Was it acorns? Because when this happens in the Midwest its an unknown acorn flinging perp usually.
Thank God this genius went home safe.
Years ago I was sport fucking a lady cop. She was entertaining to fuck, she liked giving road head and got wetter the more likely it was that we got stopped. Then one day she was involved in a shoot out.
She shot a house, her cars hood several times and reloaded. Then she shot the front fender a nearby tree and some yard. The "perp" was a despondent mid 50s white guy having his 798th DV with his drunken cunt wife. She had called it in and said he was armed. He was sitting on the porch, holding a gun by his side and had intended to shoot himself so he could get some peace and quiet from his cunt wife.
#2 genius cop arrives, guy still sitting on porch, gun still at side has not said a word or listened to a command. #2 goes around house and shoots guy in back with shotgun from 5 yards without announcing himself. He was the hero nagantguy is always looking for. Perp never moved or made any aggressive moves.
The guys wife had told 911 her husband was Rambo and John Wick so she was freaking out when she arrived and lost her shit. Guy never raised gun or fired a shot, she missed about two dozen times. I offered to take her shooting a lot more. She asked so I told her she shouldn't have freaked out at the sight of a gun, 70% of America has a gun. Recommended maybe she should have started with talking to the guy? Did not go well.
No more road head, no more fucking 5 mins after arriving at her place. She didn't want to go shooting for damn sure. She sucked with a firearm and had no intention of getting better. She didn't think the rest of us should own guns. Somehow my military service made my shooting team stuff okay.
Her beliefs on firearms ownership, her shitty skill level and training were par for the course for most cops.
