    It’s easy to shit on cops but I hope the guy is okay. It kinda sounded like he resigned after self-realizing how this is not an okay situation. He’s probably been in a handful of fucked up situations to be triggered like that tbh.

    Either that or he’s actually retarded.

        You don’t empty a whole clip like a schizo after hearing one shot lol. I think the protocol would have been to call back up or “I heard shots fired on main Street”

          You’re right, it’s a bat shit insane response, but cops in the U.S. are trained to be afraid and react without thinking on a hair trigger. His reaction is unfortunately way too normalized.

      I do hope he gets the treatment he needs. It is not normal behavior.

      I also don’t want him with a gun near a school, mall, or any other place with lots of bystanders. Not until he has a good record of not overreacting.
