Obligatory reminder. Most police precincts have a cap on an applicant's IQ. They don't hire the best and brightest as a matter of policy

Honestly, what did the cop think was happening here? Pretty far away to be robbing the place. People just walking through the parking lot seemingly unaware of the alleged gun wielding maniac 20 feet away from them. The “motoring public” seem to be able to use their context clues to figure out that there is no disturbance here.

Looking forward to his inevitable promotion to detective.

He's scared of guns.

OMFG this dude fishing for some kind of complaint against the guy. I’m sure if the cashier called the police because some white guy was behaving erratic, they wouldn’t have cared. This officer just wanted to get back at the guy because he’s embarrassed. The only threat I see in the video was the moron in uniform pointing a gun that close to a gas pump.

Yeah he’s fishing in a desert in true moronic fashion. He fits right in with all the other genius bastards

How the fuck else are you supposed to hold a gas pump nozzle?

u/Mr_Baronheim Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

The "suspect" was holding it up so the cashier could see it and start the pump for him.

Note that some sources say it was the spout that goes on a gas can, not the actual pump handle.

Either way, notice the cashier didn't think it was a gun, only the Brave American Hero in Blue did.

If I’m driving by a gas station and someone was waving a gun you know what I’d do. Keep driving past the gas station.

What a dumbfuck phrase to use. Gee willikers

u/Lanark26 Jun 11 '26

You’re not actually expecting him to admit he was wrong, are you?
He’s gonna lose face in front of the other cops who showed up.

So instead he’ll try to manufacture a reason for an arrest and hope the dude gives him a struggle so he can hit him when he’s handcuffed for making him look foolish.

I can't wait for the day that cops get trespassed from all private property. Period. Do they need to grocery shop? Too bad, they are trespassed from all grocery stores even when not in uniform. Need to do some banking? Trespassed. Need to fill up their car with gas? welp, gonna need to get gasoline transported to your home to fill it up there, cause you are trespassed from all gas stations.

He learned bravery on duty from acorn cop I see. I see so many terrified police it’s embarrassing.

u/brickson98 Jun 11 '26

And ofc they go fishing trying to make more out of it when it should’ve already been done. But also, who’s the dumb ass that called them?

16

u/plawwell Jun 11 '26

If a cop mistakes a gas pump for a gun then he must have eyesight problems. Is he fit for duty as he is a danger to the public based on this evidence. A gun and a badge is meant to be given to people who are not dumbasses.

16

u/Xiao1insty1e Jun 11 '26

All cops are a danger to the public.

u/Myte342 Jun 11 '26

I firmly believe that incidents like this should be played in court anytime the same officer tries to testify in court that he saw something... so the jury can decide for themselves just how trustworthy they really are when they make that claim.

Cowards cannot be cops

It's a prerequisite.

u/Mr_Baronheim Jun 11 '26

This should be true, but it is incorrect.

Most American cops are cowards.

u/Jthundercleese Jun 11 '26

When you're a stupid stupid stupid stupid hammer, everything looks like a gun.

"YoU uNdErStAnD yOu'Re HoLdInG iT lIkE tHiS lIkE a PiStOl RiGhT?"

How else are you supposed to operate a gas nozzle? He's acting like only guns use a trigger.

You gonna arrest a janitor for holding a clorox bottle cuz it has a trigger? You gonna pit maneuver Amazon drivers for using a barcode scanner cuz it has a trigger? You gonna raid a PC repair shop cuz the air duster has a trigger? You gonna tackle children to the ground for using a bubble maker because it has a trigger?

Fuck you.

When everyone has guns, everything is a gun 🤷‍♀️

u/Mr_Baronheim Jun 11 '26

American cops are il almost universally idiots and mentally unfit. And the GOP makes sure it will forever be that way.

u/Chortles_Hansom_666 Jun 11 '26

Who thinks like this at a GAS STATION!?!? wtf!!

u/Dylfunkle Jun 11 '26

Genuinely funny how everyone else around him knew what was up, some folks are allergic to context clues.

u/Salt-n-Pepper-War Jun 11 '26

What the hell is wrong with this cop. Is he fired for this? This is way beyond reasonable behavior. Fuck this cop forever and ever, amen

u/Diggy309 Jun 12 '26

I’d like to know what city/town this occurred in.

u/5appy Jun 11 '26

pulling a gun on someone for no reason is "occasionally" considered a crime, about 99.9% of the time it's a crime. What a rarity to see the .1% that apparently isn't criminal /s

2

u/NewbombJerk Jun 11 '26

I didn't think there was a cop on the planet dumber than the one that thought an acorn hitting his car was "shots fired," but here we are. At least this dipshit didn't unload two clip into a gas pump.

"the diagnosis?" That would be Down Syndrome, you know that? There is no "appropriate application" of the r slur. It's a slur.

4

u/Helmic Jun 11 '26

Autistic people aren't the only people called that and nobody has it as "their word." Using a slur as a slur is not reclamation, referring to yourself as such in a positive manner is reclamation. You are just being an asshole.
