    What did he actually shoot at though? He had no verified target. Did he just empty his clip wildly into thin air? What was he pointing his gun at?

    Edit: holy shit, he shot at his own cop car with a suspect in the back

      He didn’t shoot at the cop car, this article is VERY back the blue, bootlicking fuckery.

      Him and his partner unloaded on the man they just arrested in the back of the car because they thought he shot at them. Luckily he wasn’t killed.

        “He then turned and emptied every bullet from his gun, each aimed squarely at his squad car.”

        Did you read the article?

          ‘At his car’ is not entirely accurate. Cars can’t fire guns, the cops target was the human inside the car whom he thought shot him.

          It’s kinda like saying ‘several people died’ instead of saying ‘the bomb killed 15 children’. Both are technically accurate but provide different context.
