Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cop resigns after mistaking falling acorn for gunshot, firing at unarmed suspect cuffed

Kid just made 10 million bucks.

this is more detailed analysis

The best part of all this is that a trained LEO with a modern handgun with an optic magdumped on a stationary guy who was handcuffed, and the guy was totally unharmed.

Guess he resigned out of embarrassment! Idiot!

Damn, Buzz was a Cop?

Complete loser. Lucky perp.

Damn, the Henny Penny syndrome... The sky's falling!

I saw TJ Hooker roll and shoot like that back in the 1980's.

I've been carrying for 44 years, and have heard plenty of acorns drop, yet never mag dumped anyone upon hearing it.

Well, they ain't pulling from the top of the gene pool.


The sad part is this guy will just go be a bad cop somewhere else. As long as good cops and unions tolerate bad cops, it will never end. It's like a traveling circus.

Musy have been one hell of an acorn.

Just remember the next time you get a bad haircut, the barber had longer training than those cops.

So strange why so many young black men don’t trust the police.

What a nut!

The comments are hilarious.

"For those wondering whether the cop had PTSD, he indeed did fight in the great squirrel war of 2003."

OH my....... I'M HIT 🙄🙄🙄

During the investigation, Hernandez was initially adamant that shots had been fired. He said that he did not have prior law enforcement experience but that he trained at West Point and served as an infantry and special forces officer for a decade, which included two rotations in Afghanistan. He said that he never faced combat because he was an officer. Eventually, investigators showed him frame-by-frame footage of an acorn hitting the car. “Acorn?” Hernandez asked. “Acorn,” the investigator responded.

The answer here is to increase training on acorn response.
