The only good thing to be said is that for a short time there was one less cop car pulling over black people, then it came back from the body shop.
One commenter added some critical context to the story:
I actually just read about this, early today. I think two things were involved here, neither of which were mentioned in this article:
The officer served (2) tours overseas. Seeing the lasting affects a tour in Afghanistan has had on a relative, I believe this officer has undiagnosed PTSD which impacted his reaction here.
The officers had reason to believe Jackson owned/possessed a firearm with a suppressor. The sound of a suppressed 9mm isn’t terribly dissimilar from an acorn falling on sheet metal.
Doesn't matter if it was a perfect replay of an exact recording of the weapon they expected to be facing. He emptied a clip into an unknown target with no visual confirmation.

The next evolution of "Florida man" is "Florida cop". A wild acorn appears. Florida cop uses "9mm Glock". Is is not very effective.
This is the kind of video they should show in the academy. A cop so scared that he put the public (and a person in his care and custody) in danger.

Me looking around the article for a satire tag.
From now on when I feel stupid I will make sure to remember I'm not this level of stupid....
Fire that cop and give the acorn a badge.
