Florida deputy Jesse Hernandez screamed “shots fired,” and frantically fired his gun after an acorn fell onto the roof of his squad car, making him jump.
From other accounts, he had arrested a suspect, handcuffed and searched them, and put them in the back of the squad car, and apparently thought that the suspect–the one they’d searched, cuffed, and locked in the car–was shooting at him. So, in his mind, he was returning fire.
I gotta ask - did he hit the guy in the car? Did he even his his car? Where did the bullets all end up? When you start shooting in public, you’re supposed to be responsible for each on of those pieces of lead.
I just did a 2 gun match over the weekend. Gossip among the competitors was that two of the guys there were cops from the Atlanta suburbs, and that they withdrew after the first stage because it was “too hard”.
Yeah, it was a hard match, but that was the point.
Both officers riddled the cop car with bullets at the front and back of the car. None hit the guy at the back seat of the car who immediately ducked on the floor.

Saw a comment somewhere else that the guy in the police cruiser somehow didn’t get any bullets in him.
Ahh, so this cop is a storm trooper. That tracks.

The guy in the car was not hit, but mentally fucked up, according to a better news article I just found on Reddit a few minutes ago.
Wait did you shoot at his own car? That’s amazing.
