        Critical detail: he thought the guy he searched, arrested, handcuffed, and put in the back of his car somehow Houdini’d his way out of restraints, pulled a gun out from… somewhere… and fired a single shot at him, and so immediately decided dumping his mag at the arrested dude in his cruiser (pointedly, not hitting anything except his own police cruiser) was a good call.

          Also his partner was like 15 degrees off from being straight up down line of sights.

          … and they both shot. Towards each other. In a neighborhood.

          If there was ever an Idiocracy style example of how farcicle police have become…

            And they didn’t even hit the guy they believed to be shooting at them. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that he was not injured for nothing. But with all that blasting, they didn’t even hit their target.

              They usually don’t. It’s so often, “cop mag dumped. perp hit three times.” Wouldn’t be surprised if teen gang bangers had a higher hit % with drive-bys.

                Half the time when they DO manage to hit something, it’s a completely innocent person. And 99.993% of the time they won’t have to pay a cent toward repairing the shit they broke while firing indiscriminately into a crowd.

              I was getting tired of these memes because I thought they were about the squirrel from Ice Age, but now that I know the actual context, I think we should keep this going

          You forgot the double combat roll he initiated immediately upon hearing said gun…er… acorn shot.

        Some pig in Florida emptied his gun into a neighborhood…

        No, its’ better than that. He emptied it into his own squad car. And in a real tribute to his training, he never even hit the handcuffed suspect he had inside the squad car.

        “I’m hit! I’m hit!”

    Just when I think we’ve exhausted every good variation of this acorn meme, another one shows up on my feed and makes me chuckle
