Was this about the cop who went full schizo, did two barrel rolls and magdumped the back of his police car?
Who would win?

No. This is about the new movie by M. Night Shamalan - “Deez Nuts” it’s about killer nuts trying to takeover a small Midwestern town. Apparently his kid developed but allergies and it was his inspiration to produce this film.
The thing about that cop and the acorn is crazy tho yo.
OpenStars@startrek.website 8 months ago
It took me way too long to figure out what you meant. I’m like… butt allergies, what!? :-P
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Yup.
Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And the second cop pops in no idea why there’s shooting or from where, so she also starts emptying her mag into whatever she sees
DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 8 months ago
To be fair to her, his actions were so bizarre she said she assumed he must have been hit because he was rolling around in the middle of the street while shouting “I’ve been hit.”

That would only get more American if they started shooting “USA” while shooting.

Some context regarding this meme. The police officer is a war veteran, who probably has massive PTSD and reacted accordingly.
Now why the hell would the police service hire a guy who is clearly unfit for service is a major American moment.
hibsen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Do you have any evidence of the “war veteran” part of this, or literally anything to indicate that he has PTSD besides your own assertion that he “probably” has it? The only thing I can find is that he was in Afghanistan but never saw any combat. Are there things in Afghanistan that could cause PTSD? Sure. Is there any evidence that he has PTSD? Not that I’ve seen.
You know who probably does have massive PTSD? The cuffed guy in the back that was almost executed by two cops because one of them was so effing stupid that he thought he’d been shot by an acorn. He did not “react accordingly.” He reacted like a trigger-happy moron. The only useful part of this is that he’s resigned.
Neon@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The talibans Asymetrical warfare and the resulting Paranoya itself can give PTSD
If you spend years always expecting an ambush, always being told to expect an ambush, you will see an ambush everywhere. Even if you never were actually ambushed.
CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
And my question is, why should I give respect to someone who is violating rights of individuals domesticly as a police officer, and has likley committed war crimes and rights violations abrod, or atleast aided and abeded said war crimes. I only see this as more meme worthy. I understand PTSD is no joke, but at some point, the position of power and betrayal of your class removes the sympathy I would otherwise have for you
r_se_random@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Sorry if my message didn’t convey this.
I didn’t ask for sympathy for anyone on this. It’s more towards the process is absolutely fucking broken. It was obvious that something like that can happen to any person with more than 2 brain cells. And yet, the decisions we were made to put a person in a situation where he was bound to fail.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 months ago
PTSD is not their fault, but it is their responsibility to deal with and they should not be employed in a position where that condition could engager the general public. Like it did. If I’m allergic to peanuts, I shouldn’t be hired in a place that processes them. And even in that example, I’m only putting myself at risk.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Speculation, but having seen similarly hypervigilent and jumpy people get hired locally, they were hired for office duty, promote to field work and that’s where they fucked up. But it’s just three dudes I’ve seen that happen to, I wouldn’t draw industry wide conclusions from that.

I’ve been hit by, I’ve been struck by, a smooth … acorn
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
By the way…this actually happened. A cop lost his shit and screamed “SHOTS FIRED!” and an acorn fell near him. He started shooting all over the place in a suberb which caused another cop nearby to also start shooting at nothing.
Why do we train our cops to be so terrified of everything?
saruwatarikooji@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The ones that freak out over an acorn are cheaper and easier to brainwash.
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Yeah, the kind of people that believed all of that bullshit about WMDs and Iraq, or the kind of people that thought “reefer madness” was real.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think it might be hiring. I’ve got a relative who was too paranoid and antsy for the post office, but he’s fit right in as a sheriff’s deputy. I’m glad he found a place to belong.
Dasus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Does the sheriff’s office drop off recruiting pamphlets in the post office?
Like “Going postal? Apply to become a police officer today!”

postal workers are regularly in way more danger than any cop ever is.

EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
by the way, cops need guns. They need to be trained better, but they still need guns.
Not assault rifles of grenade launchers full of tear gas, but just regular pistols
Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Never forget that a second officer opened fire due to the first dumbass shooting at an acorn.
Agent641@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And despite targeting a handcuffed person confined in the back seat of a car, they missed every shot.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is this a fucking joke to you?
Acorns are the only thing standing between us and the criminal element.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
It’s not the acorns that are the problem, dude. It’s the fucking squirrels. They’ve been stashing them away… waiting for the right time.
You think the acorn that hit the cop just fell from a tree? Don’t be naive! There a was a squirrel behind the grassy knoll that launched it at the cop.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Squirrels are the criminal element. I know because I have both squirrels and oak trees in my back yard. Thankfully, the acorns have a K-9 unit that keeps the squirrels in check.

- man hears a noise.
- he’s hit (only in his imagination).
- rolls like movie characters.
- shoots to his own car.
- handcuffed victim ends unhurt.
Yes. Trained.
vsis@feddit.cl 8 months ago
LOL I saw the video again. Both cops shoot to nothing lol. They are not even aiming.
Fortunately for the victim, they suck at trying to shoot a still target. Why gringos allow that kind of people to be police is beyond me.
The only thing that can justify the woman police, is that she only sees her mate rolling like madman and shooting to the car. It’s fair to assume that there’s a threat, if her mate is mentally stable and trained. Which apparently is no a true premise.
Crikeste@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Trained to murder innocent people, apparently. He’s lucky he didn’t. Not like he’d face consequences if he did anyways.
unreasonabro@lemmy.world 8 months ago
sounds like they’re trained to lie that they’ve been shot as an excuse to fire indiscriminately, actually…

Trained, in this context is such a strong word.
archchan@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
It’s hilarious that even amateurs with practically no experience are more responsible with firearms than US cops.
Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Acorns take between 5 and 24 months to mature.
Police training is around 21 weeks (5.25 months)
Coincidence? 🤔

Yeah, but that doesn’t have anything to do with this thread… Your reply is the same as if someone posted a joke about obesity in the US and you commented about the obesity percentage in Finland. See how that makes absolutely no sense and is really weird? It’s even more weird that you’ve somehow not understood how weird it is.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 months ago
I get what you’re saying, but they are trained. Trained to be bullies, to never report another officer no matter the horrible things they do, and that there’s no consequences for their illegal actions.
Good cops get harassed, bullied, and even assaulted until they quit, bad cops are emboldened and become worse…
thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 8 months ago
They are trained wrong, as a joke
noxy@yiffit.net 8 months ago
Yes. The fuck. They are
It’s the training specifically that’s a huge part of the problem.
