Border Patrol mandated that for trainees. We had to leave that space on the offhand side in front free for OC spray. Once you're done with FTO though you can reconfigure however you want, so I moved my spray back behind my gun where my baton was. I like to have all the force options in one area, and that way all of it is hidden by my body when I'm dealing with someone.

Also, that is easily the fattest DPS trooper I ever saw. Holy poo poo.

I don't think it would serve the interests of local communities very well.

For all the problems people complain about with police accountability, it would be even worse when there is no local or state control over anything and instead if you want to file a complaint you call 1800fuckacop and wait 8-12 months for your issue to work through the bureaucracy.

And if current practice is any indication, absolutely NONE of those complaints would be dealt with without going completely through the entire process, no matter how absurd. So, the real complaints would be buried in a pile of bullshit and the fake complaints would likely be reviewed by some Washington careerist.

To be fair though, it'd mean better pay for a lot of smaller departments.

Not setting fire to things, looting stores, and not battling the cops definitely gets you preferential treatment. Also, only murdering other criminals.

I also hear that shoplifting gets preferential treatment over armed robbery. Obviously our biased system at work.

Why resign when you get paid the same whether you bust your rear end or sit on it? Every BPD unit should be sitting behind an abandoned building watching youtube until they get a call, and then take their sweet time getting there.

Oh, I don't think they'd actually do it, for just that reason, but I do think it would be awesome if a significant percentage of them just walked off the job and said "fine, if you think so little of us deal with not having us around." With a work slowdown, the same people presently complaining about their policing will just start talking about how they "Aren't doing their jobs" and "blue wall" and poo poo.

I don't think many cops are likely to actually give up their income just to prove a point, though.

I agree wholeheartedly. It would also make small departmenst able to keep decent people who aren't locals. Small departments like mine turn into academy farms that hire people for 1-2 years, pay to train them and then they leave for bigger places, so you end up always short staffed.

I feel for you bro. I started full time 10 years ago at 16.40 an hour and that was considered piss poor pay in Ohio. I don't understand how they expect you to work for the poo poo they're paying you.

it's almost as if 15/hr should be the floor for wages because it really isn't that much money...

:fuckoff:

:ughh:

Because giving people more money to spend without increasing the supply of goods definitely won't drive the cost of those goods up or anything. You're loving the guy that makes $18 an hour when you do this - his prices go up, you push him closer to the wage floor, and what little he does have eventually becomes just another "living wage".

In ten years we'll hear about how $30 is supposedly the new "floor" because it's "really not that much money" never mind that the wages for people presently making $30 or $40 won't also have doubled in that time.

You want to help people? Stop taxing their gas they use to get to work, their basic goods, and the booze and smokes they buy. Using people's needs, minor pleasures in life - or worse, their addictions - and taxing what little they make THAT way while pretending that cutting the income tax they already don't pay is helping them is truly low.

It's almost as if "floor wages" are a terrible idea that is appealing to people with terrible opinions because it's simple to understand. :ms:

You can see the drop-leg strap clear as day, holster extensions that put it down off the belt 1) aren't that low, and 2) don't have a strap.

If that's their idea of a drop-leg holster, what purpose does it even serve? It's supposed to put it straight under your hand when your arm is fully extended down. Lowering it 2 inches from a normal holster doesn't do anything, strap or no strap. It's on their hips, not their legs.

They're just wearing them high, some people prefer them there. Really the point of the drop holster is the put the gun lower than the waist so that a ballistic vest doesn't interfere with the draw. Try wearing armor with plates and getting your pistol out of a regular duty belt/holster.

If you say so but I'll be dogged if I ever saw them that high before. :shrug:
