Do yourself a favor and watch this video. Literally the funniest and most horrifying thing you’ll watch today.

Holy fucking shit, I hadn't actually seen the video until now. I'd put a bullet in my brain if I had to live with that embarrassment. At least Taylor Swift is richer than God and she can just pay someone else to feel bad about flying everywhere.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I still can't believe that there are not just a few, but many cops that such bad trigger discipline and common sense. This guy shouldn't be allowed near any guns, let alone as a police officer.

Acorn falls on car. 'Shots fired! I'm hit!' Shots were fired. By him. At car. Man was in back seat. He not police now.

I thought for a second there were consequences for his actions, but no there weren't. He resigned and hasn't been charged yet.

And for the unaware, he likely resigned so he couldn’t be forced to aid in his own prosecution. Basically, a police department can force an officer to testify against themselves as long as they want to remain a cop. The department basically goes “we’re making your testimony a condition of your ongoing employment. So testify or be fired.” As long as he remains a cop, he doesn’t have a 5th amendment right to remain silent.

By quitting, he’s able to clam up and not aid in any investigation. And since he was given the option to resign instead of being fired, he can simply wait for it to blow over then get the same job in the next city over.

The fact that there's an investigation to be done is why I fucking hate cops. What investigation? He was literally caught on his own camera trying to murder an innocent person. An acorn hit the car? Fuck kind of excuse is that? I would get the death penalty if I killed someone with that pitiful excuse. People who are given a position of authority over others should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. I'll never trust a cop for as long as I live because of this shit.

And this… this sentiment.. ongoing and supported by their own actions as it is, is how they fall.

We have no respect for them and the institutions they uphold. They are gangs. We are an occupied country.

We should give them as much respect as they give us. None. They deserve nothing but contempt and misfortune.

That's why there's an "investigation." Because The SCOTUS was lied to, unintentionally by anyone alive at the time, in 1982 during Harlow V Fitzgerald.

Are you serious? I just told you that!

Well I know what movie I'm rewatching this week

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

He very likely mistaked (again...) one of the ejected casings hitting him for getting hit
