I remember in elementary school a cop came over to show something or whatever. Anyways, one of my classmates stood next to him and saw the gun and poked the holster because he didn't know what it was. The cop elbowed him full blast in the nose.

We were like 6 years old...

Must have accidentally mistaken your classmate for his own child

Or thought the child was a small dog.

Good thing the cops considered him "the right kind of person" otherwise he'd just be dead.

Just like the fake story gets repeatedly posted.

I'm reading plural incidents.

I want to know how many time he successfully dino-lifted a gun and got away with it before he was caught.

If the number is more than zero, well done Mr. Dino-Grabber Suspect, well done!

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The number was, in fact, zero. (The story is made up. It circulates around every so often with the same mugshot that came from a real, but very different case.)

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Hmmm... The same dino grabbers that can't pick up a stuffed animal?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fake story. Mugshot is from this case.

I know I'm factchecking a shitpost, but I get the feeling a lot of people would otherwise think this is a real story.

I acknowledged that in the comment.

Judging by other top level comments, it seems many people do indeed simply accept it as something that actually happened.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, from holsters that require special training to simply remove the gun from.

Even if they weren't special holsters, try unsnapping a leather or ballistic snap with a dino toy.

It's just fake funny shit that gets distributed waaay too far because our species has lost all capability to think.

How? I can barely shoot mine with a slinky, maybe he puts silly putty in its mouth for better grip?
