  1. Even if the guy HAD discharged a weapon. NO EXCUSE to wildly unload a clip like that in what looks like a residential neighborhood. They can't even see what they're shooting at.

  2. I hate these officers, especially the female officer who added to the situation and probably took her partner's word for it, instead of hearing any such gunshot for herself. Such tribal behavior among those who think they are above God to enforce life and death and to then think to appease another citizen with a sallow apology, which to me words that hold them in contempt toward their random person of interest. I know aggressive dogs love barking at strangers because of the adrenaline game they get out of what their target is thinking, then lose interest and walk away if they don't get any sense of fighting action from it.

  3. Its madness how many bullets he put into that patrol car, without even confirming anything. Im wondering why his legs went numb, mini heart attack?

  4. Fully searched , nobody that fired a gun that day is innocent. Said from the Sargeant get in the house, get in the house, the public was not even safe. Thank God the detained man is okay, as well as the public.

  5. If this isn't F'd up enough their not showing you the rest of the video.

    When all the backup arrived they made the guy sit up in the car so they could see his silhouette, they shot out the rest of the car windows around him with him sitting there, then made him show his hands which were handcuffed behind his back. The guy sat in jail for a couple hours then was released with no charges.

  6. So they just searched him, had him handcuffed and in the back of police cruiser. Enter the acorn. And in a matter of seconds this man goes from unarmed, detained, and secured to armed, barricaded, and deadly without even knowing it. Do not watch jump scare movies with this former policeman.

  7. No, they failed all the way through, including the female officer. The first officer should be in prison for tempted, murder, and the female officer should be in prison for a aiding and abetting
