I took issue with the poster implying that killing badguys is their job. I said it was part of their job. But the issue is that it is tangential to their job. In fact IF there's a way to do it without a death, that should be their job. |

You know what....
Fuck it... I'm changing into my fucking SRT uni. That will make me want to go out and tear some shit up... Civil rights? NOT WHEN I HAVE CARGO POCKETS!!!!! I'm not puttin anything in there either...I may not even button that shit up, just leave em open for everyone to SEE that I have ....FUCKING CARGO POCKETS !!!!!

Why the hell do you coperators need these "trauma kits"? The public would have a way better perception of you without these "trauma kits".

I carry one trauma kit up front in my cruiser and one ony active shooter vest. I also carry those scary CPR sheilds. You took that as serious? In fact, if you must know, I even talk to the local departments' SWAT teams about trauma/IFAK kits. When I first brought it up I was shocked by the lack of medical gear. |

I'm ok with it. Firemen used to wear rubber coats and boots. Now they are covered head to toe in Nomex, and have a scary mask that makes uninformed kids scared because they sound like Darth Vader.
Education is key. Teach your children that under all that gear, there resides a (98% of the time) man or woman who will sacrifice a lot to run towards something that everyone else is fleeing from. I know last time I went into a house fire, I was damn glad I had my "kit" on me. |

I'd like to see what the general accepted definition of "militarization" is here on ARF. It all starts with those cargo pockets. Then they want those "spray-n-pray" assault weapons. Next thing you know, they're marching people into internment camps. Only makes sense to stop it at the "pockets" stage. I've seen the train cars and plastic coffins! How've you been man? Haven't seen you around. Busy as hell. Tis the season. Going to be in the ham for 2 days this week for some gunshot trama training. Sure wish I had cargo pockets to tote my trama kit in Fascist Damn busted. Well I'm off to practice my goose stepping. |

Actually as a LEO I dont feel better when you have "Bad Ass Toys". I would feel better if all LEO's had better training on the "Toy's" either bad ass or non bad ass. Careful, logic is not allowed around here. This is the true answer but people are too hung up on cops with pockets and their rifles not having wood grained plastic to get to any sensible discussion. You've at least tried to entertain a serious discussion. I appreciate that. |

In fact IF there's a way to do it without a death, that should be their job. If a police officer employs deadly force to stop a threat I generally don't give a flying fuck if the bad-guy lives or dies. Part of what they do involves activities that can kill bad guys. You can parse it any old way you want but the fact is police officers may to have to employ deadly force at some point in the carer, and that deadly force can result in...well....death. When that time comes I want them to have the best gear and training possible. This stops the threat quicker, reduces the threat to innocent bystanders and could very likely save my life some day (god forbid). If said bad guy dies so much the better. If said bad guy lives, patch him up and take him to trial/toss him in the clink. If said bad guy turns out to be a good-guy then the police officer has a whole lotta questions to answer and could face his own charges and trip to the slammer. This all strikes me as common sense. YMMV. |

Quoted: No LEO should be allowed to own, carry, or otherwise possess anything that is illegal for Joe citizen to. No exemptions period. In places like NYC, Shitcago, and CA, cops would be nothing more than meter maids with rape whistles. In Texas cops could only CCW. In VA they if they want to walk around OCing their pistol and AR15, have at it. If you're worried about this rule having an adverse affected on LEO saftey, repeal your shit gun control laws. I agree with this plan. |

Major troll thread with lots of fuck but I'll play.
When I started my career in 1992 the "old guys" then used to wish to return to the "old days". Guys that had been around since they got back from Viet Nam. Guys with no education beyond HS wanting to go back to the "beat and release" days when you could "straighten out" some Adam Henry who didn't know how to keep their mouth shut. When there was no video or audio recording devices. When shit heads in a car couldn't get on their cell phones and call their mommies or their homies when they got pulled over. When many LE rolled with full auto Thompsons, M1 and M2 carbines, lever guns and 1911s. Hell, I've personally listened to stories from guys retired from Chicago, Columbus, Gary, Cleveland and other places that if done today would result in charges. Yeah, most LE would probably trade their AR, helmet. gloves and what ever to go back to no video, no audio, no cell phones, a Tommy gun, a 1911and lots of empty space to put the bodies. The question is, would you? Complain about cops all you want, when your kids school or your wifes place of work is getting shot up, there will be some JBT running in risking his life so you and yours can get together and smoke some weed this weekend. And he will look however his admin lets him. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Bohemia_Lodge Think the "ambush" of Bonnie and Clyde would be viewed a legal today? The Little Bohemia shootout involved hundreds of rounds fired, and 3 people "gunned down" by the FBI "acidentally". No LEO's charged with any crimes as a result of that, would it work the same way today? |
