My final thoughts are, pursue when absolutely necessary for the safety of the public. Public safety overrides your desire to catch someone for speeding. I know this is a double edge sword in regards to policies of no chasing probably leads to more runners. I've seen plenty of straight idiots leading police on 5 county 110+ mph chases all for a simple traffic violation or minor warrant. The folks who do this aren't smart criminals, they'll be caught very shortly, don't put my family or loved ones in danger to keep up with them at very high speeds in residential areas or busy highways. If you're dead set on pursuing the runner, end it as quick as possible. Don't chase them for 1/2 hour at high speeeds only to finally PIT them at the end. More cops need training/permission to do so, otherwise, don't pursue unless aboslutely necesasry. I appreciate cops. Have a few good friends that are cops. You couldn't pay me enough money to do what they have to do day in day out. That said, they are human and have egos and there are a lot that shouldn't have a badge. They don't engage their brain and take everything in prior to pursuing like in the above video. Have seen a lot of departments that have 'don't chase unless' policies and they back off after getting the plate. Half hour later they are found wherever because they are stupid and get arrested.

Cops are supposed to be the responsible ones here. This isn't Nam'.

In a lot of the situations yes. Simple speeding/fleeing. Shoplifting. Expired tags. I could direct you to about a thousand chase videos showing it. So if its your daughter that gets plowed into by a cop, you're good with the result? Got a dope head off the street for 24 hours. Probably worth it.

I've watched way too many pursuits on youtube. Some of them are just plain stupid. If you aren't chasing someone who killed someone, it ain't worth it. Would you feel its justified if they (the cops) killed one of your family in the process to catch a shoplifter? Most jurisdictions are getting much more regulated and back off if there aren't big time assholes being chased but shit still happens. Also, watch the ending when the cops run up on the assholes. 50 different conflicting commands screamed by 3 different cops at two different people. Watch a lot of 'cop debriefs' by cops and there and they say it all the time, it ain't worth it in most situations.

I prefer the braided leather JCPpenny bangers

The one that fits and is functional 🙂 Gotta try out what works for you and how you dress

She's a PHD professor type..... Sorry. She is a paid instructor & PhD candidate at Columbia studying "theories of the imagination & poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens"

I had a VERY similar experience with my vision appointments. VERY shitty part of town, in a residential area, random house with basically a nicer shed where the garage used to be. Walked inside and dude had all the latest and greatest eye gadgets. Super nice guy who left the VA system for the same reasons as per him

Well, worked for me so mileage may vary

Man, I've read so much on the U2 and SR71 design, history, and ops but shit is still crazy. I hope to god we're innovating like we did in those earlier years.

You have a rosy outlook on violent encounters. We aren't dealing with redcoats vs. colonial army rules of war either.

Grab a 'plastic' gun and smash yourself in the skull. Tell me how it turns out. Also, obligatory quote

I don't know how you guys have the energy

I'm not worried about the fines. Its a general decay in the company since I started with them back in 2003. It was nice to have overseas for insurance and a military 'friendly' company. Since then the products and customer service has plummeted. If I can have my money in one location it makes it easier.

Wow. Nice. Finally getting rid of USAA totally

Looks like Israel was just fibbing about waiting until after passover. Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facility locations just happened.

He's saying his data is from young Army troops who were probably snorting it. Done many a charlie round up to FOB/COPs picking up joes who overdosed on a myriad of everyday supplements.

Army straight pays their folks for them. This is dumb.

Biden says 'take the win'. Despite it taking the weight of the US and other militaries to knock down the great majority prior to the waves reaching Israeli airspace.

Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think any of these guys are running around screaming about them being an ace.

Send John Clark

I would venture to guess that impact points are factored into what inbounds are hit. Prioritized.

I was saying the same thing sitting in the vault for the Al-Assad attack. "no way they do it" 🙂 Never again

Shaed drones, LACM's, and now ballistic missiles enroute

I can think of a thousand random courses that the Air Force makes guys go to that are worthless. If a guy/gal thinks they can get through it, I can't think of a better use of time/money for someone who is motivated and wants to do it. It's the military after all regarldess of service. Spent some time up at Dahlonega working spin up with some teams. Stayed in the cadre dorms and hung out at the instructor bar there. Was a great time. One of the school candidates asked us at chow one morning if we could go find a replacement leatherman for him as he lost it and was going to be in a world of hurt. Said he'd pay us $50 for our trouble 🙂 Quick trip downtown one night and got him his $13 leatherman. Hopefully he made it through.
