I just walk around New Orleans with a handgun. Tapping the trigger kinda absent-mindedly whenever I want to cut in line for a hot dog or whatever really works wonders.

Hm, okay. Don't take this the wrong way, wasn't there a whole narrative on how people carrying could just take on these terrorists? Come on, dude, don't just give up your gun to the cops, what was the point of having it in the first place? Would he have surrendered it if he was white? This is all very confusing.

I legitimately tried to keep my kid off the interent. I asked all my family when he was born to not put his pictures up. I made a private snapfish that I kept updated for the people who loved him to see.

This stoped NOTHING. I beged once they started going up, I tried getting mad, I tried messaging facebook to take them down.

Its IMPOSSIBLE, and people have no respect for those who wish to have a small internet footprint for their child.

Then last week, at 4.5 years old he started asking to make his own youtube videos after seeing kids do unboxing videos on their toys. I lost the battle and my wife removed the restrictions on the family.

When hes 25 and his entire childhood is on the internet like that jim carry movie I wonder what his opinion will be.

People posted pictures of my kids that I didn't want posted and refused to take them down. I reported them to Facebook as pictures of my kids and they were instantly taken down by Facebook and the user was threatened with potential legal action if they reupload them.

Yeah it turns out untrained idiots with like 3 hours of shooting range time aren't mentally able to handle actual combat. Egg on our faces.

I always thought they were supposed to have fitness tests and psych evaluations regularly. And yet it seems like a disproportionate number of cops are just fat bullies with complexes and guns. Its like these forces don't teach discipline either.

that guy was smart enough to know that a black dude carrying a rifle had zero chance of leaving that protest alive once the shooting started.

If he was white he probably would have been OK to keep it because cops would have at least hesitated to shoot an armed white dude. Not a black guy though.

i don't think they do because there are some seriously fat cops around here, I saw a guy directing traffic that had to be every bit of 400lbs

if you really want to be a cop the #1 qualification is being able to pass a polygraph test about how much weed you've smoked in your lifetime

I know a vet who applied to be a cop. He had dated a girl that was 17 that turned out to be the daughter of the police sergeant. He still got hired after he disclosed he had hosed an under age girl.

Low standards for recruits probably means lower pay I guess, cause beyond that there is no real reason why you'd actively seek the bottom of the barrel, and that is accounting for the fact that lots of departments require a bachelor's degree now.

2016 keeps outdoing itself to see how bad it can get. And we've still a bunch more months left, the election, and the Rio Olympics!

It is so you don't get bored instantly and quit after they pay to train your rear end. Because being a loving cop is so dull you kinda have to be slow to handle it. Or at least that is the company line.

when i was 16 i worked with a guy who thought cops were the poo poo and would go talk to them on the clock (read: annoyed the poo poo out of off-duty cops) and wanted to be a cop when he grew up. he was highly mentally unstable and prone to violence and he ended up getting fired bc he would throw temper tantrums n break poo poo. he was also dumb as poo poo but thought he was smarter than everyone else so he would talk down to you while u were fixing the poo poo he broke it was p incredible

"If someone is shooting at the police, the police are, generally speaking, going to be authorized to eliminate that threat by shooting them, or by stabbing them with a knife, or by running them over with a vehicle," Stoughton said. "Once lethal force is justified and appropriate, the method of delivery I doubt it's legally relevant."

fuckin drones are coming

why couldn't they just use some kind of knock out gas? it has a chance of killing, but im sure less than a bomb
