    US policeman parked under a tree, heard an acorn drop onto his car, got scared, proceeded to roll on the ground and start emptying his gun onto the residential street.

        Also the part where his partner, who was talking to others across the street, rushed over all like, “what are we shooting at?” and also opened fire on the police car with dude handcuffed in the back, though she didn’t dump her whole mag like the first one did.

          That to me is worse. People have said the guy who started shooting at ghosts might have had PTSD from being in the military, but why the fuck did his partner just start shooting at random shit too?? They’re just as bad!

      Additional information: he and his partner had arrested a man, who was handcuffed and unarmed in the back of the car. That is whom the policeman thought opened fired at him.
