Does that mean all your derelict oil field workers are going to be moving to north dakota and turning that area into a bigger poo poo hole than it already is

Probably, yeah. If that's possible. Our rig pigs usually smoke crack. I'm not sure how that will mesh with your meth problem but I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Also just to rub it in - I smashed my finger in a gate last week and walked into a clinic, saw a doctor and had an x-ray all within a half hour for totally free. Didn't even touch my health insurance.

That is Bandidos support gear. Maybe he was plainclothes/undercover? Or could just be that the cops are talking with this guy. Weird that he still has his weapons on him after that poo poo show.

Yeah, I know I was just saying I thought the guy wearing it was a cop. I'm assuming from the context they're just talking to him but at first glance I was like wtf

I ran my mags horizontal on my gun side, because it made for more comfortable sitting. I always liked my spray on my off hand side. Makes it easier to switch back to non-lethal without holstering.

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.

Based on my RCMP experience, there is good and bad. More efficient in some ways, less so in others. The upside is that it reduces localized corruption (the agencies where the deputies are all relatives of the sheriff or chief) and it makes modernization much easier. You don't have individual CLEO's fighting against change when they're all part of a larger agency.

But your legal system is hosed anyways so how the hell are you going to have a national level law enforcement agency when you have state and federal laws cancelling each other out, and county level case law? :psyduck:

I don't know why but I had this dumb assumption that the days of violent methhead bikers were long gone, and that all that was left were old farts and wannabes. Shows what I know with the Waco shootout and never having watched sons of anarchy I guess :shrug:

I don't know about the states but up here the HA still run most of the drugs and strippers in western Canada.

They aren't dumb though. They delegate most of the street dealing and violence to puppet clubs and street gangs. There's no romantic rebels of the road. One of the last guys we dealt with only bought a bike so he could get patched in.

My first instinct was to say black name cause i'm ignorant, but then I figured it has to be an irish name, cause only the irish can take english letters and give them a totally different loving sounds. How does the name Siobhan have a loving V in it??

one of my douchebag wolf hunter coworkers is reading On combat by david grossman. Should I ask him how a book about surviving the mean streets of urban america is relevant to rural policing?

Ask him if he's played any video games because if he had, grossman figures he's already a highly trained killer so he probably doesn't need the book :v:

But really, that book is alright to introduce somebody to the basics of psychological and physiological responses to combat but Jesus Christ the ~*~*~Wolfhunters~*~*~ have built a loving cult for that dude.

:barf:

It drives me crazy that the courtroom wasn't cleared immediately when it became out of control. It's the same idea as a riot - you can't always negotiate and sometimes the safest course of action is to clear everyone out and disperse them.

Although the video looks good from that short clip, it doesn't sound like it turned out very well for them in the end.

Smaller company, less than 14 employees total and 5 of those are receptionists, 1 is a cleaning lady and 1 is a computer janitor. We push the whole OSINT angle hard. Very little in terms of expenses so the owner (my older brother) just pays us well to take larger work loads. On a busy week, like the period before Thanksgiving when retail hires heavily, I can do over 120 background checks on applicants. We do the basic criminal poo poo, but we also go on social media and look for flags, check references and even compile reports on each applicant giving the hiring manager an idea on what questions to ask them as well as which ones are more likely to fit the company's ethos and mindset better. For the ones I realize are going to be "no go"s, we have a Pass/Fail style marker to make it a little faster. You see a lot of people applying to work at places they've been convicted of trying to shoplift/rob before

This is pretty awesome. I had to laugh at this:

Booblord Zagats posted:

Because when I was an LPO, we used to serve trespass notices on all of our thieves. So we'd take their picture, generate a document, we'd warn them and they'd sign it, and then the document with their picture was posted in our security office. I had two different people come in and apply at the same store I'd caught them shoplifting at, and I got to give them a trespass warning when they dropped off their resumes.
