    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.

              "despite being cuffed, it was Jackson that the officer thought was shooting at him. "

              Direct quote.

              You have the reading comprehension of a first grader

                Lol

                Try reading that again, it doesn’t state that he was shooting at the man. Seems you enjoy projecting your insecurities a little too much.

                If I’m a first grader (lol), you’re straight up retarded.

                  I’m sorry, but you were never one for those annoying word problems in math either, right?
