The profession has changed so drastically that I pretty much spend my time avoiding doing it lol. I’m only still here because I am too young to retire completely and I really don’t want to start another career.
I have to address one point you made though, about the internal conflict. As I was...
Believe me, I’ve been considering it heavily. Since I’ve blocked a few members here this forum has become much more enjoyable for me. Other forums use moderation, this one you have to block.
You’re not an idiot for saying that, it’s entirely your right to hold that opinion. You’re just being dishonest in that you won’t admit you hate all cops even though everything you say makes it so obvious that even a 3 year old could see it. Have some balls man.
You really have to be doing this on purpose...
If said idiot blurts something out, or shows something to my camera, HE'S GETTING ARRESTED. Clearer? If they keep their fucking mouth shut and don't do anything stupid, I will proceed how I always have.
This is exactly what I said above, and it...
My answer above actually fully addressed any analogy you can create here.
You’re smart enough to know that you cannot back me into a corner. Re-read above without playing games and you’ll get your answer. You don’t have to accept it, I understand that, but the answer is there.
You intentionally removed the culpability of the idiot who caused the incident to re-interpret what I said. I know you did it on purpose, I’m not going to call you stupid. I expect the same respect.
I’d explain but its pointless, so cliff notes. If YOU put me in the position, I have no reasonable limit (I’m not going to address gas chambers and stuff because that’s just stupid). If discretion is available because YOU didn’t say or show something stupid while the camera was rolling, then I...
I couldn’t care less what happens if he runs into anyone else. I care about what is on the camera attached to my chest that you demanded I wear. I care about ME getting arrested/fired.
You can equate it to whatever you want. We’re not talking about proactive work here. This entire incident was...
The People demanded cops wear cameras, not the cops. Although now I 100% see them as more of a benefit to us than anyone else.
Discretion is still available, but the situations where it can be used are much more limited, and largely driven by what the civilian says in the encounter.
Over 10...
Got #2 today in NJ. A nice doe. I saw 5 deer. It was a hell of a tracking job to find this one, even though she really didn’t go too far. She went into very thick stuff so it was hard not to keep getting turned around. Then the drag out was about 3/4 of a mile!
Well worth it though.
Broken gun? Are you suggesting the cop lie now too? So not only risk job punishment, but jail too because some boob couldn’t look up the laws before he left the country?
There’s no discretion when a federal officer calls you to the scene where someone told them they had something they knew they weren’t supposed to have.
Nearly the exact same story just happened a few months ago in my precinct. The guy ended up with a ticket for the unregistered shotgun, that’s it. I posted about it here.
We always hear statements about horrible self-defense cases, but never examples. Every example I can think of in NY ended...
That’s the case I always use as an example of NY not being so bad when it comes to justified self-defense. There are states that are much worse. There’s an even better case from Newburgh where the guy was a gang member with a totally illegal gun who ran up behind a guy who was pointing a gun at...
Great article. Very evenly written, unlike most nowadays.
I didn’t know how many cases are currently pending appeal. That’s a great sign. As Heller guaranteed the right in the home, it’s only natural that licensing systems like NYC’s are ripe for being struck down. Why do we need permission to...
Am I the first deer of the season this time? ;)
I cheated lol. Hunted NC and NJ last week. I can’t make it to NY this week, but I will be out in NJ thursday morning again. I’m going to start hunting NJ again after a 10 year break. It’s so much more convenient for me. I can hunt the morning and...
The reporting, as always, is terrible and/or intentionally written to leave open the thought that the cop shot himself.
The perp got his gun and shot him before his partners caught up. Partners shot the perp. I’m just waiting to find out it the perp dropped his gun or tried to use it before...
I don’t deny my current motives, but it’s a distinct “group”. You’d have to understand and witness policing from the inside. Group 1 can never do what I do.
They’re the complainers at this stage of their career. We call them hairbags. Bosses hate them and treat them appropriately.
Group 3...
I disagree only because, especially nowadays when being a cop pays very well, there are lots of cops who start out that way from Day 1.
It takes years of experience and realization to become the IDGAF guy. The guy with enough smarts to do nothing in a situation but in a way that bosses and...
Group 3:
After all these years of trying, it’s obvious that most people hate me so fuck em’. I’m going to do as little as possible and only what’s best for me and mine until my pension is fat enough that I can enjoy an easy retirement of hunting, traveling and relaxing while everyone who hated...
You’re going to have to take it up with a DA then I guess.
Btw, it sort of goes both ways. I know of two cases, one in Brooklyn and one in Newburgh, where an otherwise illegal firearm was used in justified self-defense and the person wasn’t charged with the gun crimes. Actually the recent...
The concept is the simple part. Most cops will know the basic levels of a crime, then charge the specific sections when they are processing the arrest. The computer system actually walks you through choosing the correct subsections.
Besides assault and the larcenies, very few people I know can...
Cpw is cpw. That’s how we talk. I wasn’t trying to be specific to the subsection.
My point is that our legal firearms become illegal firearms if we commit crimes with them.
Damn, all joking aside, I can’t believe I never showed this forum’s legal expertise to my Brooklyn DA buddy. He’d probably have to be hospitalized from laughing though.
I can tell you that I don’t spend hours watching videos to justify my tactical approach to encounters. I definitely don’t ever wake up and say, “shit, there was a two year old thread this video would be perfect for!”
Honestly, you worry me. You exhibit signs of paranoia. I’m not the only one...
So is your perfectly legal firearm if used unlawfully.
If I am being assaulted and all I have available is a rock to defend myself, and my use of force is deemed justified, it wouldn’t have been a crime to have used that rock (or any other appropriate item).
So are shotguns, but you need a permit in NYC just to touch one. Maybe I’ll look it up one day but someone would have to remind me because I honestly don’t care.
I believe an order came out regarding stun guns being legal but not tasers. I don’t deal with that type of stuff often though so I’m not sure.
If I was to come across one involved in a DV incident, I’d just look it up.
The vast majority of gun control is enforced by FFLs. Not to mention, nearly every gun store I’ve ever been to has added their own nonsense to make it worse. I’ve had gun stores in NY deny me all kids of sales because I’m from NYC. They don’t even want to talk to us.
