Even the local Denver News Paper wants Fat Tony canned. A VERY scathing article documenting the downfall of USAFA under his fat thumb. The U.S. Air Force Academy is on the brink of failure, here’s how to save it (Opinion)

I have no problem using the PIT in the right circumstance but sometimes you have to wonder what they are thinking. My wife and I like to watch On Patrol Live and sometimes they will PIT with on coming traffic in the way. Chasing a capital murder suspect ok I can see the urgency in that circumstance. PIT a car with oncoming traffic when the dude simply ran from a traffic stop...not so much. There is a very nasty case from Michigan when a state trooper was chasing a 15 year old kid on a four wheeler, he tazed the hit while he was driving causing him to crash into a parked truck, he died. Even more disturbing (and captured in the video attached), the conduct and comments of responding officers. Some covered their body cameras and other turned them off when they started talking about what happened. In this case the officer was eventually charged with murder.

Can you iamgine how he acts on a traffic stop when no one else is around and no national media looking at you?

True, but I'd still hit it.

I heard it was Ben Doverbich. I still have that one tucked away in the safe. At the request of the Air Force Museum it will go on display in Dayton when I fly west.

I agree cautiously...The younger generation is spoiled and soft...Iphones, safe spaces, remote work, and a general dislike of hard work has opened the door to uber progression socialist ideas that promise free everything. A lot of them voted in this last election to elect a self-described democratic socialist who is actually a communist to be the mayor of NYC. Even more troubling was the election of the Virginia Attorney General, a man who sent text messages advocating not only to kill his opponent but to put bullets in the heads of his children. Can you imagine the outrage if a mainstream conservative said such a thing? The fact that these shitbirds were put in office is a warning shot that the younger generation is looking for leadership and as of now they are finding it on the FAR left.

The only thing the shutdown accomplished was to destroy any remnants of the Old Guard Democrats. Nancy is retiring, Nadler is retiring, a host of others are leaving and they will primary Schumer. AOC and the other lunatics are now the norm and leadership of the DNC.

Amen... I am finishing this episode and I want to throw my computer out the window...utter fail by so many levels of NSW and DoD.

Continuing the theme of fuck the SEALs. Matt Bissonnette just did the Sean Ryan Show and tells some very unflattering stories about Obama, Panetta, McRaven and most of the NSW officer corps. Case in point, shortly after leaving the Navy he reached out to his former commanding officer for his help, the reply..."delete me". Discouraging to watch to say the least.

Interesting close up video out there now. From this snap it looks like everything fore and aft of the center wingbox is gone...AND possibly a few props.

Wayyyy too soon to know. Remember a KC-130 broke up over Mississippi a few years back thanks to a corroded propeller blade.

Arg - is sounds good in theory but the property owners always gets screwed. In short, rent control/freeze is a city program for qualifying seniors and people with disabilities, or a broader political proposal to halt rent increases on all rent-stabilized apartments. The NYC program provides a tax credit to the landlord to cover rent increases, supposedly making the rent payment stay the same for eligible tenants. A political rent freeze, on the other hand, would involve a decision by the Rent Guidelines Board to prevent any rent increases on rent-stabilized units for a set period.
