A cop still exists on something awful in TYOOL 2023?

Here to report that's there's more of them but FOR SOME REASON they keep a low profile.

It was nice to hear from goon cops though. I agree on that. Branis was the bestest rural deputy.

You could very well be right i just didn't want to give in to hyperbole and say 100k lol

50,000 says city website. Jesus.


EDIT: actually it’s not as insane compared to NYC population and NYC also patrolling non NYC area. Similar to London’s Metropolitan Police and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police in size of sworn officers and support staff.

Here's the report
Dude said he was a West Point grad, infantry, special forces, 10 years in, 2 tours in Afghanistan, but no combat - because officers don't do that.
:psyduck:

That’s not precisely what he said since it’s not a quote. The Special Forces Officers, (if he was actually an 18A, like a green beret officer), generally are not the man in from the door first in a 12 man team, but they’re still very much in the situation. Especially with lower intensity of later Afghanistan, it would be something along the like of being in the vehicle as the other guys hit the compound, or being on the overwatch site or walking after the breachers.

If he was not an 18A but some sort of other SF support officer, like comm or personnel or intel or something, he’d similarly be just a bit removed from the doors getting kicked down, even by few hundred meters, but it’d be somewhat hard to not hear gunfire UNLESS he’s someone of completely removed role, and simply some sort of support officer on the logistics company in SF support or something and never left the FOB.

That’s really the only way to parse that that makes much sense.



Also edit; a real 18A would be present in many live fire exercises in extremely tight quarters, firing rifles alongside other green berets with and without suppressors, even if they’d somehow miss an actual combat event (which seems to be very hard to do if one went to Afghanistan as one).

So probably what Muhlump said.
