I think the squirrel won. He at least managed to hit officer with an acorn bounced off the vehicles roof.

There are going to be TShirts made with that on it, and money to be made.

That moron should never be trusted with a firearm. He is as dangerous as the clowns that opened fire on the firehall.

I can see how hearing that sound would make the officer react. But where was the target? There were no busted windows on the vehicle that the perp shot through. Did he think he opened the door, fired one round, then shut the door? It could have been a shooting from behind a tree 20 feet away. He just picked the patrol car and unloaded. The car thief is lucky he doesn't look like Swiss cheese.

I get that they put their lives in danger every day. I greatly respect that. They are in a potentially dangerous situation with every traffic stop etc... but they also need to keep cool.

This got out of hand way too fast. The officer actually believed that he had been shot.

I wonder if he's ever done a desk pop?

There are a lot of officers who are far to spooked to do that job and would be better suited to another vocation.

This is Florida, where a permit is not required to carry a concealed firearm and crime is rampant, so you can guess that most cars have a gun in it somewhere. Fear sells guns, and fearful people buy them, when confronted these people can act in an irrational way, even if they had no intention of doing so, accidents happen. Don't envy anyone that has to deal with that situation every work day.

In this case the officer shot his own vehicle, the only occupant was a suspect that he had previously searched, and placed in the vehicle. And given that the person was a suspect, and was left in the vehicle alone, he was probably also handcuffed.

For a fella that likes facts you sure are speculating
