Video Reveals Deputy Mistakes Acorn for Gun Fire, Unloads Magazine at Handcuffed Man
Roughly a dozen bullets were fired at a handcuffed, unarmed suspect who miraculously survived. In November 2023 Okaloosa Sheriff's Deputy Jesse Hernandez reported to a scene where a woman alleged her boyfriend refused to return her car and was sending threatening messages. Deputy Hernandez patted the 22yro down, cuffed him, and put him in the back of his patrol car without any physical resistance. As Hernandez returned to the vehicle to perform a more thorough search of the suspect he heard what he believed to be suppressed gunfire coming from inside of the car however an Internal Affairs investigation revealed an acorn was seen dropping on camera and the sound matched perfectly to when the deputy asserted he heard gun fire. Hernandez yelled he had been shot leading to his fellow officer Sgt. Roberts to join him at shooting the patrol car. Deputy Hernandez has been permitted to resign without any criminal charges filed. Sergeant Roberts has been exonerated of wrongdoing and continues working for the Okaloosa Sheriff's Department.
Hi! It's Taya Graham from the Police Accountability Report and I have highlighted this incident as an of poor police training and lack of accountability and as outrageous as it is I am grateful I can highlight this issue without extreme injury or a tragic death at the heart of it. You may have recently seen another shooting highlighted in Houston, Texas where nearly two dozen rounds were fired into an apartment resulting in 5 direct injuries to a woman misidentified as an intruder. These incidents of poorly controlled gunfire are usually assessed and dismissed by asking the officer if they feared for their safety. Activists and many concerned citizens argue that the standards of reasonable use of force as well as qualified immunity-- should be reassessed. I hope you will join us tonight for the premiere of our full report at 9pmEST which focuses deep in the heart of Texas! Will be pinned in comments hope I will get to talk to you in the live chat!
