We've got a mugshot here today that shows what happens to you when you shoot at a cop.  Don't shoot at a cop.

--On Friday night, police reported to a neighborhood in southwestern Atlanta after getting a report about possible drug activity.  35-year-old Reggie Robinson was one of the officers on the scene.

--He chased down a suspect, 20-year-old Frank Nance . . . until Nance turned on him and FIRED A SHOT at his FACE.  It hit Robinson in the face . . . then other cops took down Nance.

--And even though Robinson was the one who was shot in the face . . . Nance's face might've ended up looking WORSE.  Because he's BEAT UP in his mugshot.

--The police wouldn't comment on WHY Nance ended up getting so beat up, but they said they'll review to make sure the other cops followed proper procedures.

--Robinson is in the hospital recovering from the gunshot wound to his face.  He's in stable condition.  Nance was arrested on several charges.
