Their motto should be: Barska - Making stuff since 1994. Sometimes, less is more.

I appreciate where you are coming from. Can't say I disagree with the idea. The sad fact is, taxes are high in my area. Especially in the towns. We have folks come to our office and ask why there aren't more officers on the street. We tell them that the tax base would have to increase by...

When in the field, and MRE toilet paper was not an option (is it ever?), I returned many times with sleeveless halter tops. I kept clothing and sales in business just buying t shirts.

THIS. A MILLION TIMES THIS. Some agencies roll them out for career day at schools or community events. At my school, we have a guy from the "other side" of the bridge that shows up with his SWAT gear, bomb robot, etc. He sets his table up next to mine and lays out weapons, gear, the whole...

For me personally, we have had a few investigations solved by private citizen security cameras. While we canvas the area during the investigation, and we notice a camera, we go to the homeowner and say "Hey, we notice you have a camera that faces "X" direction. If you have a few minutes, can...

I doth believe the Ravens have yet another one in the "WIN" column!

No problem. Glad to help shed some light where I can. I can tell you that even at my agency, our pursuit policy years ago was "Chase 'em till the wheels fall off - even out of state". Now, you had better have witnessed them commit a felony, or see a child bound and gagged in the trunk to...

Veer, I thought you may find this interesting. While on ESPN.com, I saw this headline: "ESPN is now broadcasting all Eagles games on the History Channel due to fans constantly talking about the past" May help you and Doc out!

Although I may not always agree with your viewpoints, I truly appreciate your responses. Always well written and thought provoking. As for the debate about vehicle take down vs. knock and announce - there's a time and place for both. Agencies have to weigh all the factors when attempting the...

You lucky, lucky bastard. I am envious.

See? Everything was going good until THIS guy showed up! Out of curiosity, I just Googled "Philadelphia Eagles Superbowl Wins"............I couldn't find any results........................

Dude. Seriously. Think about this for a second.......I work on the Eastern Shore of MD. Recently, a video surfaced of a Balt. City PD Officer who beat a drunk - and the drunk did nothing physical to the Officer - even while being beat. Victim never even swung back. It was on video...

Amen. When Delegate Dwyer came around to the PD's after Sandy Hook, and Owemalley was looking for support for his confiscation/new legislation efforts, there were a bunch of MD Sheriffs......and two PD Chiefs.........who were vocal about their opposition to the confiscation/new law efforts...

I agree 1000000000000000000000000%. We don't always do ourselves any favors in the PR department. Sometimes we earn bad PR when we even do the right thing. Not everybody likes us. I'm OK with that. I try to remain firm but fair in my official interactions with the folks I serve. Some folks...

You have no idea how bad I want to move even further south. This state is a liberal shithole devolving further every day. If we don't get someone a bit less liberal in the Governor's office, we will be the California of the East Coast. The shore isn't like the "other side". Folks with common...

Am I naive in thinking that I don't have an "Us vs. Them" mentality, or that I think that most of the guys here who say cops have an "Us vs. Them" mentality are the ones who are most vocal about their dislike of cops? Or am I naive in thinking that most supporters of LE are not concerned? How...

I find humor in hypocrisy, that's all. Avatar Police????? What type of pay, benefits, and retirement do they get? Do they accept laterals? In all seriousness, keep your avatar. I understand what hell you had to go through to earn it. While you may not be asking for it.......Thank You.

Hey! That's cool! Obviously I'm not as computer savvy as some on here, but how do you edit a post without it saying that you edited the post? You know, like if I wanted to make a cute little comment - even after my original post was quoted and replied to? Maybe I should ask my middle school...

Somebody put you in for an award. Got it. You weren't looking for recognition, but somebody gave it to you. Got it. You don't think guys should get awards for DOING THEIR JOBS, yet have a CAB as an avatar. Got it. Strange......I never once asked for recognition. Yet you say that I am...
