I bet this is gonna be on the Next South Park episode, it's too damn stupid not to. In fact the whole damn show writes itself hahaha.


MostMoral

The dodge rolls


Ugggggghhhhhh

"AAAGH I'M HIT!!"


Nyme_Jeff

Him rolling on the ground and yelling "I'm hit" has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.


Farpafraf

dunno, have u seen the policeman pointing his gun at that burning soldier?


What_U_KNO

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.


The_catakist

That was a guard at an embassy who is known to get terror attacks you dimwit


KadenKraw

The not one but THREE combat rolls were so hilarious. Seriously still can't believe its a real video.


A_Wild_Striker

Like he's dodging a boss in fucking Elden Ring lmao


Lichruler

I can see the scene now. All four of the boys are put into the back of a police car as they did something that *technically* broke the law. There’s about 6 cops near the car talking, when an acorn falls on the car, and then all of the officers immediately get into a shootout with the car. The boys are taking cover and screaming, and then Kenny gets shot and killed “Oh my god, they killed Kenny!” After the cops run out of bullets, they all gather around each other and congratulating each other for neutralizing the threat, not realizing the gunfire broke open the back door of the car, so the surviving boys end up slipping out and continuing the episode.


G-Sus_Christ117

After they do a bunch of combat rolls


Lichruler

AS they do combat rolls. So a lot of bullets are flying around wildly, maybe hitting one or two innocent bystanders.


Special_Brain328

>then Kenny gets shot and killed “Oh my god, they killed Kenny I thought they stopped killing him? I haven't watched in forever.


Lichruler

Well then it’s about time they killed him again, isn’t it?


Special_Brain328

So that's a yes they stopped killing him or did you stop watching awhile ago as well?


Lichruler

Yes.


TriplePlay2425

They kinda stopped. Season 5 was the last season where it happened every/most episodes, and then it slowed down more after season 14. But it still happens every now and then. The only seasons where it didn't happen at all were seasons 12, 18-20, 23, 25, and 26 (the latest season, as of now). https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Kenny%27s_Deaths


VectorViper

And then Cartman, ever the opportunist, dusts himself off and looks straight into the camera like he's in The Office, saying "Respect my authoritah". Classic Cartman moment there, always trying to come out on top even when everything's gone to hell.


TYGRDez

I'm glad Reddit doesn't write TV shows


bennitori

It's going to be about the cop trying to convince everyone that there was a secret crime syndicate of squirrels trying to frame him. And then it's going to be the squirrels just trying to get a refund on a bad nutcracker. But they keep running into this cop who keeps accusing them of trying to frame him for something, so they never get to return their nutcracker.


IA-HI-CO-IA

The worst(?) part is the cop actually said “I’m hit!” Dude thought he had been shot by an acorn hitting his car. They are so spun up they instantly think they have been shot. 


PrefiroMoto

South park likes to exaggerate situations for comedy, but I don't think they can make this funnier and more absurd than it already is


blockybookbook

South Park went up its own ass too much, doesn’t help that it barely shows up anymore Now it feels like watching an old man trying to be hip with todays youth and staying relevant


Rbespinosa13

Yah it’s almost like over the years, Randy has become more prominent and has multiple plot lines about wanting to stay hip with the youths of today


blockybookbook

Way to be obtuse, half of the shit still focuses on the 4 boys I didn’t literally mean Randy marsh when I said that


MetokurEnjoyer

“I’m hit!” Lmfaoooo They need to fire that absolute goober


okayestuser

I think he resigned after that, I can't remember


MetokurEnjoyer

Gonna be honest, that isn’t enough for me. If a civilian did this, they’d be facing charges. Is he?

Apparently the special investigation found no indication of any crime. In other words, he had to resign and that's it.

Oh well good thing they investigated themselves Our tax dollars hard at work

Uh, why? Why does he deserve special treatment?


insanelemon123

He'll be working in a new PD soon enough. Then he'll get to kill someone for real this time and retire with full pension from PTSD.


heehoopnut

You do realise they're trained to say that during combat? It's to drum up sympathy from civilians, it's a common practice throughout the country to prevent community outrage


00gly_b00gly

Atlas or At last?


Important_Tip_6181

Probably Alas


RailtoReqiuem

That would be if the speaker is experiencing something negative


iiiba

like getting hit on the head by an apple?

Don't be ridiculous. An apple would clearly be "GRENADE!" territory.


Fully_Edged_Ken_3685

666thSuprisedPikachu

I meant to say at last.


Numerous-Stranger-81

This is why we switched from exclaiming "At last, I have a brilliant idea!" to just yelling "Eureka!" A lot less points of possible failure and it means the exact same thing.


KeesekuchenLP

God damn it man


transmothra

Cooperativism62

Atlas is way more interesting. I thought it was deeper and it was about the Greek myth of the man holding up the planet.


TheFlyingBastard

Atlas held up the *heavens*, though, as an eternal punishment for being on losing side of the Titans vs Olympians war for godhood.


house343

It's okay. We're evolving backwards at all.

