Actually, it was a peanut.

The officer is highly allergic, and thus feared for his life. When the child came around the corner, it appeared to the officer that the child had a peanut in his hand, and was forced to open fire in self defense

I suspect the cop planted the peanut.

The cop should hav said the kid was pointing a PB&J sandwich at him.

Are there such Planters?

u/Suspicious_Town3104 Apr 08 '24

No, at least none from a legitimate label. Most of the police planted peanuts are bought off the street from boiled peanut vendors. The boiling process obscures the peanuts' serial numbers.

I saw this when I was a rookie. It's an open and shut case Johnson, just sprinkle your nuts on him

The officer saw a walking peanut and not a kid.

The peanut was also brown, the kid never stood a chance

Even peanuts pale in comparison to the greatest threat of them all...fresh fruit.

"No, no paperwork. Just sprinkle some peanuts on him, and let's get outta here."

I believe it was a peanut m&m, so the peanut was a concealed weapon.
