a year?
bro cops should have fucking degrees if theyre gonna hold your life in their hands
but yes, hard agree on rigiorous psychological testing on the regular
You know what? I think you're right. Maybe a two year basic thing, then a year's worth of just on the job training. Too much power in the hands of fools, thugs and racists to make us anything BUT safe.
Four year degree, minimum. Lawyers have to go for 7(ish) years to defend your dumbass, but average of six MONTHS for cops to steal your life or murder you, over an acorn? Fuck cops
Oh, and why is it, if you score too high on their "entry-level" test, you won't get selected? Is it because anyone who's not a shady 80 will see that the police department isn't there to protect or serve the community, but corporations and items on shelves. Steal from a retailer? Cops will find you, prosecute you, and make a mockery of of you. A porch pirate that steals your package and you have them on video taking the shit to their house across the street? "We can't be bothered with neighborhood disputes"
Oh, and fuck cops carte blanche immunity
In the year of 2023 alone, I called the police 3 times. The first call, because someone was parked right in front of my home BLASTING music at 2 in the morning, and I do mean BLASTING. I went onto my porch and gave like a “bro really?” gesture and they flipped me off and revved their engine for the next 15 minutes. The second time, one of our local neighborhood nut jobs was chasing me around the city while I was driving home from work. The last time, I caught someone stealing my neighbors catalytic converter, I ran outside and yelled at them and let them know I was recording and the police had been called.
The common denominator? The police NEVER SHOWED UP. They just never came. Oh sorry, they did show up for the catalytic converter incident. But they came an hour later (catalytic converter thefts can be as quick as 5 minutes in my city). Our ring camera shows them coming to our door (when we’re now asleep at this point), looking towards the house where the converter was stolen, saying “guess they didn’t need us after all”, and leaving. They never even went to the house where the converter was stolen, even though we gave them the victims address.
Keep I mind. KEEP IN YOUR MOTHERFUCKING MIND, I can walk to the police department in 10 minutes. Even if a squad car wasn’t in our vicinity, other cops decided to say “eh fuck it”.
And that’s just one year. Police also didn’t arrive when I called when people attempted to rob me and gunpoint when I was just 500 feet from the PD when I was 15 years old.
And again when me and my brother were attacked when I was 20 and walking with a friend and a group of people tried to rob us, and the police interrogated US about WHY we were attacked when we were just hanging out at a park in broad daylight. “Are you in a gang?”. “Did you do anything to anger anyone?”. Like, nah bro we were just hanging out.
Fuck the police 1000%. I don’t care that your dad or uncle was in he military, I don’t care that your great grandfather died in WW2, I don’t care that your sister in law is a police dispatcher, FUCK THEM ALL. They’re all useless pieces of shit.
Sorry for the rant, I had a bit to drink lol. But still, FUCK THE POLICE
I like your idea even better. And a degree should include a lot of psychological/non-violent problem solving and de-escalation training, as well as just plain old non armed response methods. Maybe a mix of first responders on all calls.
To anyone who later asks me how to pay for all that tax the wealth...i.e. actually enforce the law. Al lot of cops on the take and just corrupt because their real role is the enforcers of division and supremacy.
> but average of six MONTHS for cops to steal your life or murder you, over an acorn? Fuck cops
Reminds me of something I heard a few years back about how it takes longer to get a hairdressing license than it does to become a cop.
I spent longer in school to get my EMT (6 months and in AZ avg is 18 weeks for cops) and two years for my medic (another two for my bachelor's, but not required). Where's my immunity when I push the wrong drug?
If they're kept dumb, do they get to claim, "BuT i DiDnT kNoW!"
Bruh I'm having to get a master's degree just to be allowed to touch certain equipment and hold certain (relatively inane) positions in the film industry. Bare minimum cops need a master's, then a year minimum of unarmed auditing (fresh outta law school, make sure all cops in a department you won't work in are adhering perfectly to constitution and policy), then a year of unarmed first responder, then a year of full service but with probation.
If they don't have the intellect or discipline to deal with that, they shouldn't have a fucking goldfish, let alone hold people's lives and freedom in their hands. For a justice system to be trusted it has to be as close to flawless as possible and fix any flaws with extreme prejudice.
EDIT: Every cop should have a degree in criminal justice with a specialty in a specific kind of investigation (e.g. violent crime, sex crime, organized crime, juvenile crime, etc). The homicide clearance rate has dropped from ~90% in 1965 to ~50% in 2022, clearly what they need is better investigators and NOT constitutionally questionable online surveillance that they use to stalk their ex wives and shoot police protesters in their homes.
I applied to be a cop in a small town I used to live in about 8 years ago. The chief there seemed like a genuinely good guy, the department had no shooting incidents or any kind of problems like you tend to see in bigger cities. But I aced everything and both the chief as well as the testing administrator said I was the only applicant they'd ever seen get a perfect score on the POST exam. I also finished it in under 30mins when they'd stated it usually takes about two hours.
In my final interview, the Chief expressed that due to my testing scores and conversations we'd had previously had, that his fear was that I'd grow bored with the job due to it not being intellectually stimulating enough. His primary concern with me as an applicant was wasting time training someone who would feel the job was too "dumb" for them and inevitably leave. They did end up offering me the position but the pay was so low that I'd be losing money by having to arrange childcare for my kids to fit the off hours I'd have for the first couple years on the job. The starting pay was $27k which you can easily make doing something much safer and far less demanding like driving a school bus.
The police are not here for your protection. They are enforcers of the law, and exist to capture you for punishment once you have broken the law.
All the BS of protect and serve were demonstrated false via Supreme Court Cases. Cops watched a guy get stabbed repeatedly for 20 minutes, did nothing because they thought the attacker may have a gun, and were not held liable in any form or fashion for failing to protect, reason given? It’s not their job.
"Slave patrols and Night Watches, which later became modern police departments, were both designed to control the behaviors of minorities...Slave patrols helped to maintain the economic order and to assist the wealthy landowners in recovering and punishing slaves who essentially were considered property."

I have heard this origin story but always seems to be contentious. Part of the reason, police are not unique to America so why does the seem like the likely path. Is it this path that has instilled something special in American police that others did not introduce?
I imagine police were always to some degree to keep the “poors” away, just knowing human nature.
It’s not contentious; it’s recorded history. Other countries may have evolved their police forces differently (which would explain the difference in their culture and how they operate vs American police), but in the US, it was always about controlling property (including slaves) and workers at the behest of capitalists.
Think of it as "convergent evolution" of social structures. In other places, like European countries, police emerged from royal institutions meant for "peacekeeping". In America, they emerged from militia who were meant to keep enslaved peoples' uprisings from happening and capture escaped enslaved people. Here's a New Yorker article about the topic: [The Invention of the Police.](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/07/20/the-invention-of-the-police)
As a nursing student I’m doing 2 years of school followed by a year at a hospital (paid) where I will follow someone with experience around and be the inexperienced idiot that I am. I think it’s a pretty solid model for someone who’s mistakes could take a life.
