      It’s high time we take control of all these wild oaks out there. Every single one has thousands of acorns any any one of those might have YOUR name on it.

      We need action NOW!

      We need immediate Oak controls laws. And I damn sure don’t want to hear any of that stale old BS “my oak hasn’t ever harmed anyone”…

      Oaks have no place in polite society. End of discussion. Get educated!

      BTW that’s all satire. I love oaks. Actually my first knothole was an oak. I love oaks.

    I didn’t know why I was seeing acorns all over my feed but I think I can hazard a guess after seeing this. I’m guessing an acorn dropped on a cop car and the pig emptied his clip into someone?

      Oh except in I’m pretty sure he and his partner missed every single shot, because I’ve “only” heard the victim talk about emotional trauma.

            No. His partner also opened fire on the unarmed person in handcuffs because he was rolling around in the middle of the street screaming about being shot, so she said to herself “Well, he must have been shot because he’s rolling around in the middle of the street like a jackass even though he should be taking cover.”

              After reading the article, apparently her actions was deemed “reasonable”? What?

              Shooting an unarmed, handcuffed man because you can’t differentiate between a gun shot and an acorn, and have zero directional hearing is “REASONABLE”?

                From what I read, they didn’t shoot at the unarmed suspect but at their own cop car. Stable geniuses. I can understand why the sergeant’s actions were deemed reasonable though, as she was trusting that her partner was in a life and death situation and not hesitating to back him, the truest of idiots, up.

                  They were shooting at their own car because the unarmed, handcuffed man that they thought had just shot one of them was locked in the back seat.

        I wanted to laugh at the idiot cop until I heard the victim’s very real screams thinking someone was dead because she did what is supposed to be the right thing to do by calling the cops :(

      A cop recently mistook an acorn hitting his car for the sound of a gun firing at him from the handcuffed, searched, man inside the car. Officer then proceeded to do a double combat roll, scream “IM HIT”, and unload two magazines into the car with the handcuffed man inside.
