and proceeds to mag dump into the rear of the vehicle while the suspect is inside.
quote:

On November 12, 2023, an incident involving Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputies in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, led to the resignation of Deputy Jesse Hernandez following an officer-involved shooting.

Responding to a disturbance involving Marquis Jackson, accused of grand theft auto and making threats, deputies apprehended Jackson after the victim reported his possession of firearms and a silencer.

During the ongoing investigation, Hernandez mistakenly interpreted an acorn hitting the patrol car as a gunshot, resulting in both Hernandez and Sergeant Beth Roberts discharging their weapons into the vehicle with Jackson handcuffed inside.

No injuries were reported, and subsequent investigations judged Hernandez's response as not objectively reasonable, leading to his resignation, while Roberts was exonerated.

Damn, just watched that on Donut's raw videos. It's weird as hell how his mind convinced him into thinking he was actually shot. Crawling around and saying he's okay but also feels weird. Just fricked up all around.

Sounds like the opening scene of Copland but worse.

At least Superboy’s tire blew out, making him think the suspects had shot it out, rather than the car getting hit by an acorn.

So this Mensa candidate puts the suspect in his vehicle, apparently without searching him for a weapon (because why else would he believe the suspect was shooting at him?), hears what he believes to be gunfire coming from his patrol car, and then proceeds to shoot up his own patrol car? And the other fricktard cop joins in? Did they also arrest the offending acorn?

Jesus. How do they sleep at night with the boogeyman breathing under their bed.

Are they sure one of them wasn't actually named Roland Pryzbylewski. Next thing you know they will be punching Stan Valcheck.

I don't know how you show back up to work after doing something like this. Obviously this dude got fired, but how do you show your face again after doing something this embarrassing

Him saying he was hit, then says he’s hit in his vest is just ridiculous. One of the times the criminal actually deserves a settlement

I got caught in a hail storm while exiting I-10 to Airline over Carrollton, when the first hail chunk hit my truck, I though someone shot at me, then the second one hit and I thought they were still shooting. Then I saw the third one hit and realized it was hailing.

They generally just aren’t trained very well.

We’ve lowered training standards instead of raising them, or we give them a power point to learn something and expect perfection.

Is there a video from once they realized it was an acorn?

That was tough to watch. Reminded me of Ricky Bobby thinking he was on fire.