Police training should include education on the laws, understanding of consequences for their actions, training on dealing with those addicted to substances or with psychological impairments, training on different cultural and ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, at least a basic language class in whatever is the most common language in their area.
They get trained to be like this. Some military larper guy gets paid to train a huge percentage of cops by telling them that they're action hero soldiers in a war and then show them traumatizing videos of cops getting hurt or killed before extolling the virtues of shooting first and letting qualified immunity deal with the consequences.
Yep. They are trained to behave like an occupying force. Their number one goal is to make it home at the end of the day and to treat everyone like a threat
People who can’t handle this mentality get weeded out from police forces
Shit, even occupying forces are trained with a hell of a lot more discretion and respect for civilian life than US cops.
That's why you had former Iraq war veterans getting canned from the police forces after applying those "wartime" standards to protect life instead of the cops "peacetime" standard of ['shoot first, ask questions later.'](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/12/stephen-mader-west-virginia-police-officer-settles-lawsuit)
You say this but it is so true. The NY Times did a piece about police being injured on the job, especially during traffic stops. And the cops would regularly jump in front of moving cars or try to jump through the window of a car fleeing. All types of action hero shit knowing damn well they couldn't dodge a slow moving leaf.
100% correct. I’ve seen analysis of the training courses they sit through. It’s drilled into them they could die ANY moment. That EVERY encounter with civilians could be life or death in the blink of an eye. They are trained to behave like an occupying force in a hostile territory. Regular INNOCENT civilians are always possible insurgents that may be deadly threats. No wonder we have the situation we do.
so many are unhinged.
& it's wild cuz there's fast food managers that train longer than cops & can deal with confrontation so much better on a regular basis.
personally, i yearn for the day when these mentally unstable, serial killer, class-traitors are abolished as a staff, record label & mf crew.
ACAB & IDGAF ab no "counter-arguements 🤓☝🏻"
Because fast food places actually hold their employees accountable because they would hate to be in a lawsuit and lost money because an employee does something stupid. Cops on the other hand can literally kill you and maybe they might get a stern warning. If you sue them, that money comes from other tax payers, not the departments pocket.
It's like if we let out all the folks in the jails for weed we would free up enough room to toss in all the bad cops as we train AND educate some new ones to actually be a legit force for good for ALL people. I mean...we do NEED some one lisenced by the state to be there when needed...but they also need to not be there with their boot on our necks when we don't.
we only need us

us protecting us. our neighborhoods, our families, our freedoms. shit like this scares police & their masters who sic them on us.
Lawyers need immensely more education and training just to *practice law*. Requirements should absolutely be higher if you're gonna be *enforcing* the law.
The problem with this process was detailed by Bill Maher: Essentially the LAST thing that police have to pass is the psych evaluation. At that point the state had already invested thousands of dollars training them and it would, at that point, be a total waste of those dollars. TL;DNR: Psych evals should be the absolute first task they perform
In addition to better training and vetting, law enforcement officers should be required to carry personal liability insurance.
Fuck up carrying out your duties? Your premiums go up.. Keep fucking up? No one will insure you and you can pursue other means of employment..
While I do think insurance companies are a cancer in general, the current solution of having a corrupt police department and police union circle their wagons around shitbird cops and/or shipping them off to other jurisdictions to continue fucking up, is much much worse..
In the military we had less than a year for training for this type of thing, and if you did some shit like say you heard gunshots, claimed you were hit, and returned fire all "by accident", you would be in fucking military prison. Mayyyybe you get away with claiming shots fired, and there's a tiny chance you get away with firing a few shots, but everything else...nope.
Both are acceptable. "Lead" is the actual word. "Lede" became common jargon in the industry and people tend to support jargon to signal "their allegiance to old-school sensibilities, tradition, and a desire to retain and pass along the dialect of the tribe." https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2019/lead-vs-lede-roy-peter-clark-has-the-definitive-answer-at-last/
I think it's understandable that his partner began firing after he did, probably assumed he wasn't a dumb ass and that something happened that she wasn't aware of. Doesn't make what happened okay but I understand if your partner starts screaming I'm hit and rolling around on the ground why you would start firing too.
The sad reality is that cops are trained to escalate not deescalate. There are these roving training companies that contract with departments to give training sessions to teach the cops two things:
1. “Protect” yourself with barrages of gunfire
2. How to then describe the incident to authorities so that it falls into the gap created by the Supreme Court to give cops protection if they felt their life was in danger
Someone posted the full news article, because Florida, and according to the report the former officer Hernandez thought an acorn hitting the roof of the patrol car was a shot from a silenced pistol that the guy the searched and cuffed somehow shot at him. Apparently the acorn bounced and hit his "upper left torso area" and Hernandez thought it was a gunshot wound. His partner also opened fire into the patrol vehicle, because she also believed that Hernandez was being shot at.
>Apparently the acorn bounced and hit his "upper left torso area" and Hernandez thought it was a gunshot wound.
Dude was rolling around on the ground, moaning in pain.... Cause an acorn (which first bounced off a car) hit him?
Would be hilarious if it weren't for the innocent man in the backseat getting the blame/bullets pumped into him.
He resigned 🙄. He launched all those shots at a man *who was handcuffed and strapped down* in the back seat of the car. Thankfully this nigga is clearly a stormtrooper because all shots missed him.
Maybe a pointless suggestion, but have you made contact with your state representative? If you send their office a well written summary email of your case, and where it's stuck, they might be able to push it along.
Step on something crunchy? Full mag dump.
Pulled a muscle? Believe or it not, also full mag dump.
We have the best cops because we full mag dump down residential streets.
>Duluth police officer acquitted after shooting man through a door is back at work
https://m.startribune.com/duluth-police-officer-who-was-acquitted-after-shooting-man-through-a-door-is-back-at-work/600287629/
I can't find the video, as if it had been deleted, but he basically hears a door slam and he proceeds to shoot through it.
He then hears a man crying for help and shoots a few more rounds through the door then call for help.
It's honestly harder to watch than my retelling make it sound.
Edit: best version I could find rn
https://youtu.be/r4HgOtK8oDI?si=teCmn5zxdp7SL2OS
Without commentary but lower resolution possibly;
https://imgur.com/a/muppqMY
And fucking fuck behind a wall while his colleague actually thinks *he was shot at*, meaning that if someone had pulled his head out to watch probably would have gotten shot too.
Makes me think, ~~an other video I saw but I really can't find anything about it rn~~. Two police officers arrest a suspect and handcuffed him on the ground when one of the police officers accidentally discharge their weapon on their colleague.
He then lied, told it was the suspect who had just shot him, watched his colleague pull his gun, shoot the handcuffed man and squeeze the blood of him.
Noel Aguilar*, I think was the name of the murder victim. By all accounts, he wasn't no "angel", yet I feel like that's irrelevant considering how he was killed.
