Trick question. Police officers aren't trained.

[–] Dasnap 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The dogs probably have better training.

Was this about the cop who went full schizo, did two barrel rolls and magdumped the back of his police car?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

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 by, I've been struck by, a smooth ... acorn

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

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?

[–] saruwatarikooji 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] hibsen 27 points 4 months ago (10 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

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.

Trained, in this context is such a strong word.

Never forget that a second officer opened fire due to the first dumbass shooting at an acorn.

[–] Agent641 23 points 4 months ago

And despite targeting a handcuffed person confined in the back seat of a car, they missed every shot.

  • 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.

Is this a fucking joke to you?

Acorns are the only thing standing between us and the criminal element.

It's hilarious that even amateurs with practically no experience are more responsible with firearms than US cops.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

Because they face consequences for their actions.

[–] Event_Horizon 27 points 4 months ago

Acorns take between 5 and 24 months to mature.

Police training is around 21 weeks (5.25 months)

Coincidence? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Someone loop me in with the acorn, seen it in a few memes now :/

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

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.
