anakin-padme-2 So the officer was charged with needlessly endangering the suspect's life, right?

No but he was humiliated into resigning

[-] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 39 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

the greatest consequence an American police officer can face, being humiliated into resignation and forced to find work as a prison guard, mall cop or PE teacher

"are you hit?" "it felt like it" started-blasting

I laughed out loud when the guys with rifles showed up to help him pick up the acorn

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 104 points 7 months ago

Fully eight seconds between him shouting SHOTS FIRED and actually returning fire. If he actually was being shot at he'd have died during one of his heavy encumbrance dodge rolls he pulled off. This man is unbelievably pathetic on so many levels.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 51 points 7 months ago

Dude ran I to a more open space and then played down for s while. If he was being shot at he would be mostly bullet.

Probably pulled a muscle doing his commando roll.

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 83 points 7 months ago

You laugh at him somersaulting along the ground but he needed those iFrames to avoid damage.

[-] tryitout@infosec.pub 44 points 7 months ago

Fat rolling has less iFrames.

Truly remarkable display of cowardice.

Like dear God this is beyond scared of your own shadow. This is unloading a handgun at a car because of an acorn.

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.

hahaha

[-] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 78 points 7 months ago

I just love how he instantly unloaded the full clip into his own car. Even if there really was a gunshot, just randomly shooting your own car doesn't seem like a good idea.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 60 points 7 months ago

I guess he thought the person in his car was shooting at him? idk, I'm not stupid enough to think like a cop.

[-] very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net 62 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Does that mean he had someone in the backseat of the car? sadness-abysmal

edit: they totally fucking did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVNnxr2SGFg

the people screaming are the person's girlfriend and someone else? holy shit.

The acorn is visible for literally one frame in the youtube video at 13:01. That part is hilarious but holy cow these cops deserve the wall and worse.

Has this asshole never been at a firing range? Gunshots are loud, how could he mistake an acorn for them except out of ignorance?

[-] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 55 points 7 months ago

Only thing I can imagine is his dumb pig brain is just wildly on edge, absolutely horrified of everything around him. His earballs are amplifying everything like comtacs while In a flight or fight adrenaline dump caused by a normal traffic stop.

Just insane cowardice.

He didn't think it was a gunshot, he thought it was an incoming bullet plinking off the vehicle from a silenced gun or long range rifle lmao.

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”

Like children playing pretend. Except you know, with deadly weapons and an immunity from consequences.