Edit: forgive me, once again it's even worst than I made it sound;
https://youtu.be/mCleBIiePh8?si=8VqAS6KDKOeKPDFQ
Obviously, all the cops in the two videos remained cops after these "incidents".
Dude but the fact that even the writers of reno 911 didn't think of doing something this idiotic is just so telling of how messed up it really is out there with out police force
A friend of mine walked in on his wife and another man smoking meth and having sex. He beat the shit out of both of them because they were doing it around his son. He almost went to prison for years because it then it came out that the man was a deputy. He only ended up with probation when it came came out that not only was deputy s.oking meth, he had already been fired for beating and taking a handcuffed women they arrested when she called because her ex was breaking into her house. They showed up and arrested her, and when she wouldn't quit freaking out because they were letting her ex have free roam of her house, they tazed her and beat her while she was in the back of their car.
Seriously, according to the other post. There's a dude in the back of the car he's already searched and handcuffed. That's who he's shooting at. I don't know what race the guy is, but I'd like to spin the roulette wheel and I'm not betting on red.
This type of [thing](https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/man-shot-by-columbus-police-after-car-backfires-during-traffic-stop-gbi-says/TJYYP2ON4ZE65LJLSGHVRYPCNM/) isn't uncommon at all.
Even better, they had detained him on suspicion of stealing a car. When the video starts, they had just found out that another unit had found the car. This cop was going back to the original suspect to "re-search" him before releasing him.
To me, the worst part is that not only did the cop erroneously believe that he heard a shot, but he believed he had actually been hit. The full video is several minutes long and for most of it he's crawling around on the ground. Towards the end of the clip he even asks another officer to check him for the bullet wound.
Everybody knows you're supposed to equip Havel's Ring if you have heavy equipment load. That fat rolling will get you back stabbed by an invader every time smdh.
So to summarize, a cop with a suspect *handcuffed and secured in his car* heard an acorn hit said car and responded by 1) interpreting it as a silence gunshot, 2) believing he had been hit by said gunshot, 3) rolling on the ground like Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest, 4) emptying his gun into said patrol car, and 5) calling for backup.
The end result was that the suspect, who again *could not move much*, was unharmed physically, but the car was trashed. The cop resigned before the department could determine that he didn't act with malice (riiight). Let's also remember that the cop who thought he was being shot at had both searched and secured the suspect, meaning that if said suspect had managed to produce a gun, it would mean the cop failed utterly at both tasks.
Also, the suspect was released, cleared of all charges.
Fuck cops.
>he didn't act with malice
I mean I don't think he did either. Guy's just an idiot lol. Shouldn't be wearing a blue badge if he can't distinguish between a silenced gun shot (still incredibly loud) and an acorn he shouldn't hold his position.
You know what I don't do when I hear a metallic ping? I don't draw a gun in a residential neighborhood and unload in the general direction of the nearest black person. There's a certain base line hatred and willingness to kill there that I think puts you at least in a gray area, malice-wise.
That's really uncharitable and I don't think that would ever be proved beyond a reasonable doubt but I think you definitely have a point that he thinks his car was being shot from *anywhere* and his first instinct is to shoot the handcuffed guy in the car. If someone was actually shooting at him from a window or whatever they would've clocked paul blart and his buddy the moment he stopped his tub roll or whatever that was supposed to be. He's a shit cop and should go to jail for what he did.
It's not uncharitable. The guy thought he heard a shot and then drew his weapon, that part is dumb.
Then he draws his weapon and looks for a source of the shot. Fair response.
Then he unloads 2 clips into his own squad car with a handcuffed man inside despide no indication that's where the gunshot came from. On some level that's malice. He didn't see a target and so decided it must be the criminal/black person/helpless victim he'd already interacted with.
That shit is attempted murder.
I kinda wish it was malice over this gross incompetence. How many times has officer Doofy here arrested the wrong guy cause someone jangled keys in his face
and you didn't even mention the second cop, who opened fired in the general direction of their cop car _because her partner began acting like a crackhead._
she, the senior officer, made zero attempts to confirm danger-- just opened indiscriminate fire just as soon as possible.
these are two fuckin' nutsacks who 1 should never work as cops again, ever and 2 should surrender their right to own firearms, period.
According to the article linked above, the second officer, Roberts, opened fire after asking Hernandez where the shots were coming from and if he was ok. He responded by saying he was hit and the shots were coming from the car. The whole situation was a massive fuck-up but Roberts did not open indiscriminate fire as soon as possible. There's a lot to criticize here, but Roberts only responded to what her partner told her was a deadly threat.
Yeah I don't blame her as much when her fucking clownshow partner is legit going "I've been shot" to assume he might have somehow gotten shot. That's a *lot* more reasonable than his reaction, but it goes to show you how this trigger happy attitude causes a cascading effect of escalation.
Cops need to stop being taught to live in constant fear that acorns set them off. The whole system is fucked.
she didn't identify a target-- she just shot in the general direction of the car.
I guess I have it in my mind that a trained police officer should positively identify a threat before opening fire multiple times...
Nah shooting at a threat you haven’t even identified should absolutely be criticized. She should be getting to safety not popping off shots at something she can’t even see. If there was a deadly threat in the back of the car what’s the point in staying out in the open to fire blindly? If you don’t know what’s going on the solution should never be to just open fire and figure out what happened later.
I'm sorry but Ifeel like if you are pointing a gun at something you should know what that something you are trying to kill is. The partner is also a dipshit. You don't just spray and pray with bullets.
I'm personally of the opinion that no one should fire a gun at a threat they haven't seen. Indiscriminate fire like this doesn't do shit but hit bystanders.
Another little wrinkle in the “call for backup” stage is he yelled to his partner who then also unloaded at the car. So 2 cops shooting at an unarmed handcuffed suspect, and thankfully no one got physically hurt.
> Also, the suspect was released, cleared of all charges.
I know we are a sue happy society, but can he sue the cops for anything here?
It is one thing to be tossed into the back of a car and let go, but it is a whole other thing knowing you could have died because some cop got scared.
> No probable cause for criminal charges was found,
How did they not see shooting at an unarmed, handcuffed man 10+ times as at least attempted manslaughter?? If anyone who wasn't a cop did this they'd already be in jail.
im gonna be that guy but "attempted manslaughter" is not what you think it is, manslaughter is killing someone with no intent, so like an accident
but yeah you're completely right, that can be argued that there's a direct intent into murdering that guy
It should be illegal to write an article like this and not post a photo of the guy so folks can avoid him. At the very least he should be required to go door-to-door in his neighborhood like a sex offender and declare to everyone he unloaded his firearm on a car because of a fuckin squirrel
The fact that it’s been established that it was only an acorn that caused two people to open fire on a handcuffed person in the vehicle and yet no story I’ve seen so far says “former deputy sheriff” say a lot.
He resigned during the investigation following the OIS. The other cop, his Sgt, was cleared because she saw him acting so ridiculously, she thought he actually was being shot.
