Florida deputy Jesse Hernandez screamed “shots fired,” and frantically fired his gun after an acorn fell onto the roof of his squad car, making him jump.

    Did the guy pulled a muscle while doing his tecticool combat roll and thought he was shot lmao

    The only silver lining is that they’re so incompetent that they didn’t hurt anyone from their “Anyway I started blasting” gambit

      In the spirit of fairness and accuracy after editing my first comment:

      At least from this 44 second clip alone…

      The female partner cop keeps her cool. Keeps asking where the shots are coming from, never fires her gun.

      Jesse here is Mr Hair Trigger, and his female partner didnt start wildly shooting at the first thing she saw.

        I have a bit more sympathy for the partner for sure. I would be panicked if my partner is writhing on ground screaming “I’m hit!” as well.

          Exactly, from her perspective its officer down, time to get serious!

          But she got the right kind of serious, the kind they theoretically train you to be.

          What a shit show. Glad she kept her cool but goddamn is this ridiculous.
