Do No Harm, Do Know Harm |
We could all probably do a thread a week and not run out, but here is my humble submission for the past week: Veteran officer, walking around with no magazines in his pouches. I ask him where his mags are, and he says he keeps them in his car, because he won't need them, and if he does, he will get them when he gets out of the car. I suggest this isn't a dependable plan of action, but he doubles down on his position. WTF? You can't make this shit up. This aint' exactly Mayberry...

Hell, we talk about Officers who are fighters, and Officers who are ammo carriers...what's that make this dummy? At least I know what to expect when he shows up...

Wait, this guy knows how his calls will end before he even gets out of the cruiser? He needs to buy a lottery ticket and retire yesterday! | |||

Doesn't sound too experienced for a "veteran officer". Hopefully, he won't have to learn the hard way. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

Is that sort of thing allowed by department policy? Can you point out what he is doing to a supervisor? ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

He may be a "veteran" officer but he is not an "experienced" officer. ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||

We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training. --Archilochus, Greek Soldier, 650 BC In this case, the lowest level of his readiness. This reminds me of the people who carry but never train or practice. They think in the heat of the moment they're going to smoothly pull that pistol & deliver a center-mass double-tap in .8 seconds.

time for a wake up call Mas Ayoob must have at least a half a dozen stories about people who ran out of ammo, he would do good to read them Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Hell, I resurrected an original Nintendo NES. Using the light gun from a holster (yes...I'm serious lol...) I can't consistently hit targets under .8 seconds playing Hogan's Alley.

In the old revolver days, I would see guys with bullet loops on their duty belts. This was bad enough, but the bullets were showing green mold. Well.... it was a simpler time. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
