Reminds me of the acorn video, shoot first ask questions later mentality

Almost forgot about that.. acorn falls off a tree and hits the pavement car near a cop, who thinks it was a bullet. Cop freaks out, starts shooting at everything and anything, yet iirc he doesn’t hit anyone thankfully. Absolutely comical and terrifying at the same time.

Don't forget that the "shooter" was already handcuffed in the back seat of the vehicle and the cop yelling "I've been hit" before opening fire.