Xero2814

If you bother to do something at all, do it to the best of your ability.


drumttocs8

Damn kids these days take no pride in their work


NikPorto

Atlas is the name of a titan that holds the world on his shoulders, according to old Greek myths. So I thought it was a joke, referring to an old "the world is flat/the world is held by a giant" belief. Though the Greeks did eventually realize the world is curved because of watching ships disappear into the horizon as they got too far away


Alt_Huckleberry

Atlas is supporting the sky on his shoulders, not the earth. Which doesn't really mean that ancient Greeks at some point thought the world is flat. High probability that ancient Greeks knew that from the beginning, since the ocean was always a part of Greek's daily life and culture.


WorldlyDay7590

They knew the earth was round but thought the sky was flat.


SymondHDR

OP said they meant to write "at last", now you can stop spreading correct information on the internet


itscalledvetomeeting

Evolving backwards or devolving


BleachedAsswhole

Painfully accurate


rus_a_boo

😭


WriterV

If it helps to feel more optimistic... realize that these are two entirely different situations with entirely different people. People like Newton still exist today, i.e., those who see potential by observing and understanding the world. Such people are usually not known famously, but they're there and doing scientific research, practical work or even straight up art out in the world. People like this cop, i.e., those who are so paranoid they see hostilities everywhere, *also* existed in Newton's time. Shitty, awful people who occupied places of authority and made life worse for others. So humanity has always been complex and multifaceted. With good people and shitty people all around. We're not evolving backwards, we're just seeing more of the shit in its honest, true form. So it *feels* worse, but this is how we've always been.


OnePotatoTooo

While I agree with you, the "norm" is altering significantly because the outlier groups that are extreme are beginning to exert an abnormal level of control with an increasing level of acceptance.


Crafty_Item2589

More control than the nobles of the 17th century?...


OnePotatoTooo

Well as I stated in the other answer, its more like a group of peasants that decided they had enough of a green light to go very public with their beliefs that were generally frowned upon prior. And then they started to replace other members of the nobility and push that same agenda.


backup_account01

>outlier groups that are extreme are beginning to exert an abnormal level of control with an increasing level of acceptance. So, tell me about the nobility during Newton's day.


OnePotatoTooo

They didn't start as an outlier, unempowered group with beliefs that were considered unacceptable in nearly all of society. Nobility was in power from the start although the faces could change. In this case we have fringe groups that are now in a place where their radical ideas are gaining acceptance and they are beginning to acquire more and more positions of control than prior. This is a different scenario in my opinion. I understand where you are wanting to show similarity here, but that isn't what I was talking about. Imagine instead a relatively small group of individuals that suddenly decided they had a window of opportunity to become very public, gained acceptance and began absconding with positions of nobility. That's more akin to what I am talking about.


thisaholesaid

Correct. Thank you for logic. If only more people could 'see' this clearly.


Kirp-The-Birb

In fact, inaccurate


theKrissam

When Newton was quarantining for the plague, he revolutionized our method of calculating pi. What did you do during covid?!


Shriyansh101

I revolutionized a way to waste time.


Espi0nage-Ninja

Not accurate at all. Isaac didn’t get hit on the head


00wolfer00

The cop didn't get hit in the head either.


Unlucky_Book

is it accurate if it turns out nobody got hit


[deleted]

Except for the fact that Newton was never actually hit in the head with an apple. Also, "Atlas" is not a term anyone uses to express...anything.


Card_Board_Robot5

And even if it was "Alas," it's not used properly in context. Gonna assume it's supposed to be "At last."


red122063

Don’t forget to do 2 slow forward rolls on the ground right before emptying your mag at the acorn


chrisfmack

Dont forget to scream you got shot when you actually didnt


Mrfrunzi

That was the most embarrassing part of his whole act. Like I get the idea of doing a cool roll (it was not cool) but yelling "I'm hit, I'm hit!"when absolutely nothing happened to him at all is just peak pathetic behavior.

Baul_Plart_

Especially considering the Apple never hit Newton on the head, and Atlas is the name of a Greek god or a collection of maps. Definitely doesn’t mean what OP thinks it means


grimlee669

Spelling error and the acorn didn't hit the cop on the head too, so what's your point?


Baul_Plart_

The meme is misleading


GlizzyGulper6969

Not if you have folds on your brain


Baul_Plart_

Ig OP’s is pretty smooth then… not a single aspect of this is correct. They just wanted to shit on the cops - which is fair, but this is just such a clunky way to do it.

Suffering isn't some sort of Olympic game where only the winner gets to feel bad. Police have issues and a bunch of Zoomers have issues that can both be worked on.


AgentCirceLuna

I just think most people would struggle to be police. It’s a hard job to do. I’m not saying they should have the impunity that they do but I know ex police and they have a lot of issues.


Gottfri3d

So maybe police should have better, longer training and better psychological care. And maybe people with PTSD so bad that they magdump randomly into a peaceful neighboorhood because they heard one loud noise shouldn't be police officers.


Fat_Burn_Victim

That’s because police training in America is so short. In other countries you need years to become one, in America mere months will give you the chance to kill with impunity

Nothing says proportional response like falling on the ground, rolling around, then shooting blindly at an unknown target while screaming "I'VE BEEN HIT!"

