Holy crap! Immediately reminded me of the standoff in Naked Gun where Frank Drebin pats the swat guy on the back and everybody starts firing
So Barney Fife gets axed for imagining the squirrels have gats, and his partner who’s too stupid to not engage in contagious fire, shooting at, what exactly, gets a pass? Both of them should get new jobs cleaning bedpans.

Except, he can Since he resigned, he will have a clean record He can just go to another county and be back patrolling your town
Years ago a cop in our town answered an alarm call at a house along with two other cops. He walked up on the front porch and was standing there when the homeowner suddenly opened the door upon which the cop put a bullet in his chest. He resigned and was promptly hired by another department two towns away.
There’s another where cops shot an unarmed guy through his picture window, as he was headed to the front door to answer.
Didn't see mentioned in the article that he thought he was hit. Must've got a boo boo when he was rolling around like a Delta LARPer.
