The body camera footage is just astounding. An acorn dropped on his patrol car and he immediately starts shouting to the other officers that he has been shot. He immediately starts unloading his weapon on the patrol car with an unarmed, previously searched, and handcuffed suspect in the backseat. His equally dumb coworkers, without hearing or seeing any gunshots, immediately freak out and are ready to fire on the public around them. The suspect in the back seat was found to be uninvolved and never should have been in custody in the first place. He was immediately released. Unbelievable.

The officer resigning isn't enough. He needs to be charged with attempted murder on the suspect in the patrol car, assault with a deadly weapon, and public endangerment. The other officers should be terminated and charged with impeding an investigation.

If you're in today's environment - walking around with a bullseye on your back - you'd probably be a little more forgiving.

There are a bunch of acorn memes at patriots.win. I wondered what the story is.

you responded to someone who was obviously being humorous, nothing more. also you're being overly dramatic.

What a pathetic excuse to try and defend this disgraced cop. As someone who carries concealed, would I be justified to start shooting if an acorn hit my car? These cops are supposed to be professionals and held to a higher standard than the rest of us. You can be sure that I'd be charged if I pulled this stunt.
