In the video, posted Friday, an instructor tries to teach a soldier from the Star Wars’ Galactic Empire to shoot straight.

Needless to say, he didn’t make the cut.
The video then asks anyone who thinks they can do better than a Stormtrooper to contact the Fort Worth Police Department to sign up.
The video was viewed over nine million times in under 24 hours.
It’s not the first time that the Fort Worth police have rejected a Star Wars character in this way. Last year, police released a video of Darth Vader having a job interview.
