It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

anakin-padme-2 So the officer was charged with needlessly endangering the suspect's life, right?

No but he was humiliated into resigning

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 39 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

the greatest consequence an American police officer can face, being humiliated into resignation and forced to find work as a prison guard, mall cop or PE teacher

"are you hit?" "it felt like it" started-blasting

I laughed out loud when the guys with rifles showed up to help him pick up the acorn

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 104 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fully eight seconds between him shouting SHOTS FIRED and actually returning fire. If he actually was being shot at he'd have died during one of his heavy encumbrance dodge rolls he pulled off. This man is unbelievably pathetic on so many levels.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 51 points 9 months ago

Dude ran I to a more open space and then played down for s while. If he was being shot at he would be mostly bullet.

He actually thought he got hit. Yeesh.

Probably pulled a muscle doing his commando roll.

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 83 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You laugh at him somersaulting along the ground but he needed those iFrames to avoid damage.

[–] tryitout@infosec.pub 44 points 9 months ago

Fat rolling has less iFrames.

Truly remarkable display of cowardice.

Like dear God this is beyond scared of your own shadow. This is unloading a handgun at a car because of an acorn.

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 71 points 9 months ago (3 children)

This video has convinced me that American police needs to be put down like rabid dogs.

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 38 points 9 months ago

yea I think this now as well.
I also thought this 8 years ago but I still do

[Hiding behind a Tesla with disabled veteran plates] I'm good. I feel weird but I'm good.

hahaha

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 78 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I just love how he instantly unloaded the full clip into his own car. Even if there really was a gunshot, just randomly shooting your own car doesn't seem like a good idea.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 60 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess he thought the person in his car was shooting at him? idk, I'm not stupid enough to think like a cop.

[–] very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net 62 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Does that mean he had someone in the backseat of the car? sadness-abysmal

edit: they totally fucking did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVNnxr2SGFg

the people screaming are the person's girlfriend and someone else? holy shit.

The acorn is visible for literally one frame in the youtube video at 13:01. That part is hilarious but holy cow these cops deserve the wall and worse.

When asked about prior military experience, Deputy Hernandez said he attended West Point, and was an infantry officer and an officer in special forces for the army for a total of ten years. Deputy Hernandez said he had two combat rotations to Afghanistan, but noted as an officer, he was not in direct combat.

so he didn't personally do any in combat, but he did order his troops to level several schools with artillery strikes when he heard a soccer ball bounce off a wall.

this is very funny reading

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 37 points 9 months ago

the other cop (who had been on the force much longer!) also firing on the car is hilarious

Has this asshole never been at a firing range? Gunshots are loud, how could he mistake an acorn for them except out of ignorance?

[–] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 55 points 9 months ago (8 children)

Only thing I can imagine is his dumb pig brain is just wildly on edge, absolutely horrified of everything around him. His earballs are amplifying everything like comtacs while In a flight or fight adrenaline dump caused by a normal traffic stop.

Just insane cowardice.

He didn't think it was a gunshot, he thought it was an incoming bullet plinking off the vehicle from a silenced gun or long range rifle lmao.

He rolled on the ground, unloaded a full clip into his own police car where there was a HANDCUFFED SUSPECT and yelled things like “shots fired” and “I’m hit”

Like children playing pretend. Except you know, with deadly weapons and an immunity from consequences.

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 60 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I’m beginning to suspect telling every cop they’re an expert in gun kata and must defend the flock from the wolves when they respond to a disorderly conduct call is not working
