Nope. A cop recently had an acorn drop on his car and panicked, went into full on Max Payne power roll and emptied two clips into his own car. Even had a standoff with backup... with his own vehicle.

And there was a handcuffed man inside the vehicle, as well.

Despite his negligent behaviour, the policeman was allowed to resign and face no further consequence.

lmao, his partner saw him shooting and yelling and started shooting at the car, too

Yep, two different police officers emptied clips into a parked police car with an unarmed, handcuffed man in the back, for no reason. Emptied their guns, firing at literally nothing, without stopping to check who they were shooting at, what might be behind what they are shooting at, and without any regard for the life of the suspect in custody.

Like what if there had been a shooter, and they were just shooting in the wrong direction? What if there were kids nearby?

They don’t care about any of that, silly.

They just need to make sure they harm enough POC for the month. Get there, golden.
