Florida Man goes to...

...shoot his own patrol vehicle full of holes because he thought he was under fire.
Police had become aware during their investigation of a pistol Jackson owned, which was complete with a silencer. Jackson's girlfriend, who had called police to the scene, showed them the weapon in an old picture on her phone. Police were not aware of the firearm's location, though they had thoroughly patted down Mr. Jackson, so he couldn't have had it on him.
Deputy Hernandez described walking back to his patrol vehicle, 'I start walking back to my car. Um, so he's on the passenger side, um, in the back seat. Um, I'm walking up to my car. I'm about to reach for the, like the door handle. Um, and about si-simultaneously. I, I, I hear, um, to me at the time, what I believe would be a suppressed weapon off to the side. Definitely heard this noise. At the same time, I felt an impact on my right side, like upper torso area.'
And then he emptied his magazine into the patrol car. Fortunately, the suspect in the back seat did not get hit.
All that over an acorn dropping and hitting the cruiser at the exact moment when Hernandez walked by! I have to note that Hernandez served two tours in Afghanistan, though never saw direct combat. Still, serving in any capacity tends to stick with you for a while.
Emphasis mine.
Officer Hernandez resigned from the police force as a result of the incident

That's getting pretty far into the “and he's still alive?” territory…

Looking at the article it seems like it might have actually been relevant to the charges, as the beach was apparently somewhat clothing optional, but he was yanking someone’s chain with it…

Some people just need an example of exemplary cock meat in order to get in the mood.

Ah, this was potential plan 5,225, but with a weird arm chair thing and on the public path instead of the beach proper! That was shot down as being even less likely to work than sunbathing without the stupid tackle. And that already had abysmal odds to begin with!