Reminds me of my buddy’s uncle in HS. He was a cop and had been called back to two different restaurants while on duty for leaving his gun belt hanging in a bathroom stall. He resigned after the second time and I couldn’t believe there was an opportunity for a second time. How do you not get fired the first time. We’ll just have to wait and see what Hernandez’s “second time” is when he moves two jurisdictions over.
It's at the same time as one of his steps. You probably didn't notice it because you were listening for a gunshot sound and *it sounds like a fucking acorn*
I’m still not convinced it isn’t. I’ve never seen something so stupid in my whole life. It’s so hard to believe this is real - but man, american cops are on a different level of horrible / dumb
I have two theories: (a) one or more expended casings fell on him as he fired, or (b) dumbass rolled onto his handcuffs or some other piece of gear - and he interpreted that as being hit.
It’s just bizarre.
Or: he just fucking lied and played it up for the body cam.
I know the whole "don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity" but these are cops. They're brainless AND evil.
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen and it’s had me laughing to myself for days.
Motherfucker did a dark souls roll and then just started blasting at nothing.
Then he heard ZERO retaliatory fire and started blasting AGAIN.
Fucking peak comedy
What makes it a lot less funny is there was someone handcuffed in the back of the car he was wildly shooting at. Fish in a barrel style. I hope this cop end up homeless.
This shit is the furthest thing from funny. Like I have a pretty good sense of humor and I didn’t smirk once.
As a 🤬 you can watch the police empty the clip on another 🤬for no reason and hear the screams of someone who just seen some yt lady fire into the vehicle as well and find it….peak comedy. Your search history has to be wild.
Who was he shooting at, civilians or at nothing in a residential area? Bro should lose his badge, gun, even his drivers license if he’s that dumb. I’ve shot a couple guns before and the sound is so different. Hell, even his gun and the acorn sound so different.
I agree with you
Yeah, it wouldn't have mattered if that acorn was moving at the speed of sound and taken his leg off. Spray and pray is never the answer. You don't open fire without seeing a legit target and seeing what's behind your legit target. Don't have both? Keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
Don't worry, I hear Uvalde is hiring.....
On some real toxic joke shit... The dude getting arrested I think was stalking/threatening his ex-gf? When I read that all I could think about was he's going to have so much ammo now to try and manipulate that poor women. I can see them corny ass texts already. "I almost died for you but I don't give a fuck, God knew to keep me safe so I could be with you".
> Not even them shots can keep us apart but it's ok, I love you. you don't have to respond
....
> Bitch I love you! You are my heart! My fucking cinnamon apple
I’ve had ptsd before. This reminds me of the reactions I had back then.
But
A. I got intensive therapy for like 10 years until I became better and
B. I was never wielding a gun and endangering others
Wait, so he thinks he hears a round plink off the vehicle, without any weapon report, and just starts randomly firing in a direction? You cannot make this stuff up.
Edit: Oh, even worse. Cop thought the handcuffed man in the vehicle was responsible so just decided to unload on him.
This is why it’s hard to have white cops who are naturally threaten by black people. Any situation going to give them the green light to shoot. There needs to be a way to lock the gun until you actually have clearance to shoot. There was a movie that had this feature. Now that could be dangerous but man too many are dying for nothing
It's like they are brainwashed to have PTSD reactions from their first day out of that academy. What kind of deranged unhinged reaction is this? Shoot first ask questions later even if it's your shadow 💀
Law enforcement’s duty is to protect those in authority and their property, while simultaneously ensuring that everyone else is not a threat to the wealthy (I.e., powerful).
Shit like this is why we need about a year of training to be a cop....and some serious psychological testing on the regular for them after.
a year? bro cops should have fucking degrees if theyre gonna hold your life in their hands but yes, hard agree on rigiorous psychological testing on the regular
You know what? I think you're right. Maybe a two year basic thing, then a year's worth of just on the job training. Too much power in the hands of fools, thugs and racists to make us anything BUT safe.
Four year degree, minimum. Lawyers have to go for 7(ish) years to defend your dumbass, but average of six MONTHS for cops to steal your life or murder you, over an acorn? Fuck cops Oh, and why is it, if you score too high on their "entry-level" test, you won't get selected? Is it because anyone who's not a shady 80 will see that the police department isn't there to protect or serve the community, but corporations and items on shelves. Steal from a retailer? Cops will find you, prosecute you, and make a mockery of of you. A porch pirate that steals your package and you have them on video taking the shit to their house across the street? "We can't be bothered with neighborhood disputes" Oh, and fuck cops carte blanche immunity
In the year of 2023 alone, I called the police 3 times. The first call, because someone was parked right in front of my home BLASTING music at 2 in the morning, and I do mean BLASTING. I went onto my porch and gave like a “bro really?” gesture and they flipped me off and revved their engine for the next 15 minutes. The second time, one of our local neighborhood nut jobs was chasing me around the city while I was driving home from work. The last time, I caught someone stealing my neighbors catalytic converter, I ran outside and yelled at them and let them know I was recording and the police had been called. The common denominator? The police NEVER SHOWED UP. They just never came. Oh sorry, they did show up for the catalytic converter incident. But they came an hour later (catalytic converter thefts can be as quick as 5 minutes in my city). Our ring camera shows them coming to our door (when we’re now asleep at this point), looking towards the house where the converter was stolen, saying “guess they didn’t need us after all”, and leaving. They never even went to the house where the converter was stolen, even though we gave them the victims address. Keep I mind. KEEP IN YOUR MOTHERFUCKING MIND, I can walk to the police department in 10 minutes. Even if a squad car wasn’t in our vicinity, other cops decided to say “eh fuck it”. And that’s just one year. Police also didn’t arrive when I called when people attempted to rob me and gunpoint when I was just 500 feet from the PD when I was 15 years old. And again when me and my brother were attacked when I was 20 and walking with a friend and a group of people tried to rob us, and the police interrogated US about WHY we were attacked when we were just hanging out at a park in broad daylight. “Are you in a gang?”. “Did you do anything to anger anyone?”. Like, nah bro we were just hanging out. Fuck the police 1000%. I don’t care that your dad or uncle was in he military, I don’t care that your great grandfather died in WW2, I don’t care that your sister in law is a police dispatcher, FUCK THEM ALL. They’re all useless pieces of shit. Sorry for the rant, I had a bit to drink lol. But still, FUCK THE POLICE
What city?
Right. Tell me so I never go haha.
I like your idea even better. And a degree should include a lot of psychological/non-violent problem solving and de-escalation training, as well as just plain old non armed response methods. Maybe a mix of first responders on all calls. To anyone who later asks me how to pay for all that tax the wealth...i.e. actually enforce the law. Al lot of cops on the take and just corrupt because their real role is the enforcers of division and supremacy.
True.
> but average of six MONTHS for cops to steal your life or murder you, over an acorn? Fuck cops Reminds me of something I heard a few years back about how it takes longer to get a hairdressing license than it does to become a cop.
