i dont get it can someone pls explain
Do yourself a favor and watch this video. Literally the funniest and most horrifying thing you’ll watch today.
Holy fucking shit, I hadn't actually seen the video until now. I'd put a bullet in my brain if I had to live with that embarrassment. At least Taylor Swift is richer than God and she can just pay someone else to feel bad about flying everywhere.
Jeez so fked up...
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
https://m.piped.video/watch?v=NKmnJgXyZpU
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I still can't believe that there are not just a few, but many cops that such bad trigger discipline and common sense. This guy shouldn't be allowed near any guns, let alone as a police officer.
Acorn falls on car. 'Shots fired! I'm hit!' Shots were fired. By him. At car. Man was in back seat. He not police now.
I thought for a second there were consequences for his actions, but no there weren't. He resigned and hasn't been charged yet.
And for the unaware, he likely resigned so he couldn’t be forced to aid in his own prosecution. Basically, a police department can force an officer to testify against themselves as long as they want to remain a cop. The department basically goes “we’re making your testimony a condition of your ongoing employment. So testify or be fired.” As long as he remains a cop, he doesn’t have a 5th amendment right to remain silent.
By quitting, he’s able to clam up and not aid in any investigation. And since he was given the option to resign instead of being fired, he can simply wait for it to blow over then get the same job in the next city over.
The fact that there's an investigation to be done is why I fucking hate cops. What investigation? He was literally caught on his own camera trying to murder an innocent person. An acorn hit the car? Fuck kind of excuse is that? I would get the death penalty if I killed someone with that pitiful excuse. People who are given a position of authority over others should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. I'll never trust a cop for as long as I live because of this shit.
And this… this sentiment.. ongoing and supported by their own actions as it is, is how they fall.
We have no respect for them and the institutions they uphold. They are gangs. We are an occupied country.
We should give them as much respect as they give us. None. They deserve nothing but contempt and misfortune.

That's why there's an "investigation." Because The SCOTUS was lied to, unintentionally by anyone alive at the time, in 1982 during Harlow V Fitzgerald.
But why male models?
Are you serious? I just told you that!
Well I know what movie I'm rewatching this week
He very likely mistaked (again...) one of the ejected casings hitting him for getting hit
Centuries from now, some historian is going to dig up a dusty ass old hard drive, and find this image on it. There will be experts in internet meme history that they will take this meme to, who will be able to identify the exact week that it was posted based on the archaeological record of acorn cop and Taylor Swift jet memes
Hopefully they find our comments too.
‘Sup future people! Btw all that other shit in the news is really happening! It isn’t some War of the Worlds confusion or running joke or something like that.
You really think the future is gonna be less crazy than it is now? I think the future is gonna be fucking insane. Just wait and see what AI does

Not sure I get this one
Recently an acorn fell on a cop car, the cop thought it was gunfire, empied his magazine over it, and then did a fucking barrel roll.
did it end the cop's career though?
No criminal charges for him or his partner, who started blasting too. The first one resigned after the sheriff’s internal affairs investigation told him that he did an oopsie.
so no real consequences as expected
Aside from the end of his career
I don't call that a real consequence to opening fire on an acorn on a public street.
he didn't get fired, he resigned, he probably could restart whenever he wants to
Who/what was he firing his gun at? Who did he think was the enemy?
They shot at their cop car. His partner opened fire too. Also there was someone in the backseat of the car too.
But they didn't shoot at his cop car. It was an acorn that fell on his cop car.
The cops shot at the cops' car
There was a handcuffed man in the back of his cruiser that they thought shot (and hit) the officer
Inhale vegetables explained half of it. The other half are two memes about Taylor Swift. One is the right-wing conspiracy that she's secretly a far left agent (and thus might have an interest in things like "ACAB" and getting cops fired). The other is criticism of her for her environmental impact by virtue of how much she flies everywhere in a private jet (you may have seen a bunch of other memes on your Lemmy front page entitled "TayTay on her way to…” showing her private jet).
The other bit of this is that Taylor Swift sent a C&D letter to Jack Sweeney who is the guy who has been publishing flight paths of various celebrities. Sweeney obtains this data publicly because since 2020 all aircraft (with few exceptions) are required to use ADS-B transponders. The ADS-B system has numerous safety benefits compared to previous systems, but a side effect is that every aircraft now constantly broadcasts its position, velocity, and altitude information, and anybody who wants to can build a ground station capable of receiving this information.
Generally, threatening legal action against somebody who isn't doing anything wrong or illegal is considered a dick move, and puts Taylor Swift in the same category as Elon Musk (who has also previously threatened legal action against Jack Sweeney). So we are proceeding to make fun of her without remorse, as it was her decision in the first place to fly privately, which is very bad for the environment.
Instead of threatening to sue the guy who's breaking no laws and publishing information that is already public, she could just consider another mode of transit if privacy is that important to her. But in the meantime we will enjoy the memes
It's not just about making fun of her. You're leaving out a very important part.
It's also about making fun of the conspiracy nut jobs that think the Superbowl was rigged and that Swift was behind the whole thing, which is the premise behind her plane being the one that dropped the acorn
Every motorized form of transportation requires publicly-visible identifying information on the vehicle.
If she were traveling by car, anyone who had cameras watching roads could report everywhere she went.
I hope you can see how that would be the same process of collecting and then publishing public information, and how it might still be worthy of a lawsuit given how a record of everywhere someone’s car has driven to is creepy.
This take is hot off the press and I haven't really thought it through, and you can call me an extremist if you want, but billionaires don't deserve privacy
