    Everyone, stop what you are doing and check your local police department for this guy.

    During the course of the investigation into the shooting, deputy Herandez resigned from the force.

    He is out there somewhere, getting scared and shooting at his own car.

        The article said where he was firing, into his cars engine block. It does not mention where his partner, who was in the car, was aiming at.

        I presume, the handcuffed person in the car was traumatized, but physically fine.

          The cop was firing at the back of the car. His partner was interviewing the girlfriend of the suspect when she heard the shout of shots fired. She asked from where and the cop said from the car, she opened fire at the front of the car.

      It’s easy to shit on cops but I hope the guy is okay. It kinda sounded like he resigned after self-realizing how this is not an okay situation. He’s probably been in a handful of fucked up situations to be triggered like that tbh.

      Either that or he’s actually retarded.

          You don’t empty a whole clip like a schizo after hearing one shot lol. I think the protocol would have been to call back up or “I heard shots fired on main Street”

            You’re right, it’s a bat shit insane response, but cops in the U.S. are trained to be afraid and react without thinking on a hair trigger. His reaction is unfortunately way too normalized.
