Yes, but I see no supporting data in your link.

I cannot imagine doing what you do on a daily basis. A part of me still goes with the 'terminate with extreme prejudice' mentality, but then rational thought steps in and says that just makes me a loose cannon and a liability. And trying to keep it together mentally and treating the next citizen you see as a citizen, and not a threat, that takes some serious mental fortitude. Kudos, brother. Glad you're safe and sound. |

That really sucks but you're posting about it, which makes it a good day. Glad you're OK.

You gotta read the whole article. References are at the end. Quoted here to save your fingers from having to click your mouse.

I read the whole article, and clicked on many of the footnotes. Thanks & interesting stuff for sure, but I did not see a thing comparing crime in modern cities to the US expansion into the west.

I wish this tool was mandatory. I'll bet you'd be right about it alleviating some of the deadly force you would otherwise have to use. Like some others have said, like it's straight out of a movie. Pretty cool.

Maybe I've been working in the IT field with the mythical "sales guy land" where everything works and integrates with zero effort, but I am skeptical when the demo video focuses on people standing still or walking comically slow. I'm sure that it has a use in law enforcement, but would it be used enough to justify the belt space?????

I remember a number of years ago a TV news show did a piece on less than lethal weapons for police and military. It might have been 60 minutes, but just guessing. Anyway, they had a gun that shot a net, the Bolo, and a thing that looked like a military flame thrower that shot out a very thick glue. All very impressive when a reasonably compliant volunteer is your subject. Not likely practical to equip every scout car with though. The sad reality is sometimes force get's used and sometimes it goes badly. CEW is a good less than lethal option, but there are those who want it banned because of a few bad outcomes. How many lives have been saved because it was an option never seems to matter to the activists.

I tried once when I was a newbie here. I didn't realize how biased and unwilling to discuss the subject rationally he was. And how insulting he is when discussing firearms. Now I ignore him entirely. I guessed you wouldn't last long either.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
https://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/s....php?t=1753661 I would REALLY like to see this valuable thread continue, and implore everyone to keep it on topic. There is no longer a politics/religion section here.....

I agree with you. Attack or debate the subject, not the person. I also agree that we need to stick with the thread subject and try not to get too political. I'm as guilty as the next guy of doing that, but I'll try to be a good boy. |
