I think he is a product of copaganda. If he was a vet, he wasn't combat.

this

The suspect in the car was known to have at least one pistol with a suppressor. That being said, the guy was given a cursory pat-down and could not have had a suppressed firearm on him unless it was in him.

A properly setup suppressed pistol fired from within a vehicle would be fairly quiet, but would sound nothing like an acorn bouncing off a car and you would know if you were hit.

He has no business being a cop if he freaks out when an acorn bounces off a car and taps his vest. Luckily the suspect was not physically harmed and the cop resigned. Hopefully the suspect gets a nice payout from the city.

He's definitely PTSD and not responding rationally to the situation. This person is not competent to hold a firearm.

Watching the video with this context I feel bad for him.

Like, obviously I feel worse for everyone else affected. That poor woman!

But this man is broken. To the point where an acorn hitting his car made his legs go numb. Made him think he had been shot. Made him unload his magazine at ghosts.

This doesn’t absolve him or excuse his actions. It’s irresponsible for a man that broken to put himself in a position where he could snap like that.

But woof. I don’t envy him or his life.

He didn't shoot at the cop car, this article is VERY back the blue, bootlicking fuckery.

Him and his partner unloaded on the man they just arrested in the back of the car because they thought he shot at them. Luckily he wasn't killed.

While its terrifying that he easily could have injures or killed someone from the overpenetration of his rounds at this distance, I actually laughed watching this.

So anyways thats the only thing thats made me audibly laugh in 72 hours, Im jaded, hope everyone is doing great lol.

There's a whole cottage industry around training cops to believe they have the most dangerous job on the planet, and everyone is trying to kill them. Having been deployed to a warzone several times myself, we were NEVER taught to be as scared of normal people as police are.

The training is called "killology," and I'm not dumb enough to have come up with that name myself.

Whats really bad for cops is if they get mental help that is used as proof they are unfit fir duty. Yes a cop getting help to better handle their job is treat like a bad cop.

Add to that most cops are trained to always be on red alert. Always be ready and willing kill anyone at anytime. Everyone not a cop is an enemy soldier.

Mental health treatment, for both cops and soldiers, should be mandatory. If we are going to give them the power of life and death over another human being, they should have as much support as possible.

Personally, I think all police should be required to attend a mental health session at least once a month (even more, if they choose to). What happens in that session is entirely down to them. Hell, set up some games consoles, a TV and a small library. If they want to turn up and just read a book for an hour, that's fine! However, they should be required to be in the room, with a trained professional.

This would go a long way towards helping them. They can vent off, get some constructive tips, chill out, or fully engage. All would help. It also helps nip things like PTSD in the bud. Shooting a teen, because they drew a gun on you, and watching them die, is still watching a teen die by your hand.

In a perfect world, it would be a good exit path for retiring officers. Train them up, and they also know what it's like to be in their shoes.

I'd like you to stop insulting dogs like that.

He shot as much bullets because of an acorn like the whole german police force uses in a whole year.

He did. They missed him.

Thank you. I was wondering if they were ok
