I’m ootl, what’s the with the acorn?

It’s a good thing you added “acorn” there!

Arbiter ,

Fortunately he was a horrible shot and didn’t actually hit the unarmed man in handcuffs in his car.

@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

And didn’t he have a partner who came and did similarly too? Neither managed to kill the guy they had already previously verified had no weapons.

Hey, that guy in the car could have been some sort of X-Men mutant that had gun powers. You can never be too sure.

@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

That’s one way to test if he had somehow gained the power to become bulletproof, I suppose. It might have worked better if they could at least aim straight though:-P.

Son_of_dad ,

Hope he’s forever known as officer acorn, just like officer bubbles

NotAtWork ,

In a just world he would be known as “Prisoner 0103151814”

A pig mag dumped into his police cruiser when an acorn fell on its hood cause they thought it was a gunshot. There was someone under arrest in the back of said cruiser.

mosiacmango ,

Then his partner mag dumped into the same cruiser as well when nutbag kept insisting he was hit.

The partner at least asked “where where!?” a few times, but she still just empted a magazine into the same car a handcuffed, unarmed suspect was locked up in.

Luckily both shitbergs couldn’t aim for shit and missed the guy with like 30 rounds.

madcaesar ,

Holy fucking shit… This is worse than I even imagined…

hihellobyeoh ,

In his partners defense, her perspective was he was calling shots fired, shooting at his own car, and on the ground saying he was hit, in her shoes I would of probably shot at the car too.

mosiacmango ,

I agree to a point, but you should still not fire wildly ever, especially in a populated area.

If she could not find a target, she should not have shot the gun. Even suppressing fire requires knowing in general what youre shooting at. In this case, she should have dragged her partner to cover, called in the “attack” and maintained sight lines, looking for the danger. No bullet should have left her gun.

Acorn boy needs to be prosecuted for gross neglect and maybe even attempted manslaughter. I think she needs to be fired for poor judgement.

Uh… the gun has a silencer on it?

While that nut musta been LOUD!

That is extremely nice attention to detail that Pam is wearing a police uniform.:-)

GeneralEmergency ,

An acorn falling onto the roof of a car wouldn’t sound like a gun shot. But I could sound similar to a bullet striking a car.

name_NULL111653 ,

Agreed. While a sniper round with a silencer or stray bullet from a streetfight hitting the hood of the car might sound similar, there’s no way it could have been any firearm from inside the vehicle. A paranoid but well-trained cop getting down behind the engine block and visually scanning the area for danger? Understandable, but a bit silly unless you’re in a dangerous downtown area. But emptying your mag into the car? You can’t have people with firearms that poorly trained and that jumpy… I say if they must have guns (which could be necessary in the case of an actual armed criminal), send them to bootcamp and have the army drill some threat assessment and trigger discipline into them…

Bene7rddso ,

Funny that you mention army bootcamp. The officer is a vet

name_NULL111653 ,

The movies get silencers very wrong… It would be a bit louder than the acorn and sound much different (or about the same volume if the vehicle is really well soundproofed). The officer should have known immediately that it wasn’t from inside the car. If it was a downtown area where stray bullets are an actual threat, I might have gotten down and scanned the area for danger, maybe radioed the possible stray bullet and assessed vehicle damage after a couple minutes. And that’s just common sense, I have no real training whatsoever. But literally any kid who’s gone squirrel hunting knows better trigger discipline than that.

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

Exactly this. Like, nobody is blaming the officer for being scared upon hearing a gun-sounding noise, that’s just common sense that they should be actually, but to empty the mag at… what? Without knowing what the target was? Or did he legit think that it was his car that was the threat?

That said, it’s surely a tough job, especially for the pay and the danger. Which is all the more reason to train them at least up to the level of a kid going squirrel hunting?

Cops doesnt even break the top 20 for the most dangerous jobs in the US. Pizza delivery is more dangerous, and they dont get guns/vests/tanks/training/SWAT/etc. They also sure as fuck dont get the pension or huge OT pay, and abikty to break laws without consequence.

Most cops dont even fire their gun in their career. This guy fired it at a suspect fully in his care, that he had searched, handcuffed and put in a locked cage in the car. He didn’t fire it once, he fired it at him a dozen times, and convinced his partner to do the same. They both shot at a man in their care and custody dozens of times because of a tree nut.

Okay but you are using “facts” and “data” there.:-)

While in their defense, that nut was scawy, and they got their fee-fees huwt.

Ok

JayDee , to memes in Means and ends

Highly recommend folks watch Wendigoon’s summary of the unibomber.

TLDR: unibomber was probably not as based as many attribute him being. Was mostly mentally unwell and seeking some form of recognition.

His manifesto is full of a bunch of problematic racial overtones as well.

Maybe fungus MSG? I googled it and found

“The Mycoses Study Group (MSG) is a group of experts in medical mycology, focusing their work on understanding and treating invasive fungal infections. Members of the MSG are affiliated with leading academic institutions and healthcare organizations around the world.”

Probably not it, but who knows?

Then he died an avoidable death because he refused to wear the HANS device, which was optional at the time, and which likely would’ve saved his life in his fatal crash.

The only thing I could discern was that this man probably did some type of sports, though I’m less than certain about that.

He was a legendary race car driver for NASCAR. Basically the Messi of stock car racing (idk much about football. Or NASCAR for that matter)

Ty for the link. I remember the day he died my dad was pretty torn up by it. Now I have a lot more context.

He was an excellent (arguably one of if not the best) race car driver in the American NASCAR series.

Nothing is sacred.

Torrents are, but that requires commitment (seed, don’t leech only).

Last time I did check Cdromance, don’t have links to download anymore, I like that place because has many roms with patched QoL romhacks. Maybe now you need to have an account.

It doesn’t matter if you are downloading it, what matters is that you’ll play it and/or won’t get the “Definitive Edition” or whatever is called the crap they are changing for this one.

takedowns are automated these days, either through full automation or paying low cost labor in places like India to just do google searches. Rockstar isn’t “doing” anything here, aside from paying someone else to issue the takedowns. and the someone else doesn’t know enough or care enough to apply logic that would cause all the other versions to get taken down too.
