Fuckin cops are an abstract sick joke played on society
"Protect & Serve...Corporate Assets & the Elites"
Petrichor ᚄᚔᚅᚐᚁᚆᚃᚒᚔᚂ@Hex Jesus Christ! If I'm counting right, one officer fired 15 times and the other 14… thank goodness the Garda Síochána are in general not armed and there are *big* inquiries if shots are ever fired! #OKCorral #DeadlyAcorns #AcornCop
hexI also love that #AcornCop just happens to exist at the intersection of three of my favorite strange interests.
Like, public records revealing that a cop was incompetent and it somehow also involved an acorn. What are the odds? I have an #acorn tattoo. Now I need to get an ACAB next to it or something.
The "It Could Happen Here" episode about the "acorn involved shooting" was pretty good. The memes have been great. I'm glad everyone around the world got together to make fun of cops.
The thing that's really great about the public records part is that it actually shows more about the mentality of police than anything else. This wasn't one cop who couldn't hack it. His partner chose him specifically because she trusted him, and continued to back him *after she found out it was an acorn*.
This isn't one bad cop. This was a cop acting *exactly as trained*. This was *trained in to this officer.* Everything here actually makes perfect sense when you understand the situation and context. It's that police culture and way cops are trained leads directly to this behavior. It's just another version of the fentanyl cop fainting thing. Acorn cop wasn't one absurd cop, it was a reflection on the absurdity of the whole institution.
I know everyone is done with it, but I just want to take a couple more minutes to just be with this moment. I hope we can have more instances of humourous insight like this where we get to laugh at cops overreacting because no one dies as a result.
I just want to take a minute to remind everyone that we know about #AcornCop because Florida has the strongest public records laws in the US. There are other acorn cops elsewhere in the country.
Acorn cop is the funny version of the same story that happens all over the US every day and often ends up with people dead... But those records are more often than not hidden.
Public records laws allow us to expose the absurdity of law enforcement. Florida is not uniquely incompetent (I mean, it is, but like, in different ways) it's just more transparent.
