    The suspect in the car was known to have at least one pistol with a suppressor. That being said, the guy was given a cursory pat-down and could not have had a suppressed firearm on him unless it was in him.

    A properly setup suppressed pistol fired from within a vehicle would be fairly quiet, but would sound nothing like an acorn bouncing off a car and you would know if you were hit.

    He has no business being a cop if he freaks out when an acorn bounces off a car and taps his vest. Luckily the suspect was not physically harmed and the cop resigned. Hopefully the suspect gets a nice payout from the city.

      A Glock 17 9mm pistol is 162 db, with a suppressor it is 126 db. That’s roughly as loud as a jackhammer. Not exactly what I’d call quiet.