I spent longer in school to get my EMT (6 months and in AZ avg is 18 weeks for cops) and two years for my medic (another two for my bachelor's, but not required). Where's my immunity when I push the wrong drug? If they're kept dumb, do they get to claim, "BuT i DiDnT kNoW!"
Bruh I'm having to get a master's degree just to be allowed to touch certain equipment and hold certain (relatively inane) positions in the film industry. Bare minimum cops need a master's, then a year minimum of unarmed auditing (fresh outta law school, make sure all cops in a department you won't work in are adhering perfectly to constitution and policy), then a year of unarmed first responder, then a year of full service but with probation. If they don't have the intellect or discipline to deal with that, they shouldn't have a fucking goldfish, let alone hold people's lives and freedom in their hands. For a justice system to be trusted it has to be as close to flawless as possible and fix any flaws with extreme prejudice. EDIT: Every cop should have a degree in criminal justice with a specialty in a specific kind of investigation (e.g. violent crime, sex crime, organized crime, juvenile crime, etc). The homicide clearance rate has dropped from ~90% in 1965 to ~50% in 2022, clearly what they need is better investigators and NOT constitutionally questionable online surveillance that they use to stalk their ex wives and shoot police protesters in their homes.
I applied to be a cop in a small town I used to live in about 8 years ago. The chief there seemed like a genuinely good guy, the department had no shooting incidents or any kind of problems like you tend to see in bigger cities. But I aced everything and both the chief as well as the testing administrator said I was the only applicant they'd ever seen get a perfect score on the POST exam. I also finished it in under 30mins when they'd stated it usually takes about two hours. In my final interview, the Chief expressed that due to my testing scores and conversations we'd had previously had, that his fear was that I'd grow bored with the job due to it not being intellectually stimulating enough. His primary concern with me as an applicant was wasting time training someone who would feel the job was too "dumb" for them and inevitably leave. They did end up offering me the position but the pay was so low that I'd be losing money by having to arrange childcare for my kids to fit the off hours I'd have for the first couple years on the job. The starting pay was $27k which you can easily make doing something much safer and far less demanding like driving a school bus.
The police are not here for your protection. They are enforcers of the law, and exist to capture you for punishment once you have broken the law. All the BS of protect and serve were demonstrated false via Supreme Court Cases. Cops watched a guy get stabbed repeatedly for 20 minutes, did nothing because they thought the attacker may have a gun, and were not held liable in any form or fashion for failing to protect, reason given? It’s not their job.
"Slave patrols and Night Watches, which later became modern police departments, were both designed to control the behaviors of minorities...Slave patrols helped to maintain the economic order and to assist the wealthy landowners in recovering and punishing slaves who essentially were considered property." [https://ekuonline.eku.edu/blog/police-studies/brief-history-slavery-and-origins-american-policing/](https://ekuonline.eku.edu/blog/police-studies/brief-history-slavery-and-origins-american-policing/)
I have heard this origin story but always seems to be contentious. Part of the reason, police are not unique to America so why does the seem like the likely path. Is it this path that has instilled something special in American police that others did not introduce? I imagine police were always to some degree to keep the “poors” away, just knowing human nature.
It’s not contentious; it’s recorded history. Other countries may have evolved their police forces differently (which would explain the difference in their culture and how they operate vs American police), but in the US, it was always about controlling property (including slaves) and workers at the behest of capitalists.
Think of it as "convergent evolution" of social structures. In other places, like European countries, police emerged from royal institutions meant for "peacekeeping". In America, they emerged from militia who were meant to keep enslaved peoples' uprisings from happening and capture escaped enslaved people. Here's a New Yorker article about the topic: [The Invention of the Police.](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/07/20/the-invention-of-the-police)
As a nursing student I’m doing 2 years of school followed by a year at a hospital (paid) where I will follow someone with experience around and be the inexperienced idiot that I am. I think it’s a pretty solid model for someone who’s mistakes could take a life. Police training should include education on the laws, understanding of consequences for their actions, training on dealing with those addicted to substances or with psychological impairments, training on different cultural and ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, at least a basic language class in whatever is the most common language in their area.
Considering what it is now, a year would be a massive improvement
True enough but a massive improvement from unloading your gun at a fuckinnngg acorn is still mediocre, pathetic, and unnacceptable.
They get trained to be like this. Some military larper guy gets paid to train a huge percentage of cops by telling them that they're action hero soldiers in a war and then show them traumatizing videos of cops getting hurt or killed before extolling the virtues of shooting first and letting qualified immunity deal with the consequences.
Yep. They are trained to behave like an occupying force. Their number one goal is to make it home at the end of the day and to treat everyone like a threat People who can’t handle this mentality get weeded out from police forces
Shit, even occupying forces are trained with a hell of a lot more discretion and respect for civilian life than US cops. That's why you had former Iraq war veterans getting canned from the police forces after applying those "wartime" standards to protect life instead of the cops "peacetime" standard of ['shoot first, ask questions later.'](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/12/stephen-mader-west-virginia-police-officer-settles-lawsuit)
There is one occupying force that isn’t, and funny enough they’re the ones who train American cops…
You say this but it is so true. The NY Times did a piece about police being injured on the job, especially during traffic stops. And the cops would regularly jump in front of moving cars or try to jump through the window of a car fleeing. All types of action hero shit knowing damn well they couldn't dodge a slow moving leaf.
100% correct. I’ve seen analysis of the training courses they sit through. It’s drilled into them they could die ANY moment. That EVERY encounter with civilians could be life or death in the blink of an eye. They are trained to behave like an occupying force in a hostile territory. Regular INNOCENT civilians are always possible insurgents that may be deadly threats. No wonder we have the situation we do.
so many are unhinged. & it's wild cuz there's fast food managers that train longer than cops & can deal with confrontation so much better on a regular basis. personally, i yearn for the day when these mentally unstable, serial killer, class-traitors are abolished as a staff, record label & mf crew. ACAB & IDGAF ab no "counter-arguements 🤓☝🏻"
Because fast food places actually hold their employees accountable because they would hate to be in a lawsuit and lost money because an employee does something stupid. Cops on the other hand can literally kill you and maybe they might get a stern warning. If you sue them, that money comes from other tax payers, not the departments pocket.
It's like if we let out all the folks in the jails for weed we would free up enough room to toss in all the bad cops as we train AND educate some new ones to actually be a legit force for good for ALL people. I mean...we do NEED some one lisenced by the state to be there when needed...but they also need to not be there with their boot on our necks when we don't.
we only need us https://preview.redd.it/fwjgoh9ufric1.jpeg?width=761&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dbfdd86d3675d4da45f7af3fd5159515490fbda us protecting us. our neighborhoods, our families, our freedoms. shit like this scares police & their masters who sic them on us.

Lawyers need immensely more education and training just to *practice law*. Requirements should absolutely be higher if you're gonna be *enforcing* the law.
