THE INTERNET IS OBSESSED WITH VIDEO OF A COP SHOOTING UP HIS POLICE CAR WITH A SUSPECT INSIDE AFTER HEARING AN ACORN HIT THE GROUND
The footage, taken in November from the bodycam of Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jesse Hernandez, reveals how a simple call regarding an individual allegedly disrupting the peace by honking their horn quickly unraveled into a shooting.
An investigation into the incident found that Hernandez mistook the sound of an acorn falling on his vehicle for a gunshot, resulting in him shouting “shots fired!” and “I’m hit” while unloading his weapon at an unarmed and handcuffed individual sitting inside.
The video has left viewers online shocked, leading to an influx of negative reactions across social media.“How this guy was not charged is beyond me,” one user on YouTube said. “This is absolutely outrageous.”
