I didn't know why I was seeing acorns all over my feed but I think I can hazard a guess after seeing this. I'm guessing an acorn dropped on a cop car and the pig emptied his clip into someone?

    While rolling around on the ground screaming "I'm hit!"

    I thought you were making this part up for a laugh. I apologize for questioning your integrity.

    No. His partner also opened fire on the unarmed person in handcuffs because he was rolling around in the middle of the street screaming about being shot, so she said to herself "Well, he must have been shot because he's rolling around in the middle of the street like a jackass even though he should be taking cover."

    After reading the article, apparently her actions was deemed "reasonable"? What?

    Shooting an unarmed, handcuffed man because you can't differentiate between a gun shot and an acorn, and have zero directional hearing is "REASONABLE"?

    From what I read, they didn't shoot at the unarmed suspect but at their own cop car. Stable geniuses. I can understand why the sergeant's actions were deemed reasonable though, as she was trusting that her partner was in a life and death situation and not hesitating to back him, the truest of idiots, up.

    It’s gets even more ridiculous…

    A Florida sheriff’s deputy mistook the sound of an acorn hitting his patrol cruiser for a gunshot and fired multiple times at the SUV where a handcuffed Black man was sitting in the backseat, officials said.
