Kodakicy If a falling acorn triggers you to start firing at a handcuffed suspect, that shows he's not in right headspace to accurately assess active situations. Officers need to be very aware and reevaluate situations, acting this irrationally over random noises means he's not fit for the job. What's next a bird poops on him and he starts blasting another suspect?

@Piehlerk It is his fault since you can't overreact like this to something as benign as a falling acorn with deadly force. It shows he's not fit for the job which is probably why he resigned. However, if he genuinely did think it was a gunshot, that's probably how he avoided criminal charges.
