Florida Cop Empties His Gun, Runs For Cover After Acorn Falls On Car

Florida deputy Jesse Hernandez screamed “shots fired,” and frantically fired his gun after an acorn fell onto the roof of his squad car, making him jump.

(In body cam footage shared across social media, he was seen jumping to the ground and shouted “shots fired” after the acorn strikes the roof of his car. He then turned and emptied every bullet from his gun, each aimed squarely at his squad car.)

The British Electorate should be permitted to select them collectively by shortlist.

Let them be the very worst eighty, from Thug Anderthal downwards.

All the airhead Toffs, sex-pests, tractor-pornos, bribe-taking second-jobbers, corporate 'consultants', GB News presenters, climate-deniers, deportation freaks, global-Britain empire-delusionist, Fakelord, SmugKnight, statue-worshipping flagshaggers

So we don't forget, for next time.
