From the cited article...

... Loads of people feel skittish on the job and can be spooked by the slightest noise, but if you're that kind of person it's maybe not a good idea to have a career that lets you loose on the streets with a loaded weapon. Something Florida cops are likely to consider after video emerged this week of a Florida cop firing all the bullets from his gun and running for cover after he was spooked by a falling acorn. ...

Holy pasture pastries....

... The officer, identified as deputy Jesse Hernandez, emptied the clip on his firearm back in November 2023 while attending to a call at McLaren Circle in Kissimmee, Florida. Hernandez had been attending a call in the area when an acorn fell from an oak tree and struck the roof of his squad car.

In body cam footage shared across social media, the officer was seen jumping to the ground and shouted "shots fired" after the acorn strikes the roof of his car. He then turned and emptied every bullet from his gun, each aimed squarely at his squad car.

While Hernandez fired on the car, Marquis Jackson, who was accused of stealing his girlfriend's car, was in the back of the police cruiser. Officers had searched, handcuffed and loaded the accused into the back of the police car and, despite being cuffed, it was Jackson that the officer thought was shooting at him.

Believing that Hernandez was under fire from Jackson, sergeant Beth Roberts then also fired her weapon. In interviews after the incident, Roberts claimed she opened fire as she thought "that I was watching him be killed." ...

WTF!?!?!?!

@#24 ... That was beyond irrational, beyond reckless, absolutely criminally negligent. He needs to go to prison. ...

While I may not disagree.

I would want him to face our Justice system first.

Then, if decided, screw his balls to a wall somewhere.
