There is russian version with paper cup from 2019.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What happened that time?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

During protests in Moscow one man threw paper cup in general direction of police. Paper cup hit policeman in full gear in helmet. Later police raided his home. There are even memes about paper cup.

Why the fuck would a cop do this??

Oh, Florida. That checks out.

I think some of y'all have never had a nut or anything drop on top of your car before, but it absolutely can sound alarming enough to, in the context of a high stress situation, be interpreted by your brain as a potential shot in the same way a busted engine can.

To be clear, I think this is far more likely than most people are willing to understand, and this gets lost in the 'all cops bad' narrative.

Let's say you're absolutely 100% correct. Does that mean that claiming that you've been hit, diving onto the ground, and unloading a full clip at a handcuffed individual inside your own vehicle is the appropriate immediate response?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

I was shot at once, and in the moment, you're not sure that you haven't been shot. Sometimes you can be in shock and not know because of adrenaline, it's a real thing. It's hard to explain how things happen in the moment.

I was once on a second story and watched the trees jump into the air, only understanding after a few seconds that what happened was the floor collapsed and I fell to the ground. Life doesn't afford the ability to process things well when they happen quickly.

That's nuts.

Pam would be a cop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No she wouldn't. She doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. Too timid.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Exactly why she craves power and gets off on assaulting innocent black people when on the job. Don't shoot the messenger!

nuts?

cop almost killed a man because an acorn fell on the patrol car, just to make sure you're up to date on the state of the US.

The only good thing to come out of this is that the cop quit. I hope he’s billed for the damage to the car anyway.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

nah, why charge the guy clearly at fault, when you can just pass the bill on to the taxpayers!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago

Guarantee he'll be back on the force in another town by next year.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

That’s the funny part, he missed his car!

Edit: Apparently he did hit the car.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I heard he missed the person, but he missed the WHOLE ASS CAR?

Edit: watched the video, he definitely hit the car

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Oh damn guess people told me some bogus info. Glad he missed the person at least!
