Luckily the safest place to be when a skittish, scared cop does a mag dump is straight down range from him. Incredible the suspect in the car was not hit.

Come on now, could have been them steel cored acorns.

Here's a longer video. As with many videos on the Police Activity channel, it ends sooner than I'd like, but it does give more context.

I only hope it doesn't drive that girl back to the scumbag. I hope he dukied himself.

Cop-killer oak trees strike again!

Someone one needs to meme this with the Ice Age squirrel and his nut.

Scrat would NEVER let that precious acorn fall from his clutches. Especially if there was a trigger-happy tyrant about.

Lol, that squirrel has destroyed the world at least a few times losing his nut. Granted he always gets it back, but dropping it on a police car and then braving a hail of bullets to get it back is 100% on character for him.

Pretty bad situation when the animals are mocking you....


Looks like it went viral...


On a serious note...shock and hysterics can even overcome some of the most seasoned individuals.

Maybe Alec Baldwin could give him a few pointers....... too soon ? Alec could show how self firing gun works and only 1 shot capable .

Good grief. At least it sounds like none of those rounds hit a bystander in what appears to be a residential area. The fellow behind the trigger may want to switch to decaf if he's that jumpy.

Donut Operator released a review of the video today. It's pretty entertaining.

@sobo, pay attention at 4:28!

The things that stands out to me:

1) While the LEO is new (a few months, from spring to fall?), he isn't new to guns? He was in the Army in a conflict (but never saw combat?).

2) He was never diagnosed with PTSD - he never saw combat, so PTSD is not as likely. And yet, he is squirrelly as all get out (pun intended - but it applies). The whole episode is a fail - but at least nobody was hurt (AFAIK). I do kind of feel sorry for the guy - he will probably never live this down.

I helped train a fair number of LEOs back in the '90s. I started having more concerns when different departments started actively recruiting vets. The mentality and skills required for the 2 jobs is vastly different. Most officers up through the '80s could expect to never draw their weapons; now it seems like officers pull their weapons at the slightest provocation.

Scariest part of this whole event for me was the reaction of the sgt. She drew and started shooting without giving herself any time to assess the situation. Military tactic in an ambush may be to lay down heavy suppressing fire, but that doesn't work in a civilian setting. It's disturbing that the police report calls her actions a justified use of force.
