    A cop had someone handcuffed in the backseat, an acorn landed on the car, the cop panicked thought he’d been shot and emptied his gun at his car, somehow not killing the person handcuffed in back.

      His partner also dumped a clip into the vehicle. The officer that got spooked by the acorn literally did not realize he had not been shot until he go to the hospital…

        Tbh it was kinda fascinating to see how strong the tricks your mind can play on you can be. The guy was thoroughly convinced he’d been shot. He was all “my legs are numb” and shit. His brain told him he’d been hit by a bullet, and his body believed it without the force or the sound of a gunshot.

      It’s better, not only did his partner also open fire neither of them even hit the guy, who was huddling in place, trying not to get executed by clowns.
