  1. If the legalities of the use of force justify this shooting, then copy. However, I judge in the "totality of the situation" that the feds shit the bed here. You all have your own opinions already, but hear me out, and don't compare me with the cuck-o-saurus also posting counter points. Why the officer pushed the woman the way he did, I don't know or understand. There very well could be a previous part of the video that justifies that and I just haven't seen it. To me it looks like an over-aggressive and unnecessary escalation. Pretti trying to help her up seems like the actions of a dude who had parents that raised him right. If I was walking on the sidewalk there I may have tried to help her up myself. I don't disagree with points regarding conduct whilst one is CC. Maybe there's something I'm missing in the video here as well but that same officer had a second chance to de-escalate by letting the woman be helped up and moved off the curb. Then the rugby scrum of trying to tackle Pretti...This many dudes not being able to subdue this guy without shooting him blows me away. Trust me, I actually understand it is difficult to do this when a grown man doesn't want to be subdued, but that's their ffing job. I respect the training some of you have to analyze the appropriate employment of restraint techniques in this situation. I lack that training, so does the rest of America, so forgive me if I think these guys look like monkeys ffing a football here. I read a report that the first shot might have been an accidental discharge. Accidental discharge or on purpose, idk which one makes them look more incompetent. I agree with all of the previous points regarding outside forces pushing for this, the state not working with the feds, and Biden being retarded. The government and these agencies probably couldn't play more into the hands of the insurgent planners unless they started doing the Nazi salute.
  2. Another reason for them to go sooner rather than later. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-admin-sought-redactions-key-china-war-game-report-warning-us-military-readiness-gaps
  3. Synopsis for those that don't want to watch a one hour video. Old British man looks up and to his right as he stumbles over his words blaming all the stupidity taking root in Britain on the American far left, all whilst using lot word when few word do trick. Russian/British version of a Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk combo explains to the saxons that American wokism has destroyed their culture worse than fire water destroyed the Indians. Their only hope being to elect Nigel Farage before the immigrants and the trannies take over the country completely.
  4. Naw man, I think those dudes got sick of opposing view points and retreated to their safe spaces. Or they created burner accounts because they identify as being pussies.
  5. I don't think you're going to find states that have the money/manning allocation available to add another sq of pilots/MX/etc. to fly a different airframe. I'm an expert by no means but I think the only way this gets done is by dropping the current mission at said base. Also, the bottleneck question wasn't what I was asking. This gameplan will open up more heavy spots in UPT, to be filled by AD LTs, so now you have more grads from UPT combined with this ARC Rapid Aviator Program (or ARCRAP). These two things only make the bottleneck at the ftus more acute. Even if you keep the number of pilots going to ftus the same as it is now, there is still a bottleneck at the ftu. If you hold guard dudes until you have a class of X before they start ARCRAP to help reduce the throughput to heavy ftus you're only going to make guard dudes wait longer which is a disincentive for guard units to fund this. All of this is easily solved by doing what AD already wants to do, which is sending all heavy dudes through a sim only course. No late graduations for weather or MX, and if you threaten the IPs correctly there will be no hooks. Thus, the ftus will know exactly when their next group of students are arriving, yet there is still a bottleneck..
  6. Who is paying for it Who is buying the iron What units are losing their current mission to swap to T-54s How is losing that current mission set/acft going to impact AD Who is training/qualing theT-54 instructors How does this help the bottleneck at the heavy FTUs Zero dog in the fight here btw.
  7. Have you asked him to stop being an ffing homo?
  8. This is a terrible idea for the CAF. Agree to disagree. From the article - "F-7 conceptually would provide roughly the same capability as a fourth-generation fighter." This statement is so disingenuous it's either from a boeing rep or a foreign actor hoping we'll be this dumb. An F7 would be good for BFM and out-n-snacks in the ARC. Neighter of which help us get ready for china. If you want to market it to the peasant countries flying F-5s be my guest.
  9. What you just said is* what the guade/reserve does, including the reserve units that teach IFF/FBF. They're high time IPs teaching guard/reserve babies how it's done. Bruh... The EX was also supposed to have a Sq replaced in 23. Don't drink the big 3 Kool aid. If all the guard/reserve units had to do was sit ONE and intercept Jim Bob in his cessna then sure put some Limas on a T7. The threat is far more advanced than that, and armed aircraft manned or not might not even been the answer. However, ONE is only a part of what these units do for AD. If you make them non-deployable AD will suffer. Not to mention we need them in the big fight. Guard squadrons aren't only getting F-35s because their politicians know how to deal.
  10. It doesn't take a black border with plaid clearance to realize taking, let's say 30% on the low end, of your guard/reserve fighter pilots flying combat aircraft and putting them in an armed trainer is a terrible idea. The majority of your experienced fighter pilots live in the guard/reserve, especially these days. Not to mention you'd have to have a two seat "F7" for this, since four eyes are the only sensors you're gonna have in an armed trainer hunting CMs with nothing but a heater and hope in your heart. If we're coming up with pipe dreams I'd rather we use armed UAVs (thinking loyal wingman-esque but not necessarily stealthy) for ONE missions (minus DV protection). Give the reaper guys somewhere to go after AD and let your fighter guys focus on the big fight. At least we wouldnt be putting two dudes with 4K hours between them in a go-cart to go play heehaw and the fuck around gang.
  11. So instead of having combat capable aircraft and pilots with many years and a few thousand hours in said aircraft, you're advocating to take those pilots out of their fighter and put them in a non-deployable armed trainer? I'm sure AD units wouldn't mind back filling the deployments these units wouldn't be able to fill. I guess we could send these armed T7s in as cannon fodder if the balloon goes up, since there wouldn't be time to retrain them back to the fighters they left. Costs and consequences for sure...
  12. Guard dudes leave for OTS with set dates for all required training from OTS to their MWS (usually). It's not a fast track, they just do all their waiting prior to going to OTS. There's definitely an argument to be made that some guard babies get passed when they wouldn't have made it if they were AD, especially on the fighter side.
  13. If the glove don't fit you must acquit! Am I right. How much $$$ you pony-up for the Rashaun Jones defense fund?
