Maybe because it was probably a plumber carrying a pipe on his shoulder. I mean, it came from a Delta pilot. Consider the source.

Gen not maxed on his looks? Supported UKR too hard? Didn't defer any questions to the WH Twit Feed? ABC NewsA top US general in Europe abruptly removed from commandThe circumstances surrounding his removal remain unclear.

So LGA recently tucked the phrase "MANPAD alert" into a landing clearance, and nary an eye was batted. Responsiveness: Meh...its not that cosmic. Proactive measures cost $$$. I mean, the industry will do something...when they're told to do so. Till then it's on-time metrics and making the commute.

What's wrong with being a plumber?

Did you receive it back yet? I reached out to my flight med today which told me they just sent mine off. On IMR it still shows “pending specialty clinic” hoping it’ll be a quick turn!

Quantico

Like a Lackland, Paris Island, or Great Lakes?

I think the biggest problem is the lack of standardization of training in local law enforcement. Some states require local cops to go through their state academy, some don’t. There needs to be a more standardized process and I think there should be joint academies that train multiple state and local officers.

When an airline sends out anything to the pilot group, it is in the public domain well before 1/10th of the company pilots read the email. I doubt they'll ever say anything to the pilots about something like this unless the FAA mandates it.

I think it is a DIRECT relationship to training. It currently takes more training to become a barber than a police officer.

Not according to the pictures. Apparently he just took command in June though. In those pictures, he gives off the air of a 'dude' who wears tight pants, a polo, and leather shoes to squadron cookouts. Didn't know the 36FS was transitioning to Eagles.

The drop in quality of cops is a direct result of the defund the police movement. Not that the movement actually defunded anything, but it changed the atmosphere powerfully against cops. Ask the question: what sane person would sign up to be a police officer today? Understaff, underfunded police forces will be undertrained and overtasked with poor recruit quality. These events are the obvious outflow. Many here said as much back when de-fund the police first got traction.

I am absolutely SHOCKED there isn't more concern over this incident? It would be so easy to fly a drone packed with explosives into an airliner packed with people. Airline dudes, are your companies saying anything? The bad guys know, it is just a matter of time!

Gay.

Dude was probably coming back from day out shooting and grabbing a tasty burger and milkshake on the way home

A lot of them will resign in the middle of an investigation, which will allow them to say they weren't terminated for cause, and it also stops the investigation (usually).

I think as long as you're willing to buy a bunch of guns, which obviously most of us are, 5'7 is a cool round to add. I loved the pr-57 from Kel-Tec, and they have another cool gun that uses p90 mags. The round is finally catching on and unlike so many others, it offers something unique ballistically to add to the collection

How do cities not do a better background check on cops? That's insane he got rehired as a cop after a drunk hit and run.

Might need to break my ammo simplicity rule AGAIN and buy yet another round.... I'm guessing either he wears unusual clothes to hide it or he just keeps it in his vehicle. Looks like he's wearing a vest in the video, so that would make it easier.

Looks like he fucked up again. https://www.cleveland19.com/2026/06/16/former-brooklyn-police-sergeant-sentenced-jail-assaulting-handcuffed-woman/?outputType=amp

Drunk cop hits a guy. Guy chases him and the cops try to cover it up. Sickening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANcEOCfXun8

I have an internally suppressed SBR in 5.7MM, picture is back a few pages. It is a HOT round, I think the threshold says it is good to penetrate NIJ Level II and Level IIIA. I love it, compact and light. Made by a local guy (https://spartacmfgn.com/), who has a contract and is making a bunch for the Secret Service. He told me for the same weight of 1000 X 5.56 you get 1400+ rounds of 5.7MM. The interesting thing t me about the event was the length of that pistol...seems tough to carry concealed?

Guess we'll see how 2A friendly our current administration is with regards to an appeal. One thing I've noticed is governments HATE to give up power no matter who's in charge. Prosecutors like to keep statutes like these on the books to hold over certain defendants to coerce please deals.

More details are emerging about yesterday's drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport. According to WDR, NDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of the Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft parked next to the drone was loaded with military ammunition that had recently arrived from France and was awaiting onward transport, according to a confidential police report. Investigators say the drone was first seen hovering between two Antonov cargo aircraft before being forced to the ground by an airport employee, where authorities discovered the attached explosive device. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the drone entered the airport from the south at around 19:28, landed on the apron and remained there for several hours before being spotted shortly before midnight. According to Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, the drone was likely modified to evade existing counter-drone systems, which reportedly failed to detect it. Authorities are also investigating the second incident that occurred after the airport was temporarily closed. A DHL cargo aircraft was forced to abort its landing and reportedly collided with an unidentified object near the airport while traveling at approximately 500 km/h. Investigators believe the object may have been another drone. A bird strike has reportedly been deemed unlikely after forensic testing.
