Title: The Assault Acorn Video
Post by: alfsauve on February 20, 2024, 12:23:37 PM

There are hundreds of memes now depicting various law officers reacting to acorns.  Amusing but at very sad.

I just watched the NBC video of both body cams. Forget the first officer spaying his car down with bullets. Watch his partner's video. She was taking a statement from the original victim, is now confronted with life-or-death situation.  (Shots fired. I'm hit. Yelled by her partner.)  What does the officer do with the paper work she's holding?   Yep.  Continues to grip it tightly while taking cover and emptying her gun.   

The power of adrenaline.

Actual acorns, not ACORN, an acronym or slang  word. I didn't know what you were talking about. This is crazy.

Sad indeed....and the one with the paperwork was also dangerously close to having officer #1 in the line of fire, considering the adrenaline-fueled panic firing, and did not move laterally to increase the angle either.

I didn't watch it yet but this should be good.

So many memes. So little storage

So, did national newspapers run headlines like, Something Squirrelly Happening In Florida? Or, COP GOES NUTS?
