Thankfully the video was created as satire, the full video shows the officer firing off over 20 rounds to help emphasize that it is fake.

The cop should be fired for fireing in a residential zone to try ot pop balloons, the bullets when coming down could have killed someone.

maybe for something like a .22 but for most calibers it coming back on the way down is enough to pierce your skull. People die every year at new years because dumb asses shoot a pistol in the air and the bull comes back down and kills someone. Look it up, it is a legitimate problem.

thatoneiranianguy ONLINE (09/13/2015) [-] Actually, no, that's not the case. Many people have died due to celebratory gunfire over the years.
Bullets within certain angles can maintain a dangerous velocity upon coming back down.

profanity (09/12/2015) [-] Yes and no. A bullet fired vertically cannot realistically reach high enough velocity to kill someone on it's way down. Using F=mv^2 minus some air resistance you can roughly see that a bullet cannot achieve any deadly force.
Now if the bullet is fired at an angle, the bullet will travel in an arch and will most likely maintain aerodynamic stability (bullet spins during trajectory lowering air resistance and increasing speed+stability). We can't simply use 3D mechanics here to roughly estimate the final velocity or impact force since there are too many variables in this situation... but yeah.
We don't what the angle was the the officer shot so we'll never know how the bullet will behave.

All bullets are falling. What the **** do you mean bullets falling can't kill you? Once you get beyond few dozen feet ahead you already have to account for gravity and wind resistance. The lower the angle, the more dangerous a bullet is (assuming ---- is 0, 0-45 degrees is the most dangerous, 45-90 is less so).
Then it obviously matters what the **** bullet is being fired. The pointier the bullet, the more dangerous it is. Even assuming he shot perfectly upwards, if he did so with a fairly pointed bullet, that could certainly kill someone at 90m/s.
30 Caliber round has a terminal velocity of 90 m/s, only a 61-100 m/s is required for to pierce skin, depending on a few factors. If you can break the skin, then you can, in some scenarios, kill a man.

Here's a few dozen instances of people dying from stray bullets.

mrwillje (09/12/2015) [-] Actually maybe a bit more like 80 degrees+. And just don't go round calling people retarded. Yeah, you have your articles, but in practice the variables involved can't be measured. You can't make the point that guns shot straight up or 10 degrees either side of straight up can kill, because that's ******* physically impossible. People just ******* love disagreeing.

xarlot (09/12/2015) [-] The angle is nearly straight up. Until around 45 degrees in angle to the ground, the bullet will only kill when impacting the eye mouth or ear. It'd hurt otherwise, but it's almost certain it would not kill anyone the way the cop is shooting. That's not saying it's legal to shoot up in the air like that, but it's extremely improbable that it would kill anyone. Especially when hardly anyone would be outside at that time of year. Looking at the sky or otherwise. source www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2011/03/watch_out_for_falling_bullets.html

mrwillje (09/12/2015) [-] Because parabolas. For the bullet to come down again, it needs to reach a point at which it's vertical velocity is zero. And on its way back down, even if it were to reach it's critical velocity, there wouldn't be nearly enough energy to kill someone. It's different if the angle were smaller than the guy shoots in the video. In that case there would more than likely be a sufficient horizontal velocity left over for it to harm someone. Otherwise the horizontal velocity would be next to nothing due to air resistance. To work out specifics you'd need the calibre, what grain bullets they were etc.

toohntown (09/12/2015) [-]
It sounds dumb but he is most right in this case. Every object has a terminal velocity and it so happens that the terminal velocity of a bullet wouldn't kill unless it hit in a very specific spot. However if the bullet was shot at less than a 45 degree angle it's velocity along the x axis would be great enough to still kill with less velocity along the y axis.
However, it would still severely injure someone if it hit them probably.

mrwillje (09/12/2015) [-] No, that's also a myth. That's what I was talking about when I said critical velocity. If you drop an object of a large building it doesn't keep on accelerating, it reaches a final velocity and doesn't get any faster. Usually for small objects like pennies and bullets this is quite fast, but not fast enough to gain enough energy to kill someone. It would hurt like hell and leave one hell of a bruise, though. I couldn't find anything else about the coin thing except this mythbusters thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHxvMLoKRWg

kitsunesai (09/12/2015) [-] No, a coin dropped off a building will not kill someone if it hits them.
It might hurt a bit, but that's about it. It can only go so fast when falling.
Even going it's fastest speed isn't enough to kill someone.

coruptangel (09/12/2015) [-]
In theory, if she shot straight up the bullets would end up stopping before they start their decent downwards, or at least significantly enough where by the time it hit its terminal velocity it wouldn't even bruise some one if they get hit by it. Although I do agree with you in the sense that he should've been fired for his actions

And god damn was that an overreaction and a half by that cop.
' **** ! 10-4 suspect has released his stash into the sky' - proceeds to unload entire clip
Imperial guardsman could have shot better than that

considering they'd be falling at a fairly slow speed the most they'd do to anyone is give a bump on their head.

policexplain (09/13/2015) [-] Regardless of the realism:
1) that might be considered negligently discharging a firearm, depending on the surroundings.
2) just let the stash go and arrest the guy for resisting/delaying and destroying evidence. Hell, throw a littering charge on there, too.