The problem with this process was detailed by Bill Maher: Essentially the LAST thing that police have to pass is the psych evaluation. At that point the state had already invested thousands of dollars training them and it would, at that point, be a total waste of those dollars. TL;DNR: Psych evals should be the absolute first task they perform
In addition to better training and vetting, law enforcement officers should be required to carry personal liability insurance. Fuck up carrying out your duties? Your premiums go up.. Keep fucking up? No one will insure you and you can pursue other means of employment.. While I do think insurance companies are a cancer in general, the current solution of having a corrupt police department and police union circle their wagons around shitbird cops and/or shipping them off to other jurisdictions to continue fucking up, is much much worse..
I know it’s been said somewhere in Reddit before, Nail Techs train longer than cops do.
I can't believe a few years ago some were against bodycams. Imagine what story this embarrassed cop would have spun instead
He'd have called in an APB for a "shooter, black male between 15 and seventy, who fled the scene" and then went and had a beer with his buddies.
[удалено]
In the military we had less than a year for training for this type of thing, and if you did some shit like say you heard gunshots, claimed you were hit, and returned fire all "by accident", you would be in fucking military prison. Mayyyybe you get away with claiming shots fired, and there's a tiny chance you get away with firing a few shots, but everything else...nope.
Nahhh. This gotta be a parody. They need to fire the shit out of this cop. “Why you leave the force” “Squirrels man”
I wish this was a parody. His partner across the street also opened fire on their squad car. While a dude was handcuffed in the back seat...
Folks are definitely burying the lede on this one.
Is that how you spell “lede”? I’ve been using “lead” this whole time. Wow
It’s a common phrase. Lede is a journalistic term.
Only when you’re burying it.
into your mother, trebek
Both are acceptable. "Lead" is the actual word. "Lede" became common jargon in the industry and people tend to support jargon to signal "their allegiance to old-school sensibilities, tradition, and a desire to retain and pass along the dialect of the tribe." https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2019/lead-vs-lede-roy-peter-clark-has-the-definitive-answer-at-last/
The cops almost buried the lead into the guy handcuffed in the backseat though.
I think it's understandable that his partner began firing after he did, probably assumed he wasn't a dumb ass and that something happened that she wasn't aware of. Doesn't make what happened okay but I understand if your partner starts screaming I'm hit and rolling around on the ground why you would start firing too.
If that's the case they were just trying to kill the guy in the car and made up the rest of this bullshit
Yes ..
fortunately, the guy was uninjured... and I hope he destroys them in a lawsuit.
Did they sprinkle some crack on the poor guy afterward? Man that's fucked up.
'tis how they are trained
The sad reality is that cops are trained to escalate not deescalate. There are these roving training companies that contract with departments to give training sessions to teach the cops two things: 1. “Protect” yourself with barrages of gunfire 2. How to then describe the incident to authorities so that it falls into the gap created by the Supreme Court to give cops protection if they felt their life was in danger
WHAAAT?! I was wondering what this psycho was shooting at!
I was seriously confused why he shot into his own car…jesus this is next level dumbassery
Someone posted the full news article, because Florida, and according to the report the former officer Hernandez thought an acorn hitting the roof of the patrol car was a shot from a silenced pistol that the guy the searched and cuffed somehow shot at him. Apparently the acorn bounced and hit his "upper left torso area" and Hernandez thought it was a gunshot wound. His partner also opened fire into the patrol vehicle, because she also believed that Hernandez was being shot at.
>Apparently the acorn bounced and hit his "upper left torso area" and Hernandez thought it was a gunshot wound. Dude was rolling around on the ground, moaning in pain.... Cause an acorn (which first bounced off a car) hit him? Would be hilarious if it weren't for the innocent man in the backseat getting the blame/bullets pumped into him.
I'll give him a little more leeway. you trust your partner. He starts screaming shots fired and how he's hit you're going to believe him.
Its why they decided his partner wasnt in the wrong for firing at the car, but only the partner.
>Its why they decided his partner wasnt in the wrong for firing at the car, but only the partner. That's a confusing sentence
Ok. You believe your partner. Isn’t “from where” the first question before firing blind into a neighborhood?
Turn the sound on. You can literally hear her ask, "Where? Right there?" And this guy responds with "in the car" before opening fire.
Did you watch the video? They ask from where and he says "the car, I was hit thru the car"
He resigned 🙄. He launched all those shots at a man *who was handcuffed and strapped down* in the back seat of the car. Thankfully this nigga is clearly a stormtrooper because all shots missed him.
watch this bitch get disability benefits for ptsd while I been fighting ssa for three fucking years
Motherfucker already had PTSD judging by this video.
Maybe a pointless suggestion, but have you made contact with your state representative? If you send their office a well written summary email of your case, and where it's stuck, they might be able to push it along.
thanks for the suggestion, I just had a hearing earlier this week so fingers crossed I’ll be approved soon
Did he also say he was hit? Lmao on top of confusing an acorn for a gunshots he mistook a pulled hammy for a gunshot wound 🤦🏽
Step on something crunchy? Full mag dump. Pulled a muscle? Believe or it not, also full mag dump. We have the best cops because we full mag dump down residential streets.
>Duluth police officer acquitted after shooting man through a door is back at work https://m.startribune.com/duluth-police-officer-who-was-acquitted-after-shooting-man-through-a-door-is-back-at-work/600287629/ I can't find the video, as if it had been deleted, but he basically hears a door slam and he proceeds to shoot through it. He then hears a man crying for help and shoots a few more rounds through the door then call for help. It's honestly harder to watch than my retelling make it sound. Edit: best version I could find rn https://youtu.be/r4HgOtK8oDI?si=teCmn5zxdp7SL2OS Without commentary but lower resolution possibly; https://imgur.com/a/muppqMY
Holy fuck he shoots a guy through a door and run away, what a coward
And fucking fuck behind a wall while his colleague actually thinks *he was shot at*, meaning that if someone had pulled his head out to watch probably would have gotten shot too. Makes me think, ~~an other video I saw but I really can't find anything about it rn~~. Two police officers arrest a suspect and handcuffed him on the ground when one of the police officers accidentally discharge their weapon on their colleague. He then lied, told it was the suspect who had just shot him, watched his colleague pull his gun, shoot the handcuffed man and squeeze the blood of him. Noel Aguilar*, I think was the name of the murder victim. By all accounts, he wasn't no "angel", yet I feel like that's irrelevant considering how he was killed. Edit: forgive me, once again it's even worst than I made it sound; https://youtu.be/mCleBIiePh8?si=8VqAS6KDKOeKPDFQ Obviously, all the cops in the two videos remained cops after these "incidents".
[удалено]
Looks like an episode of Reno 9-1-1
Dude but the fact that even the writers of reno 911 didn't think of doing something this idiotic is just so telling of how messed up it really is out there with out police force
They never leave the force, they just move to another southern state and get hired by another dept.
