Just to be clear, I wasn’t picturing the range when I said I’d keep it. I don’t even consider the range “finding” a gun per se. I was thinking more along the lines of the woods, or just randomly somewhere.
Huge difference. Very few people in NY are liable to ever become victims of something like this. In Mexico, warfare-style shooting are very common. Like as in daily common.
She’s right. But step one is not to move to a failed state where open warfare such as what happened to her family is common. They could’ve stayed in bumfuck Arizona, Colorado or New Mexico where there are numerous sicko Mormon towns and had their guns too.
Forget what a word here or there means when taken by itself. The more important argument is the structure of the statement itself. It is clear and concise, but I’ll muck it up to make it clearer:
We recognize that the state needs access to a well-regulated militia, the people are the militia...
Problem is the vast majority of cops are exactly like that guy and everyone still hates them so why the fuck should the average cop care about this nonsense? Its just excuses to buck authority. Everyone wants one.
Sat all morning in NJ again. I saw 5 deer as I parked my car, got me excited. Sat in the stand for 4 hours... NOTHING. Walked back to my car only to see some dumb little doe standing there. I was able to drop my climber off my back, fish out my release, set my bow back up and draw on her three...
I'm constantly explaining stuff to her because she never follows along. :mad:
Thankfully we don't have cable anymore though so it's all Netflix shows now.
He had 30+ years of being known as one of the best and flush it down the tubes for one more bump. Became a Deblasio yes man immediately. I hope he rots in hell.
He participated in destroying policing in NYC. All we are now are targets, hoping every day to go home without losing our pensions to...
I was pretty much with him until he started talking about liberty. This isn’t a liberty issue. The only liberty he has in this case is the right to not shop at stores that do this.
Also, I‘m pretty sure it’s common practice to walk on by if there’s a line at the receipt checker. That’s what I...
Agreed, but as I said earlier, we don’t know how the actual situation unfolded. I’d want to know that timeline before assessing whether or not the escalation of tactics on the part of the police was proper.
We have “barricaded perp/EDP” procedures which look a lot like what you are proposing...
I have not made the argument that his capture was necessary to ensure government control remains intact.
I said that the crimes escalated as the situation unfolded and as that happened, he committed crimes that must be countered not to maintain the respect of government but to ensure further...
“Contempt of authority” is not the crime we are discussing here. Don’t devolve into posting like the idiots here. You’re not like that. Where in this thread (or the story itself) has “contempt of authority” been brought up?
A crime was committed that had a real victim (the store initially, the...
I cannot sit here on my phone long enough to make the intellectual argument necessary to explain why there is a world of difference between a cold case with no leads and abandoning a hot pursuit (actual legal term) situation involving a minor crime.
I can only state, unequivocally, that they...
This case definitely isn’t the cop’s fault, at least not the rank and file who carried out the operation. This wasn’t just a shoplifter. It quickly escalated to a chase and shooting. He needed to be captured. The problem lies in the municipality’s decision to fight him in court rather than make...
His point was that he pays me and I pay my union with his money. It was pretty clear. What other aspects of my life are owned by this poster due to his claim to my paycheck? Or... explain the point more clearly. Let’s not be intellectually weak in our discussions.
This is a strange case. Seems pretty cut and dry to me unless there is something we don’t know. When we break a door, even to save the actual owner of the house, the city usually pays without a lawsuit needed. I get that a door is chump change, but the point is they accept responsibility.
I...
It is going to be a complete disaster for domestic violence cases. We’re going to have to implore the victims to leave the household asap. Overtime will likely go up a lot though as multiple arrests of the same perp will increase.
I don’t believe that “can be trusted with a gun” was ever a litmus test for freedom from imprisonment, either here in the United States or anywhere else our system of laws has drawn from.
Maybe he was just trying to bring a gun to a knife fight next time. If the next clerk doesn’t have a gun, too bad! This man has the 2nd Amendment right to carry a gun to his robberies (or 4).
He should invoke HR218 to demand a red flag order or else return his guns. He doesn’t need a permit as a retire LEO.
Even NYC has finally admitted this and gotten on board. We used to have to voucher our guns if not accepting a NYC permit upon retirement. We no longer have to do this. They give...
Obviously she just wants money, but the concerns are valid regardless of her politics. The editors of The NY Post will very rarely agree with someone like her. But that was their point: this law is so disastrous that even a super-progressive who agrees with its premise is forced to admit that it...
One. That would have been the body count here. To what purpose? So he's dead, his supposedly stellar career is completely tarnished and the higher ups who are likely going after him win.
If it happens to you and you follow your own advice, I'd be impressed. Odds are very strong you won't though.
70?!? Our mandatory is 63.
Chiefs occasionally sue to try to stay longer but they never win. We do have a few people left I believe who won a lawsuit years back, they may all be gone though. It only pertained to veterans. The last Vietnam Vet from that lawsuit retired only a few years ago and I...
Your ignorance isn't your fault. Few outside of the law enforcement community know about it yet because they are hiding it. Technically, it's not even a new law: it was created as part of the budget.
Just google "NY criminal justice reform Jan 1" and start reading. You'll blow your top.
We've been getting a lot of training on it - or should I say "untraining". It's going to be really, really bad in the cities. Maybe I will be proven wrong but I keep telling people that THIS is one of those "culmination" moments that we have been waiting for. This law arose from the culmination...
Dude we have a monster bear on the cameras a few times. First time we have seen bear in 6 years. I saw a small one at a distance entering a corn field that borders our property a few weeks ago.
See what happens when you don’t deal with street crime anymore? Lol
My perps are all 100% ID’d now. It’s so easy. Well finding them sometimes isn’t, but we always know who they are at least.
