suspect was locked up in.

Luckily both shitbergs couldn't aim for shit and missed the guy with like 30 rounds.

Holy fucking shit..... This is worse than I even imagined....

In his partners defense, her perspective was he was calling shots fired, shooting at his own car, and on the ground saying he was hit, in her shoes I would of probably shot at the car too.

I agree to a point, but you should still not fire wildly ever, especially in a populated area.

If she could not find a target, she should not have shot the gun. Even suppressing fire requires knowing in general what youre shooting at. In this case, she should have dragged her partner to cover, called in the "attack" and maintained sight lines, looking for the danger. No bullet should have left her gun.

Acorn boy needs to be prosecuted for gross neglect and maybe even attempted manslaughter. I think she needs to be fired for poor judgement.

Google "cop in Florida acorn"

It's a good thing you added "acorn" there!

Fortunately he was a horrible shot and didn’t actually hit the unarmed man in handcuffs in his car.

And didn't he have a partner who came and did similarly too? Neither managed to kill the guy they had already previously verified had no weapons.

Hey, that guy in the car could have been some sort of X-Men mutant that had gun powers. You can never be too sure.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

That's one way to test if he had somehow gained the power to become bulletproof, I suppose. It might have worked better if they could at least aim straight though:-P.

Hope he's forever known as officer acorn, just like officer bubbles

In a just world he would be known as "Prisoner 0103151814"