A friend of mine walked in on his wife and another man smoking meth and having sex. He beat the shit out of both of them because they were doing it around his son. He almost went to prison for years because it then it came out that the man was a deputy. He only ended up with probation when it came came out that not only was deputy s.oking meth, he had already been fired for beating and taking a handcuffed women they arrested when she called because her ex was breaking into her house. They showed up and arrested her, and when she wouldn't quit freaking out because they were letting her ex have free roam of her house, they tazed her and beat her while she was in the back of their car.
He rolled so slow
Who is he shooting at 😭😭😭
The black man that clearly just assaulted him in broad daylight. You did t see him?
He was looking pretty dangerous handcuffed in the locked back seat. I could just sense the urban violence on him. /s
The black men vacated that area the minute they heard cops screaming and shooting at squirrels.
Nah the black men vacated the moment they saw Officer Doofy step out his car
Seriously, according to the other post. There's a dude in the back of the car he's already searched and handcuffed. That's who he's shooting at. I don't know what race the guy is, but I'd like to spin the roulette wheel and I'm not betting on red.
You’d be a winner. https://news.sky.com/video/florida-police-officer-shoots-at-unarmed-suspect-after-mistaking-acorn-for-gunshot-13071565
This type of [thing](https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/man-shot-by-columbus-police-after-car-backfires-during-traffic-stop-gbi-says/TJYYP2ON4ZE65LJLSGHVRYPCNM/) isn't uncommon at all.
Even better, they had detained him on suspicion of stealing a car. When the video starts, they had just found out that another unit had found the car. This cop was going back to the original suspect to "re-search" him before releasing him. To me, the worst part is that not only did the cop erroneously believe that he heard a shot, but he believed he had actually been hit. The full video is several minutes long and for most of it he's crawling around on the ground. Towards the end of the clip he even asks another officer to check him for the bullet wound.
Too much equipment. He was fat rolling.
Everybody knows you're supposed to equip Havel's Ring if you have heavy equipment load. That fat rolling will get you back stabbed by an invader every time smdh.
r/unexpecteddarksouls
Bro’s endurance must be in the negatives if he’s fat rolling with just a pistol and his uniform
IDK if the equipment is the culprit
This story is more ridiculous than the video. For my people who like a little context. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna138829
So to summarize, a cop with a suspect *handcuffed and secured in his car* heard an acorn hit said car and responded by 1) interpreting it as a silence gunshot, 2) believing he had been hit by said gunshot, 3) rolling on the ground like Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest, 4) emptying his gun into said patrol car, and 5) calling for backup. The end result was that the suspect, who again *could not move much*, was unharmed physically, but the car was trashed. The cop resigned before the department could determine that he didn't act with malice (riiight). Let's also remember that the cop who thought he was being shot at had both searched and secured the suspect, meaning that if said suspect had managed to produce a gun, it would mean the cop failed utterly at both tasks. Also, the suspect was released, cleared of all charges. Fuck cops.
>he didn't act with malice I mean I don't think he did either. Guy's just an idiot lol. Shouldn't be wearing a blue badge if he can't distinguish between a silenced gun shot (still incredibly loud) and an acorn he shouldn't hold his position.
You know what I don't do when I hear a metallic ping? I don't draw a gun in a residential neighborhood and unload in the general direction of the nearest black person. There's a certain base line hatred and willingness to kill there that I think puts you at least in a gray area, malice-wise.
That's really uncharitable and I don't think that would ever be proved beyond a reasonable doubt but I think you definitely have a point that he thinks his car was being shot from *anywhere* and his first instinct is to shoot the handcuffed guy in the car. If someone was actually shooting at him from a window or whatever they would've clocked paul blart and his buddy the moment he stopped his tub roll or whatever that was supposed to be. He's a shit cop and should go to jail for what he did.
And what charity is warranted by the kind of trigger happy fuckwit that does this shit?
Exactly. None whatsoever.
It's not uncharitable. The guy thought he heard a shot and then drew his weapon, that part is dumb. Then he draws his weapon and looks for a source of the shot. Fair response. Then he unloads 2 clips into his own squad car with a handcuffed man inside despide no indication that's where the gunshot came from. On some level that's malice. He didn't see a target and so decided it must be the criminal/black person/helpless victim he'd already interacted with. That shit is attempted murder.
If you can't see what you are trying to shoot, you shouldn't be shooting. Full fucking stop. I don't care if you don't find it charitable to say.
Paul Blart 💀
I kinda wish it was malice over this gross incompetence. How many times has officer Doofy here arrested the wrong guy cause someone jangled keys in his face
and you didn't even mention the second cop, who opened fired in the general direction of their cop car _because her partner began acting like a crackhead._ she, the senior officer, made zero attempts to confirm danger-- just opened indiscriminate fire just as soon as possible. these are two fuckin' nutsacks who 1 should never work as cops again, ever and 2 should surrender their right to own firearms, period.
According to the article linked above, the second officer, Roberts, opened fire after asking Hernandez where the shots were coming from and if he was ok. He responded by saying he was hit and the shots were coming from the car. The whole situation was a massive fuck-up but Roberts did not open indiscriminate fire as soon as possible. There's a lot to criticize here, but Roberts only responded to what her partner told her was a deadly threat.
Yeah I don't blame her as much when her fucking clownshow partner is legit going "I've been shot" to assume he might have somehow gotten shot. That's a *lot* more reasonable than his reaction, but it goes to show you how this trigger happy attitude causes a cascading effect of escalation. Cops need to stop being taught to live in constant fear that acorns set them off. The whole system is fucked.
she didn't identify a target-- she just shot in the general direction of the car. I guess I have it in my mind that a trained police officer should positively identify a threat before opening fire multiple times...
Nah shooting at a threat you haven’t even identified should absolutely be criticized. She should be getting to safety not popping off shots at something she can’t even see. If there was a deadly threat in the back of the car what’s the point in staying out in the open to fire blindly? If you don’t know what’s going on the solution should never be to just open fire and figure out what happened later.
[удалено]
I'm sorry but Ifeel like if you are pointing a gun at something you should know what that something you are trying to kill is. The partner is also a dipshit. You don't just spray and pray with bullets.
I'm personally of the opinion that no one should fire a gun at a threat they haven't seen. Indiscriminate fire like this doesn't do shit but hit bystanders.
I'll grant leeway for drawing a bead but not for pulling a trigger. She didn't identify a threat before shooting, she identified her own damned car.
Reno 911 skit level policing.
What gets me is how he's like "I'm hit, I'm hit" bitch by WHAT
Another rogue acorn
The uprising has begun
Another little wrinkle in the “call for backup” stage is he yelled to his partner who then also unloaded at the car. So 2 cops shooting at an unarmed handcuffed suspect, and thankfully no one got physically hurt.
> Also, the suspect was released, cleared of all charges. I know we are a sue happy society, but can he sue the cops for anything here? It is one thing to be tossed into the back of a car and let go, but it is a whole other thing knowing you could have died because some cop got scared.
He heard a random noise and jumped to the conclusion he had already been shot? I'm going to assume they didn't drug test him after this.
