Having been hit by an acorn, doubtless thrown by you-know-who, I can assert that the officer was in fact in danger and his actions were reasonable. Well, maybe not reasonable, but understandable.

A perfect example why I never travel by car or leave my house for that matter.
*how the hell does the sound of an acorn hitting the roof of a car sound like a gun being fired?
"I'm hit!" A great scene in the movie Platoon when Charlie Sheen screams out "I'm hit!" He thinks he is dying. Turns out to be a scratch. Precisely 5:19 in.

That's why I always keep my bullet in my shirt pocket.
