Any department that actually buys one of these turkeys is going to be very unhappy about the maintenance costs. Can’t park under trees, can’t let it get rained on, and if you’re in a medium-speed accident, the lack of crumple zone will injure your officers at higher rates.
Well if we’re being fair, that’s a bad idea for all cop cars. Trees might drop very hostile acorns, forcing the officer to unload his gun.
I wish I didn’t know exactly to what you referring.

I’ll just add that both officers were such bad shots that they missed the man handcuffed and strapped down in the back of their own squad car. smdh.
That officer should not have been in that job. He should’ve known his PTSD was too much of an issue.
I still pity him. He heard an acorn hit a car and was convinced he had been shot. Not shot at, shot. He thought he’d been hit by a bullet because an acorn landed on his car. His brain has been fucked by his time in the Army Special Forces.
Fortunately the man being shot at was sitting in a police car. Unlikely they were gonna hit him regardless of aim.
My first thought was that a couple cops are going to get hurt in traffic accidents and then their union is going to point to the increased injury rate as a reason for further militarization
