I was thinking "oh that's funny I should try that with my gf" and then I remembered that I'm white and she's black so I don't think I'm going to do that

If she has a cursed sense of humor she might still get a kick out of it lol

Probably saw an acorn or a small friendly dog ๐Ÿคท

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 38 minutes ago

**heard an acorn.

They're much more scary sounding than they look.

Damm that cop was scared for his life sending thoughts and prayers to him.

There are 8 POWs but 9 ๐Ÿ’ฅ

[โ€“] [email protected] 107 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

The first ๐Ÿ’ฅ was an acorn hitting the car.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 minutes ago

I 100% heard an acorn hit a car that other day and my first thought was that it was a gun shot. I'm not being sarcastic. I laughed to myself afterwards

I just want to say that I understand the reference for this and for anyone wondering there was a video of a cop who thought an acorn falling on a car roof was a gunshot and he immediately empties an entire magazine into a car while wildly combat rolling like a terrified toddler.

The body cam footage would be hilarious if it wasnโ€™t so fucking terrifying.

Oh and โ€œthe carโ€ was a squad car after detaining an individual. Both officers dump their mag, but, yeah, acorn cop started it. Guy won a ton of money, rightfully. Lucky he didnโ€™t die.

And yelling "I'm hit! I'm hit!" at his partner, who then also shot at the vehicle.

๐Ÿ’ฅ is the actual gunshot, the POW is just the cop loudly saying POW every time he shoots but he forgot the last one

[โ€“] [email protected] 28 points 22 hours ago

The last one was the gun exploding.

Clearly this is an action movie gun, where clip size is inconsistent.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I'm going to be the annoying pedantic person, but most guns cops carry have magazines and no clip. I say most to be safe, but it's probably all, except maybe a few sheriffs with revolvers or something.

There's nothing wrong with saying clip in this context. The only reason to object is if you're being annoying and pedantic and you've forgotten that there can be more than one term for the same thing.

Nobody is confused by saying "clip", nobody thinks you're charging a glock mag with a clip from the open ejection port. There's like one gun in history that uses both clips and detachable magazines, so if we're talking about that specific gun and the difference is operative to the point, then you can complain.

This is similar to people insisting on "firearm" over "gun", or "suppressor" over "silencer", or "round" over "bullet". Some of them might be more technically rigorous terms but unless you're discussing the finer points of gunsmithing or ballistics you usually don't need to care.

Also, remember the golden rule of pedantry: if you understood well enough to correct them, you don't have to correct them.

the only good cop is one carrying a fucking m1 garand

ping

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

that last ๐Ÿ’ฅ was a different kind of weapon discharge ;)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

reloading! don't know why the old cartridge exploded

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Probably just a misfire...

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Excuse me seriously please and thank you?

That's just realism, the gases didn't reignite this time
