Florida deputy Jesse Hernandez screamed “shots fired,” and frantically fired his gun after an acorn fell onto the roof of his squad car, making him jump.

    Cops are among the easiest people to spook. They’re like bunny rabbits, but with guns.

    Other triggers include

    • removing something from a pocket especially when asked
    • being brown
    • running, for any reason
    • Owning a dog
    • not being white

      There’s a whole cottage industry around training cops to believe they have the most dangerous job on the planet, and everyone is trying to kill them. Having been deployed to a warzone several times myself, we were NEVER taught to be as scared of normal people as police are.

      The training is called “killology,” and I’m not dumb enough to have come up with that name myself.
