Recently an acorn fell on a cop car, the cop thought it was gunfire, empied his magazine over it, and then did a fucking barrel roll.
did it end the cop's career though?
No criminal charges for him or his partner, who started blasting too. The first one resigned after the sheriff’s internal affairs investigation told him that he did an oopsie.
so no real consequences as expected
Aside from the end of his career
I don't call that a real consequence to opening fire on an acorn on a public street.
he didn't get fired, he resigned, he probably could restart whenever he wants to
Who/what was he firing his gun at? Who did he think was the enemy?
They shot at their cop car. His partner opened fire too. Also there was someone in the backseat of the car too.

The cops shot at the cops' car
There was a handcuffed man in the back of his cruiser that they thought shot (and hit) the officer
