US policeman parked under a tree, heard an acorn drop onto his car, got scared, proceeded to roll on the ground and start emptying his gun onto the residential street.

You forgot the part where he was screaming, "I'm hit! I'm hit!"

Also the part where his partner, who was talking to others across the street, rushed over all like, "what are we shooting at?" and also opened fire on the police car with dude handcuffed in the back, though she didn't dump her whole mag like the first one did.

That to me is worse. People have said the guy who started shooting at ghosts might have had PTSD from being in the military, but why the fuck did his partner just start shooting at random shit too?? They're just as bad!

One of the major rules with guns. Identify your target. Identify things behind your target...

Yeah, when you are looking at a presumably government trained and approved wielder of firearms at all times and in all locations (including protected ones), you don’t expect to see spray and pray. And spray and pray with no identified target at that!

Additional information: he and his partner had arrested a man, who was handcuffed and unarmed in the back of the car. That is whom the policeman thought opened fired at him.