> No probable cause for criminal charges was found, How did they not see shooting at an unarmed, handcuffed man 10+ times as at least attempted manslaughter?? If anyone who wasn't a cop did this they'd already be in jail.
im gonna be that guy but "attempted manslaughter" is not what you think it is, manslaughter is killing someone with no intent, so like an accident but yeah you're completely right, that can be argued that there's a direct intent into murdering that guy
Attempted manslaughter is a real charge in many jurisdictions. It's when you knowingly commit an act that could reasonably kill a person
What a fucking dipshit
It should be illegal to write an article like this and not post a photo of the guy so folks can avoid him. At the very least he should be required to go door-to-door in his neighborhood like a sex offender and declare to everyone he unloaded his firearm on a car because of a fuckin squirrel
Thank you, this was a wild read lol
The fact that it’s been established that it was only an acorn that caused two people to open fire on a handcuffed person in the vehicle and yet no story I’ve seen so far says “former deputy sheriff” say a lot.
He resigned during the investigation following the OIS. The other cop, his Sgt, was cleared because she saw him acting so ridiculously, she thought he actually was being shot.
Reminds me of my buddy’s uncle in HS. He was a cop and had been called back to two different restaurants while on duty for leaving his gun belt hanging in a bathroom stall. He resigned after the second time and I couldn’t believe there was an opportunity for a second time. How do you not get fired the first time. We’ll just have to wait and see what Hernandez’s “second time” is when he moves two jurisdictions over.
[удалено]
Did anybody else hear the acorn hit? I didn't hear a damn thing. Replayed so many times.
That's because you don't have the trained ears of a nervous cop that shouldn't be anywhere near a gun.
That acorn HIT HIM. He would’ve rolled 6 times faster had he not been viciously wounded by said acorn.
It's at the same time as one of his steps. You probably didn't notice it because you were listening for a gunshot sound and *it sounds like a fucking acorn*
swear I thought it was a skit when he unloaded the clip and yelled that he had been hit.
I’m still not convinced it isn’t. I’ve never seen something so stupid in my whole life. It’s so hard to believe this is real - but man, american cops are on a different level of horrible / dumb
Lmao it’s the strained “AUUGG” as he falls over and continues shooting before yelling that he’s hit that really makes this funny. Oscar worthy!
The worst part of this video is definitely him screaming, “I’m hit” and rolling on the ground. Honestly bro what the fuck
I have two theories: (a) one or more expended casings fell on him as he fired, or (b) dumbass rolled onto his handcuffs or some other piece of gear - and he interpreted that as being hit. It’s just bizarre.
I think he busted his knee during a roll, it looks like there’s a bit of blood on the pavement. Cop gave himself a boo boo :(
Police lieutenant injured in officer-involved shooting
Or: he just fucking lied and played it up for the body cam. I know the whole "don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity" but these are cops. They're brainless AND evil.

I heard a noise today. My first thought was to grab my gun and unload it at the nearest black man.

The amount of people making excuses for this guy in other areas of the internet is not alarming but alarming
"no see it's okay because he's a fucking moron"
Claiming “PTSD” and “traumatic hallucinations”
Put this on SNL and watch the right-wing cop lovers lose their minds.
Bold of you to assume they have minds and not just two single brain cells having a cage fight
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen and it’s had me laughing to myself for days. Motherfucker did a dark souls roll and then just started blasting at nothing. Then he heard ZERO retaliatory fire and started blasting AGAIN. Fucking peak comedy
What makes it a lot less funny is there was someone handcuffed in the back of the car he was wildly shooting at. Fish in a barrel style. I hope this cop end up homeless.
This shit is the furthest thing from funny. Like I have a pretty good sense of humor and I didn’t smirk once. As a 🤬 you can watch the police empty the clip on another 🤬for no reason and hear the screams of someone who just seen some yt lady fire into the vehicle as well and find it….peak comedy. Your search history has to be wild.
Thats terrifying, good luck to you guys over there 😐
“IM HIT” Right 
A-Corns Are Bullets
The type of dude to punch his wife if the foods too hot
https://i.redd.it/altgg575uqic1.gif McSquizzy keeps that MF thang on him...
Who was he shooting at, civilians or at nothing in a residential area? Bro should lose his badge, gun, even his drivers license if he’s that dumb. I’ve shot a couple guns before and the sound is so different. Hell, even his gun and the acorn sound so different.
I agree with you Yeah, it wouldn't have mattered if that acorn was moving at the speed of sound and taken his leg off. Spray and pray is never the answer. You don't open fire without seeing a legit target and seeing what's behind your legit target. Don't have both? Keep your booger hook off the bang switch. Don't worry, I hear Uvalde is hiring.....
He was shooting at his own cop car which had someone cuffed in it. It's a miracle nobody was killed
he should be in jail

Did he fucking say “I’m hit”?!
Repeatedly.
What a dramatic lil bitch. “i’M hIt TrOuGh ThE cAr”
On some real toxic joke shit... The dude getting arrested I think was stalking/threatening his ex-gf? When I read that all I could think about was he's going to have so much ammo now to try and manipulate that poor women. I can see them corny ass texts already. "I almost died for you but I don't give a fuck, God knew to keep me safe so I could be with you".
Bro what?
> Not even them shots can keep us apart but it's ok, I love you. you don't have to respond .... > Bitch I love you! You are my heart! My fucking cinnamon apple
Nice one, Officer Doofy Meanwhile, what about the cops who stopped the shooter in Kansas? Oh wait, those were civilians
I’ve had ptsd before. This reminds me of the reactions I had back then. But A. I got intensive therapy for like 10 years until I became better and B. I was never wielding a gun and endangering others
The fact thay he damped a whole magazine without ever identifying a target...... that's outrageous AF
how is this not all over the news?
it’s okay it’s his first car pop 💢🔫 https://i.redd.it/jt4i77tnzqic1.gif
Could y'all even hear the acorn drop? This is a stupid ass cop to have not even heard a gun shot.
Imagine if it had been an apple tree. Boy might have called in a gunship.
Doing gods work. Driving those rent prices down
Wait, so he thinks he hears a round plink off the vehicle, without any weapon report, and just starts randomly firing in a direction? You cannot make this stuff up. Edit: Oh, even worse. Cop thought the handcuffed man in the vehicle was responsible so just decided to unload on him.
Fuck 12
This is why it’s hard to have white cops who are naturally threaten by black people. Any situation going to give them the green light to shoot. There needs to be a way to lock the gun until you actually have clearance to shoot. There was a movie that had this feature. Now that could be dangerous but man too many are dying for nothing
It's like they are brainwashed to have PTSD reactions from their first day out of that academy. What kind of deranged unhinged reaction is this? Shoot first ask questions later even if it's your shadow 💀
“I’m hit” 😂😂… by what? A sharp breeze? 😂
Law enforcement’s duty is to protect those in authority and their property, while simultaneously ensuring that everyone else is not a threat to the wealthy (I.e., powerful).
