It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He rolled on the ground, unloaded a full clip into his own police car where there was a HANDCUFFED SUSPECT and yelled things like "shots fired" and "I'm hit"

When asked about prior military experience, Deputy Hernandez said he attended West Point, and was an infantry officer and an officer in special forces for the army for a total of ten years. Deputy Hernandez said he had two combat rotations to Afghanistan, but noted as an officer, he was not in direct combat.

so he didn't personally do any in combat, but he did order his troops to level several schools with artillery strikes when he heard a soccer ball bounce off a wall.

If he waited for a soccer ball he had remarkable restraint

the other cop (who had been on the force much longer!) also firing on the car is hilarious

It's truly a masterpiece

0:12.474 – Deputy Hernandez tries to stand up, but falls backwards.

0:13.4 – As he is falling onto his back, he lets out a grunt

Acorn comes into frame

first timeline entry and I'm already laughing

Lol that whole bit about a supressor in the report was either what got into this dumbasses' head and made him believe it was shots, or (more believable), it was what the two cops made up to justify having him believe an acorn was a gunshot.

0:03.597 – His patrol vehicle comes back into frame as he continues to roll. 0:03.8 – Deputy Hernandez yells, “Shots fired!” for a third time.

Deputy Hernandez asked, “Acorn?” Investigator Hogan answered, “Acorn.”

So it is. I thought I recognized the street. I've been down that road before when I have lived in the area. Talk about hitting close to home.

Do you wear a ~~bulletproof vest~~ hardhat to protect yourself from crime when walking through the neighborhood?

[–] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lmao does it say he resigned as soon as this happened

Gotta give it to him for realizing he's too fucking stupid to even be a cop!

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

His mistake was missing the guy in the back of his cruiser 30 times. If he'd killed the prisoner they would have planted a gun and rallied around the cop

🤣The frame by frame description sounds like a DnD campaign.

Heavy narrator voice: "Acorn comes into frame. "

Sergeant Roberts yells, “Jesse, are you ok?”

Final report Jacks on.pdf

That's the real problem with society. Things would be different if instead of jacks on we had jacks off.

I feel like this is too cringe for even Reno 911.
