Charge him with attempted murder and open firing in public areas. Nothing of what he did was reasonable.
Not sure how to train officers to prevent this sort of thing...
There are ‘use of deadly force’ guidelines, that have eroded rather drastically over the years.
These days, just getting scared is enough for some cops.
If he wouldn’t have had Pepsi, he may have been more calm and collected.
Merica's finest wearing the badge!
And people wonder why cops aren't respected?

You know that if he keeps his job, he will be getting acorn baskets for every holiday for the rest of is career. Until he complains to HR that he is being bullied at work and gets someone else fired for creating a hostile work environment.
I've been telling you this is what is available and applying for LE jobs. Be scared, be very scared.
It just takes one bad squirrel dropping an acorn on a car to ruin it for all squirrels.
I just love how he empties the whole clip into his own squad car without a single shot being fired at him. I think i found video of him bowling.
This. I get that it is a stressful and dangerous job. But it seems 80% of these shootings are by a person who is not emotionally equipped to deal with a potentially dangerous situation.
Training can’t fix that.
Yikes. In your opinion what steps should be taken to get more emotionally stable candidates?
I don’t. It’s because people see rare incidents as commonplace, and also crave simple answers to complex questions.
Just another day of real life happenings that look like parody stories from the Onion.
Officer was lucky it wasn’t a semiautomatic acorn.
Other low hanging fruit. Only way to stop a bad guy with an acorn is a good guy with an acorn.

Body cams were instituted to assist law enforcement against false claims of bad policing.
Seems body cams have worked against law enforcement more often than not, showing incompetence and over zealous, unqualified Barney's.
BTW...the lawsuit against Nathan from Newton for false arrest was allowed to go forward by the court this week.
Good use of force. Could have been a fully suppressed coconut.
Body cams are there to capture reality. Helps will police reports being accurate and can illustrate what police see and/or have to deal with. However, it also shows incompetence and errors. Once police accept this and embrace it to improve how they work and remove those who should be there we will see problems. Other officers, departments and unions still often try to lie, hide or defend poor actions. By the way, the public who interact poorly with police need to be better too, but they are often drunk, high, crazy, upset, etc... and will have many charges added when they do step out of line.
To be fair, this is only the tiny fraction of the interactions between the public and the police that we see on media.
EXACTLY. People were always led to believe rogue, unqualified cops were an extreme minority.
Don't think that's the case.
The article said that even after the footage had been reviewed, that the officer denied their version and refused to watch his own body cam video. Without that footage, he may have perpetuated his lie and gotten away with his reckless behavior.
This incident happened last November, and he resigned after a month long investigation.

He did two tours in Afghanistan and never saw combat.
"Hernandez was an active deputy in the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office between January 2022 and the incident, which occurred on Nov. 12, 2023. Prior to that, he’d served two tours in Afghanistan but never saw combat."

I know, right!? Maybe even a second pepsi. Caffeine and sugar will do that.
Florida police open fire on unarmed suspect after confusing bouncing acorn for gunshot
Holy shit. Mr Hernandez, who served two tours of Afghanistan as an officer but did not see direct combat, yelled “shots fired” repeatedly while discharging a volley of bullets at the vehicle. When his colleague, Sergeant Beth Roberts, shouted to check if he was safe, Mr Hernandez groaned as he...

It would have been funny if it wasn't so serious, but the officer was actually dragging around and talking as if he had been hit and injured by a bullet. I didn't carry on like that after I ruptured my achilles tendon.
