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.
Jeez so fked up...
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

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.
But why male models?
Are you serious? I just told you that!
He very likely mistaked (again...) one of the ejected casings hitting him for getting hit
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.
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.
Taylor Swift jet stuff + Taylor Swift being on the left + that cop who shot at the suspect already in custody because an acorn fell on his car.
Taylor Swift being on the left
This isn’t part of it
Well if she was on the right, she wouldn't be going out of her way to end police careers 😌
I remember when wanting to end the careers of idiotic cops who shoot at acorns wasn't a partisan issue.
For other former non-partisan topics, see also:
- Fighting nazis
- Space exploration
- Having a planet that can support life
Wait, I missed the space exploration part. Why is that partisan now?
They believe leaving space to private companies results in greater success
Personally I think if the government taxed all these billionaires the equivalent to what they spent on space then NASA would be ahead of all of them but I don’t make policy
Who even knows. Republicans are always attacking NASA. At various points because it was "woke", or researching climate change, or an easy target for budget cuts.
