    This is what happens if way undertrained people are hired for police work. People who think with their guns.

      I think they’re overtrained by fear based training like Killology. They’re afraid of everything. I guess we can now add acorns to the long list of things that justify astounding incompetence and willful endangerment of others.

      This guy isn’t undertrained! He served two tours in Iraq. This is literally the result of training, not only training but training cemented by military service.

      This guy likely has PTSD. Should not be a cop, but you’re dumb to think he’s untrained. Not only has he likely seen live combat, the guy will likely be more proficient with firearms at 80 than you are right now; if he lives that long.

        Yup, the problem isn’t necessarily the total lack of training, but that the wrong training is happening, which could potentially be worse

          Absolutely, as evidenced by this guy freaking out about an acorn as if it were a silenced rifle being shot at him.

          This guy needs help, and should not be in a line of service that requires him to be in potentially dangerous situations. When your brain is wired to constantly evaluate threats you will create them.

        He is undertrained in handling situations. He fired blindly without a single hint of what was going on.

        Fuck the police, this dumb fuck idiot could have killed someone. Hell, he wanted to.

        Hope the boot tastes good.

          Man, you’re really fucking stupid if you think antagonizing people like this is a good idea.

          Hell, he wanted to.

          Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Turns out before this happened there were talking about a silencer that they could not find, and this is what was running in the cops head before the acorn dropped on the roof lol.
