The homestation flying definitely gets monotonous especially when combined with the environmental aspects but its still involved flying at low levels through the desert and shooting machine guns often combined with other airframes and missions. Like Danger said though, flying was probably 20-30% of my week. Sometimes more sometimes less. The office jobs have to get done. To top it off, we pretty frequently were involved in real world rescues. There isn't a better feeling in the world that hopping on board your aircraft and saving someone's life.

Yeah, I live in a nicer area and I still only answer the door if I know who is on the other end by verifying through doorbell cam.

Shack This is one of my favorite follows on youtube. Him and lackluster.

Yeah. It's a fine line. If you're a cop, you have to go into basically almost every situation having a plan to kill/neautralize the person/persons you're dealing with because it happens. It happens rarely but almost on a daily basis over the whole of the US. On the flip side, you have a duty to not execute people without showing hostile intent. One way to do that is to not put yourself in those situations like this guy did. He was rightfully not standing in the doorway to catch a round through the door but why the urgency to get right up on the situation? It's monday morning qb'ng but its warranted if you are carrying a gun for the govt and are expected to uphold the constitution and all that jazz. There was no call of a gun, no actual violence observed and you don't even know if you're at the right place. Take a breath and get some distance. Race will get brought up in this of course, it had zero bearing and any person standing there in this poor kids shoes, whether white, black, brown, purple haired, or 90 years old would have been aerated by this officer. I would imagine he feels horrible and wishes he could do it over again but he's alive and breathing while the kid died at his feet.

Straight to jail. No warrant nor exigent circumstance. What the fuck. The Sheriff's explanation of 'not hiding' wasn't shown on the video. He was out of view until the very end. Anybody can shout whatever they want outside your door. Don't open that shit.

Would be curious to know if facetime calls are recorded somehow. According to apple, metadata is retained but not actual voice/video from the call.

Deputy Hernandez said he had two combat rotations to Afghanistan, but noted as an officer, he was not in direct combat

AFSOC SMA shot and killed by police. SMA was in his home, responding to knock at door, apparently no announcement from police, nothing seen out peephole so he rightfully went and got his gun. While coming back to door, police broke in and shot him. Bodycam will set the truth free. Happening too often. This is from the same department that had the cop who lit up the occupied police cruiser due to acorn falling from tree. He resigned and is able to work elsewhere. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/roger-fortson-us-airman-shot-killed-florida-sheriffs-deputy/

I see the idiot who was making monkey noises at the the black lady was kicked out of his frat and publicly ridiculed. Wish the same energy went towards holding the ones accountable calling for the destruction of a entire group of people. Crickets

22 minute mark is nuts

jesus

Where do you see they killed people? Fernandes Barbosa, of Deerfield Beach, was on felony probation for possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana. He was also facing two probation violations. Reed, of Riviera Beach, is an 8-time convicted felon, whose last conviction was on Nov. 30, 2016, for burglary of an unoccupied dwelling in Martin County. He was also facing charges of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. Montes, of Wellington, is a four-time convicted felon. He was born in South Carolina and was last convicted on Jan. 19, 2017, of willful fleeing and eluding in Palm Beach County.

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
