>In a jailhouse interview with Eyewitness News, the rifle-wielding man who was shot by a Bakersfield Police officer on December 19 said he intentionally approached police with the gun to test a "theory" he had about police brutality.
>29-year-old Jose Vaca had been driving down Oswell St. in East Bakersfield with a friend when he was pulled over by BPD.
>Inside his car he was in possession of a rifle he had recently bought at an auction which he says he planned to sell. As a convicted felon, he knew it was illegal to have the gun but he decided to bring it with him as he exited his vehicle.
>“I come to the front of the police vehicle and I put my butt of the rifle on the floor and I just like, put my hand up,” Vaca said.
>But within seconds, Officer Christian Hernandez opened fire. According to the police report, Hernandez fired 9 shots. Vaca disputes that, saying he was shot 12 times. 9 of those bullets were found inside of him he says, and 3 had exit wounds.
>“Soon as I hit the ground I just attempted to play dead and they fired a few more shots at me from the back as I was lying on the ground,” he said.
>Vaca was taken to Kern Medical and treated for 8 days before being transferred to the Central Receiving Facility on December 27.
>known felon >knew he shouldn't have a gun >walks out of vehicle with gun in front of officer >gets shot >Police brutality! >Fug da bolice :DDDDDD DD

Connor Hughes
Did he releas the YouTube video of his hilarious prank yet
Ayden Martinez
While he's an idiot for walking towards a policeman with a gun after being a convicted felon and pulled over, I have to give the guy credit for being alive after being shot 12 times. If he was black he'd be a god to the other wannabe gangster blacks.
Brayden Rivera
what kind of small ass caliber are American cops using that you can survive 12 bullet wounds?
Christopher Turner
IT WAS JUST A PRANK BRO
Julian Rogers
no shit, we usually kill them
Chase Howard
It's not a crime to be stupid.
Christian Jones
9mm most of the time
Angel Reed
So is his theory confirmed or what?
Xavier Martin
>IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO
Easton Nguyen
.17 HMRs? Because even .22LR would kill after 12 hits.
Luis Sanders
>a nonwhite criminal gets shot by a nonwhite police officer Hmm
Samuel Robinson

Henry Allen

Aaron Carter
Probably 9mm. Beaner was probably fat as fuck too.
Jacob Phillips
Underrated
Jacob Campbell
.17 hits harder than 22.
Jack Brooks
Cops are forced to use fmj and the 124gr. Which are known for over penitration at close range.
Ryder Scott
FUCK POLICE
They had NO right to do this, couldn't they tell he didn't even do anything?! Can you imagine at a bbq, meeting new people and they ask you "So what do you do for a living" and you have to reveal you're one of these assholes who brutalize the people? Worse yet, imagine what it is like to be in high-school and being ask by your friends about your parent's profession: "Well my dad is a thug in uniform who terrorizes the people. He is part of the worst and most criminal police in the world. I'm ashamed but what can I do, he has always been a d-minus student and a bully. Just not a smart man. I will turnout better hopefully." PIgs
Kayden Morris
What kind of shit tier pea shooters did they give BPD?
Owen Nguyen
wut
Carson Wood
That's not true. Every leo I've ever seen uses hollow points
Aaron Barnes
THAT NIGGA LOST ALL HIS HP AND STILL KEPT GOING HO SHIET HE MUSTA HAD DAT JUGGERNAUT PERK
Lucas Diaz
Huh? So are you a leo? Last time i checked cops dont openly answer questions about their loadout or make it a habbbit to have their equipment exposed. What im asking is how in the fuck did you make this observation? Fmj 124gr. Is nato and cheap so im just making a logical jump where your claim is bullshit.
Gavin Parker
Are you mentally ill? LEO muderers PIGs always openly boast about their killing tools
Jack Allen
Not who you were talking to but I've talked with several police officers about what they carry. They usually love guns and like me, love talking about them with people.
I live in the city though and city cops are more laid back and cool that suburban/rural police though, so ymmv
Hunter Robinson
So no proof? Got it.
Joshua Roberts
50 Cent survived 9 shots... same amount as this guy actually. Cop fired 12 but only 9 hit...
Austin King
all cops are muderuos pigs who wouldnt bat an eye to beating you down to get you to "comply"
LOL COP desreved it! Thought he was tough enough to take on a real warrior, typical low iq!
hear how he scream like a real pig, thats what he gets for abusing his powers
Nathaniel Hill
Thats not proof nigger. Thats a magazine.
Henry Young
You're adorable.
Kevin Morales
>dont want to hit civilians
i dont belive that for a second, you people dont give a SHIT about the public safety
you just abuse and use people
John Flores
It's my magazine. I'm literally posting from work. What more do you want. At the very least my department uses hollow points and every department in my state uses hollow points
Carson Cox
What abortions of hollow points are those, I don't even see slits in the jacket and why aren't you carrying speer gold dot like a proper human being.
Blake Hughes
Wow, breaking your own laws inside your department by taking photos while us civilians arent allowed? typical dirty cop, did you drop out of college or something? how many innocent people have you arrested today? 10? 20? 30?
Andrew Wilson
You're either a druggie or underaged so your opinion really doesn't matter.
If you're getting your shit kicked in every time you have an encounter with a cop it's probably your fault desu
Ryder King
Standard issue is 9mm, I wish they would push using .45s
Im pissed Hiro got rid of the (you)s. I could farm you all day.
And the hyper abortion shit tier milsurp stuff we get for free. Still works when it needs to though.
Blake Anderson
If you cant think of anything your either A) too dumb to be leo as the edgyrarians in this thread claim B) not leo Ill give you a hint. Cover the numbers allthough thats not important as we have no idea where your located.
Isaiah Allen
ok this is funny as all fucking hell. ty for making my day, cus holy shit i agree as a beaner!
Nolan Kelly
Well fuck if it's free then whatever works.
Thomas Long
Actually here the females don't mind carrying .45s it's just the department not wanting to shill out for a G21
It costs an arm and a leg just to get to carry a Sig
Evan Thomas
>cops use FMJ Nope, they use HP so they don't punch through and hit civilians behind the guy.
Michael Wilson
I've got nothing to prove to you my man and I'm not about to post my badge. Not like this argument really matters.
Thomas Gomez
A lot of departments carry .40
Caleb Taylor
Milsurp? Hollow points are against the geneva convention. T. Ex 21W
Christian Carter
love how you avoided watching the video i linked, guess youre in denial or too stupid to figure it out
which would make sense since u decided to be a cOP
Jacob King
...
Connor Sullivan
Same reason the FBI dropped 10mm, and is looking to drop .40. Women can't handle the recoil.
Jayden Russell
Not stateside they aren't. When I was in the chairforce we used JHPs
