The dogs probably have better training.
I refuse to belive the dogs are willing and knowing participants in this opression of the working class. they are clearly brainwashed
Was this about the cop who went full schizo, did two barrel rolls and magdumped the back of his police car?
With a person hancuffed in the back seat of the vheicle he shot at.
No. This is about the new movie by M. Night Shamalan - "Deez Nuts" it's about killer nuts trying to takeover a small Midwestern town. Apparently his kid developed nut allergies and it was his inspiration to produce this film.
The thing about that cop and the acorn is crazy tho yo.
Yup.
And the second cop pops in no idea why there's shooting or from where, so she also starts emptying her mag into whatever she sees
"I've been hit" lol.
I've been hit by, I've been struck by, a smooth ... acorn
By the way...this actually happened. A cop lost his shit and screamed "SHOTS FIRED!" when an acorn fell near him. He started shooting all over the place in a suberb which caused another cop nearby to also start shooting at nothing.
Why do we train our cops to be so terrified of everything?
The ones that freak out over an acorn are cheaper and easier to brainwash.
I think it might be hiring. I've got a relative who was too paranoid and antsy for the post office, but he's fit right in as a sheriff's deputy. I'm glad he found a place to belong.
Some context regarding this meme. The police officer is a war veteran, who probably has massive PTSD and reacted accordingly.
Now why the hell would the police service hire a guy who is clearly unfit for service is a major American moment.
Do you have any evidence of the "war veteran" part of this, or literally anything to indicate that he has PTSD besides your own assertion that he "probably" has it? The only thing I can find is that he was in Afghanistan but never saw any combat. Are there things in Afghanistan that could cause PTSD? Sure. Is there any evidence that he has PTSD? Not that I've seen.
You know who probably does have massive PTSD? The cuffed guy in the back that was almost executed by two cops because one of them was so effing stupid that he thought he'd been shot by an acorn. He did not "react accordingly." He reacted like a trigger-happy moron. The only useful part of this is that he's resigned.
And my question is, why should I give respect to someone who is violating rights of individuals domesticly as a police officer, and has likley committed war crimes and rights violations abrod, or atleast aided and abeded said war crimes. I only see this as more meme worthy. I understand PTSD is no joke, but at some point, the position of power and betrayal of your class removes the sympathy I would otherwise have for you
Sorry if my message didn't convey this.
I didn't ask for sympathy for anyone on this. It's more towards the process is absolutely fucking broken. It was obvious that something like that can happen to any person with more than 2 brain cells. And yet, the decisions we were made to put a person in a situation where he was bound to fail.
Never forget that a second officer opened fire due to the first dumbass shooting at an acorn.
And despite targeting a handcuffed person confined in the back seat of a car, they missed every shot.
Is this a fucking joke to you?
Acorns are the only thing standing between us and the criminal element.
- man hears a noise.
- he's hit (only in his imagination).
- rolls like movie characters.
- shoots to his own car.
- handcuffed victim ends unhurt.
Yes. Trained.
It's hilarious that even amateurs with practically no experience are more responsible with firearms than US cops.
Because they face consequences for their actions.
Acorns take between 5 and 24 months to mature.
Police training is around 21 weeks (5.25 months)
Coincidence? 🤔
Someone loop me in with the acorn, seen it in a few memes now :/
Amagad. I regret asking
#JustAmericaThings
A cop had someone handcuffed in the backseat, an acorn landed on the car, the cop panicked thought he'd been shot and emptied his gun at his car, somehow not killing the person handcuffed in back.
The fuck is a "trained" police officer?
police training == everything is a threat, even tree nut
Did the pig end up busting the nut?
No just his own car.
[snort] "trained"
Acorn uses decoy black guy already detained in police car.
It's super effective!
Maybe a TRAINED police officer would. Not whatever they have in the US.
We trained them poorly, on purpose, as a prank on all brown people. And socialists. And queers. And the unhoused. And drug enjoyers. And everyone that doesn't do what the state says at all times.
I don't know, but that acorn has a really nice hat.
acorn cuz a cop couldn't hit an acorn once even if they went through their entire presinct's ammo supply
