      A police officer recently got scared by a falling acorn thinking it was a gunshot. He then mag dumped dozens of rounds into his own squad car thinking it was the man he had in custody (handcuffed, searched for weapons already, and trapped inside).

      Luckily he struck with police precision. Meaning he missed every single shot and the guy was unharmed physically. Now he quit his job due to public ridicule.

      This meme jokes by extending the conspiracy theories around Taylor swift to include dropping the acorn.

        Didn’t know about that acorn thing. Wow. Maybe we should not make the bottom of the barrel into officers. Just saying.

      The context is that just recently Taylor Swift sent a cease and desist to the twitter account tracking her and other celebrity private jet usage because she is embarassingly bad about using it for tiny flights.

      The other side of it is the story about the cop in Florida who unloaded his pistol into his police cruiser while someone was inside because he mistook an acorn hitting the roof of the car for a muffled gunshot. He fired his whole clip into the car and yelled ‘I’m hit’ which also got his partner to shoot their clip into the cruiser.

      The context is literally a picture of a plane, the words “Taylor Swift”, and people keep upvoting them so people keep making more.

      No. We meme her because she threatened the guy who tracks her private jet with a lawsuit over him tracking her jet even though it’s public information.

      She’s just like every other billionaire. They act all philanthropic and down to earth until they have to deal with a real life problem minor inconvenience and then they show just how narcissistic they truly are.

          Because she’s currently one of the most popular people in the world. And also because of what I originally said about her threatening a lawsuit because someone is tracking her private jet.

          She was coming off as a super nice person and one of the “good” billionaires and then pulled this crap and it made everyone realize it’s all just an act.

          Also this isn’t the first billionaire people have made fun of for overusing their private jets. Elongated Muskrat banned the xitter account that tracked his private jet and the internet had a hay day with it. It’s part of where all those Musk memes started from.
