BODY CAMERA: Okaloosa County sheriff's deputies open fire on unarmed, handcuffed man in patrol car.

Shocking body-camera footage released this week showed a Florida cop’s dangerous overreaction, in which he dropped, rolled, and unloaded an entire clip from his pistol in the direction of a restrained suspect after mistaking an acorn falling on his patrol car for a gunshot.

The dude emptied his gun into a guy handcuffed in the backseat of a patrol car?

Acorns hit my truck all the time in the driveway and it sounds nothing like a gunshot. What an idiot

Thankfully the dude in the police car didn't get hit. A cop unloaded a whole clip and didn't hit his target. An innocent bystander could have easily been hit. What a fricking dumbass...

Apparently the guy being arrested was known to have a silencer on his gun. Nevertheless, this is ridiculous. Cop let his imagination run wild and had a panic attack.

Mistaking an acorn falling as a gunshot is bad enough but yelling "I'm hit" is an entirely different level of stupid.

Reno 911 decided to not air this episode because it was too ridiculous.

And this story is on the same page as a topic about a guy with a high IQ who is not allowed to join the police force.
