Awesome, Thanks. forgive me for not knowing. I'll do another search and try to find what I need.
you wont see those threads unless you have access to that section.
mil ought to be separate, le is civil service and should be out in front
What does “out in front” mean?
not behind a super secret, members only forum. lol
Well that’s your opinion, but the main reason that those private sections were started was because most LE got tired of the cop bashing that goes on or used to go on in most forums, which is fucking sad because we are all on the same side. If the Mil guys want a separate section for themselves, they can request that.
there would be far less cop bashing by the masses if police did their job correctly, didn't consider us civilians and them above the rest, shitcanned the meatheads in the dept that need to go and give everyone a bad name and didn't circle wagons around said shitheads when they screw up.
no doubt, agree with that
Cops work to serve and protect the public. The issue is that it is impossible to make everyone happy. Take any topic you want and try to get a consensus on anything. It is a no-win situation. You make one person happy and it will piss off 2-3 other people.
Ridgeline Defense has DMR classes for LE. Both as a 3 day class for patrol officers and a 5 day class to be an instructor. I’d check with them.
What's really interesting is that most departments can't even have a DMR roll because of the distances involved most are shooting at less than 75 yards and anything over that requires special tactics units. even the terminology is too militaristic and therein lies the problem
If only that were true. Sad indeed. Fed civilian jobs get dragged on as well. I should have requested a separate forum when i was a wildlife biologist for USFWS I guess.
people post less than friendly comments on almost all career choices here. It seems as only one of those career choices can't handle the discourse though. But yeah, this question should have been fielded in their own safety bubble, agreed.
those are some shit ass departments. I’ve never heard of anything like that in my area.
Thats a nice training schedule and equipment. We are issued ancient Bushmaster rifles in the team and non-team folks get slapped with bottom barrel M&P 15s. We can lift on shift, but thats during our lunch break (which is fine by me, as long as I can).
We have Sig MCX’s and Benelli shotguns in every patrol car. We do the regular qualifications twice a year, rifle familiarization twice a year, active shooter training with simunitions twice a year, and defensive tactics training twice a year. And we even have a work-out on duty policy (only when we have more than minimum guys working). I guess I shouldn’t be complaining
you can lol all you want but in most populated blue states, it's even less. You can't imagine the retardation that goes on
Actually it is because people who have never served a day in their life love to tell cops how they should do their job and don’t understand that there are laws and rules and regulations that we have to follow. If you don’t believe me, go do a ride-a-long with a police department and see for yourself.
Not true at all. I welcome criticism and I enjoy helping out the public. There is a difference between criticism and good recommendations that we receive from the public from the ignorant and dumbass suggestions.
Clearly you missed the part where I said that we DON’T enforce the laws that are unconstitutional. But you just hear what you want to hear, even when it is clearly written out.
OPSEC? You mean take hot rifle, line up crosshairs and pull bang switch to kill the dog. Oops, civilian bad guy. Mother fucker I do that every time.
served? see, right there you did it. You didn't serve shit, you're a fking civil servant and you work for you constituents. You want to THINK your job is special, dangerous and the like but it's not. 99% of all cops will never use their gun, 98% will never even draw it.
lol no I don't need to any of that given my household
Oh boy, now you are going to be petty because I said the word served when it counts to LE. I proudly served 4 years in the military and I’ve proudly served my community for 23.5 years. Use whatever words you want to, but it is all the same to me.
I can tell you for a fact law enforcement in New York doesn’t have to follow the same stupid ass gun laws! Can, sbr, and high capacity magazines, they can have it all.
Jesus Christ. And people wonder why LE gets their own forum to discuss stuff
NY is special. My AR’s all have pinned muzzle brakes/comps, pinned stocks, and 10 round mags. We are not allowed to have any of that stuff just like everyone else here in NJ.
Please tell us how many crooked politicians you’ve arrested. Ya know, since laws and rules must be followed.
Respectfully, but no. Until Qualified Immunity and Civil Asset Forfeiture are no more, it is very much not a case of "on the same side", it is "rules for thee but not for me".
Did it protect the uvalde officers from being sued for willfully neglecting the lives of children? Honestly curious. I understand the predicament, as we are in a very litigious society, just wondering if the issue is not as simple as you put it.