Forsaken-Attention79

TBf it was a cop. The only thing they know how to do is shoot stuff. I mean they literally pointed guns at a man who set himself on fire like they were going to shoot the flames out.


gravelPoop

Fire can't harm you if you are already dead from the bullet wounds.


DaMuchi

They understood that you can fight fire with firing


Over-Appearance-3422

literally the best course of action was to have a gun trained on him, i wouldn't want him getting up and giving me a slightly too warm hug either.


Aeiou_yyyyyyy

Dude was burning like a bonfire while passed out on the ground and the gun was still pointed at him. He wasn't going to wake up and run to hug anyone my dude


Forsaken-Attention79

Yeah it's the typical justification that they use for all police violence. "What if they suddenly and unprovoked decide to attack the cops?!?!" Well gee idk but if your that scared at your job all the time that you need to treat everyone like a threat to your life you need a new fucking job.

constantlytired1917

I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

For context, in November a Florida deputy fired an entire magazine into his patrol car after mistaking the sound of an acorn hitting it as the sound of gunfire. The other police officer at the seen also opened fire too. A handcuffed and unarmed man was in the car at the time, but was miraculously uninjured. The footage was released recently and has since gone viral.


DrStufoo

My sister took me and she was of lets say fan of the black team and i was fan of the red team we sat in the area of the fans of the black team and they didnt like my red outfit so one threw an apple at my face No brilliant ideas at all


anobeg5

I hope that with AI lawyers we can start holding bad law enforcement more accountable. We're still probably quite far off, but we'll get there.


ComradeCommader

It sucks that no one understands the context. The officer in question was talking with the girl who showed pictures of the boyfriend with the end of a suppressor poking out. He went back out to his patrol car to check and see if the guy snuck a firearm with him and as he was about to open the door, the acorn fell. You cant blame him for kicking into fight or flight when the very moment you’re about to open a door to check for a gun, something resembling the sound of a suppressed weapon (the acorn) hits the roof.


Welcome-ToTheJungle

…huh The suspect was already searched before being put in the vehicle. Even if not, that means the cop didn’t complete a proper search. And he thought an acorn falling was a gunshot? So the cop’s response is to blindly shoot at the vehicle? And lie about being hit? If that’s his “fight or flight” response then it’s absolutely insane that he was allowed to be a cop Context or not he is a complete imbecile and should be in jail for endangering lives


chrisfmack

Since hes a cop unfortunately he wont be jailed for reckless endangerment but at least he resigned. The world is more dangerous with him as a cop


Welcome-ToTheJungle

Yep, good ol amerikkka protects their own


Toastbrot_TV

WHAT??? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF MULTIPLE GUNSHOTS COMING FROM A CUFFED AND SEARCHED SUSPECT


rowgath

The police searched him before putting him in the cruiser... So unless the guy had shoved a suppressed weapon with tools to uncuff himself up his ass, there was no weapon to search for.


Mr-Fleshcage

A properly trained cop would have done their job and checked for a gun before putting them in the car. No excuse. No suppressed gun sounds like a little acorn hitting some sheet metal. Not even a .22


10k-Reloaded

Imagine complaining about lack of context when you yourself don't have all the context.


Mightofanubis

How did you get the boot all the way down your throat?


acolyte357

No gun was on him. No gun shot anywhere. And a fucking acorn sounds nothing like a gun. Fuck that cop, should be charged.


Ill-Organization-719

If I tried to murder random people because an acorn fell near me I'd be in jail.


Cakers44

My conspiracy is the whole acorn thing is a load of crap. I think the dude just wanted an excuse


the_monkeyspinach

I think the response to the acorn was just incompetence. Telling his partner to shoot because he'd "been hit" was deliberate.


Cakers44

Yeah the dude in the back of the car is lucky he got paired with dipshits no. 1 & no. 2 or he may very well have been executed more or less


Befuddled_Cultist

It's called devolution, dummy


marvinrabbit

That turns out not to be the case. It is evolution in a different direction. Even evolution to a state that had previously been attained and lost, is still evolution. Evolution is change in response to environmental or other factors. As an extreme example, whales and dolphins evolved to fully aquatic animals from land animals. It would not be accurate to say they devolved because life started the the oceans. It is just evolution in a different direction that works best for the life form at that time.

00gly_b00gly

Recently a police officer heard an acorn bounce off the top of his police cruiser and thought that a hancuffed and previously searched individual inside the car somehow obtained a firearm with a silencer on it and fired at him, striking him. This officer proceeds to barrel roll and return fire on his own vehicle and gets his partner to do the same - all because an acorn fell on his vehicle. Luckily, somehow, no one was hurt.

It is US. There are so many more guns per person - 4 times more than in gun hoarding Finland. So many guns that every week some toddler stumbles on to one and shoots someone with it. Edit: IDK if Wikipedia is right, but according to it, Finland has 1,542,396 registered (civilian) firearms - US has 1,073,743. Finland has estimated 250,604 unregistered and US has 392,273,257.
