Multiple mag dumps and I can't tell what they are firing at.
That's the fun part - they don't know either. It's an adventure!
Acorn prolly 🤷♂️
I thought they were shooting at the potted plant.
Gun scare people. Scared people with guns fire more bullets. More gunfire scares more people, causing them to buy guns for protection. Now those additional scared people with guns use them, bringing that same fear they feel to more of their neighbours, who respond by buying guns to protect themselves...
If you really want an armed populace just make it mandatory for all citizens to complete 1 year of military service, with the people retaining their service arms at home. This way everyone is trained the same way and follows the same standards with their weapons. This takes the 'cool' factor out of owning guns, takes the identity politics out of it, and the criminals will now know that they likely cannot gain the advantage in fire power just by getting a high capacity magazine.
It would also calm the cops down, because the year of manditory service will weed out all the crazies that cant handle the responsibility of gun ownership, and since everyone went to the same program you have an automatic national database of who isnt fit for ownership. Give mental health proffessionals the ability to flag on the database when an idividual is having issues so their weapons can be TEMPORARILY removed untill their mental health is restored.
The 2a guys will also lose their main talking point: government is the one giving them the gun now, they would look stupid REEEing about 'gubberment wants muh guns!!'
It seems like the USA will never say no to guns, so why not go full ham instead of just letting every state make up its own rules as it goes along? The current system has some very obvious flaws. Freedom should not be free, it should require responsibiliy, the proof is in the never ending american gun tragedy.
Edit: accidentally tripple posted, still learning the UI... deleted the two duplicates, and fixed some bad grammar
You lost me at mandatory service. No way in hell I’m contributing to the industrial war machine
Fair enough, there are no perfect solutions
Are there no mandatory service in the USA?
No. Men between 18 and 25 have to register with the government, but that's it:
They didn't even finish "saying drop the gun." And judging by the complete lack of return fire I'm going to guess that even if the homeowner was dumb enough to raise their gun at the cops, shots 2-64 were unnecessary and did nothing but place everyone in the next couple apartments in danger.
This whole story was ridiculous—the cops were completely in the wrong. They were responding to a call in one apartment and were told a different apartment had a window broken. They went to check it out, and this was their reaction. The woman they shot at was a friend of the apartment tenant.
The friend was shot 5 times and is lucky to be alive. These cops should never be allowed to touch a gun again.
Disappointing video. I expected a column of Abraham tanks to join the party, driven by killer whales.
That would have been the official police statement if not for the body cams.
Anybody know an article about this? Can't find it and really curious about the backstory
Jesus Christ. Yet again a law abiding citizen is responsible for recognizing the police and responding in the exact right way in a split second.
While the police are allowed to act like terrified wild animals.I take that sentence back after seeing the run up footage linked in this article. This was nothing more than an ambush. They knock on the door and then move off to the side. They then open fire the second they see her. There was zero chance for the victim to even realize it was the police.
This in no way excuses the ludicrous use of force by the police, but... They forgot the keys, so they broke their own window to get in? who does that? It's an apartment, call the super? or a locksmith? Get called to a break-in, see signs of forced entry, see someone coming to the door with a gun... Yeah that'd be intense all right. Doesn't excuse the police actions but dang. bit more understandable
If the thing they were shooting at was ever alive it wouldn't have been the first full mag of bullets unloaded on their body, but after several mags by several cops being dumped on the body, then by the time it's taken to the morgue it'll have more holes than swiss cheese.
Apparently she not only survived, but she was also only hit 5 times out of at least 40 shots. These cops need to be fired because they panic and they suck at shooting if they ever were in real danger.
I think the poor plant caught more rounds than the woman. These cops are terrible at everything about this

Ever notice how it's the policewomen who dump multiple mags into people/things? I wonder why that is?
...cause Mr. Acorn was a woman.
Yeah, that is true, he did it too. I've just noticed in all the other videos I've seen it's been policewomen.
That's why they don't usually team up a policewoman with another policewoman.
The acorn slayer was a man. And he panicked even worse. He got hit on his imagination, then rolled like an idiot before shooting to his car.
