"I'm hit! I'm hit!" The deputy, Jesse Hernandez, can be heard yelling, though no one was shooting at him.

The deputy has since resigned.

This is what happens when cops are pumped full of fear and are told everyone is out to get them.

Okaloosa Island, Florida destination beach wedding

[tronmike82]

The SS United States is going to be sunk off the coast of florida to be made into an artificial reef, that blows.

She should be restored to working order and made into a museum. That is the only fate good enough for America’s Flagship, but instead they’re just sinking her; what a fucking disgrace.

I guess when florida man isn’t tweaking on meth, or being a general menace to society; he’s destroying history.

If you're looking for a vacation spot that offers stunning views and plenty of sunshine, Okaloosa Island is an excellent choice. The island is located in the northwest part of Florida, and it is a breathtaking destination that offers a range of activities for visitors to enjoy. The island is home to a long stretch of beautiful white sandy beaches that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing. The beach is well maintained and offers plenty of space, so even when it's crowded, there is still plenty of room for everyone. One of the most remarkable things about Okaloosa Island is the crystal-clear waters. The water is so clear that you can see straight to the bottom, and the shades of blue are stunning. Whether you want to go swimming, snorkeling, or kayaking, you'll be able to enjoy the beauty of the water in all its glory. During my visit, I was lucky enough to witness dolphins playing in the water just a few feet away from me. It was an unforgettable experience that I'll always cherish. If you're interested in seeing more dolphins, I would highly recommend going on a dolphin cruise. Many tour operators offer dolphin tours, and it's a great way to get up close and personal with these amazing creatures. During the tour, you'll be able to see dolphins playing and jumping out of the water, which is truly a magical experience. Overall, Okaloosa Island is a breathtaking destination that I would highly recommend visiting. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an adventure-packed trip, this island has something for everyone. The beauty of the island is truly unmatched, and the memories you'll make here will last a lifetime.

From the article:

Jackson wrote on Facebook that he remembers the horrifying moment when Hernandez opened fire. “As soon as that was announced multiple shots were fired at me while I was stuck in the backseat. All I could do was lean over and play dead to prevent getting shot in the head,” Jackson wrote. “I was scared to death and I knew all I could depend on was God! I ignored everything and prayed! Windows were shattering on me the whole time as bullets continued flying across me.” Hernandez fired more than a dozen shots at and into the car, all of which missed Jackson. Another deputy, identified as Sergeant Beth Roberts, also shot toward the car after she heard Hernandez yelling. Jackson wasn’t hurt, and authorities didn’t find a weapon on him either. After the shooting, Jackson said deputies approached the patrol car, pointing their weapons at him before swarming the vehicle, taking him out of the car, and slamming him on the ground. Then, they took him to the hospital. “At that moment, I saw just how many officers there were,” Jackson wrote. “But the image I can’t get out of my head is seeing how bad my mom was hurt/crying right before I got into the ambulance!” In the body camera video, viewers can hear a woman screaming in the background after the shooting. Jackson also said that after he was taken to the hospital to be evaluated, his pictures and fingerprints were taken at the Okaloosa County Courthouse, but he was never told what he’d been charged with, according to his post. “I continued to ask every officer I saw what was I being charged with and they all said the same thing… ‘I don’t know, we’re waiting on more info,'” Jackson wrote. “I sat in the cell for hours! Eventually, an officer told me I’m free to go and that I am not charged with anything.” Although Jackson miraculously escaped injury, he said that the shooting left him permanently scarred. “I haven’t been the same since and I don’t think this feeling I have will ever change. I truly believe I’m damaged for life!”
