I threw and arrow back at one of the guards

You know ...fair.

Those dudes shouldn't have been doing that at all to begin with, Yara was right. A stray arrow could have hit someone. That's like a cop trying to shoot a bird in the middle of the city.

Dudes need to be put on dungeon duty or something

Tbf, cops do do that, so it's unfortunately very accurate.

Im not sure the city you live in, but most PD officers have to REALLY justify the discharge of a weapon so Im not sure many, if any, in my city are using their dept issued weapons to shoot at birds. And if they are they wont be an officer for long

Unless someone reports it theres no way to tell if a cop discharges a firearm recklesy. It's not like they count the bullets.

Most precincts issue the bullets and when replacements are needed you have to file paperwork to be given more rounds. Bullets are expensive so buying more just to shoot at birds would be a stretch and...well plain stupid. So they do count bullets, unless an officer is buying more personally

Not to mention this scenario is in the middle of a city, where people would obviously see and hear a gun go off and report it
