SUPREMES STRIKE DOWN POLICE CELLPHONE SNOOPING

[MidnightRider]

 

My apologies, must have been Junior.

 

Regardless, you thinking that legally carrying a gun down the street is still a problem. What is your solution?

Again. I never said it was a problem. My issue with your statement is that you want to ridicule people for being afraid of seeing someone walk down the street with a weapon in their hands. Maybe that person is harmless and just expressing their rights. maybe they are psycho and looking to open fire on a crowded street. Since no one knows the intent. It's not wrong to pucker up a little. They don't need people like you calling them names while it happens.

 

Damn. You did it again. BRI's scenario NEVER mentioned the weapon being carried in someone's hands. It was strapped across his back. But you already knew that because I called you on it previously. Yes, my reaction would absolutely be different if someone had a weapon at the ready and looked a bit sketchy but that was not how it was laid out originally. You seem to be stuck on that though...

I use the term "in their hands" to define carrying it on their person in any capacity. Because in all reality if a sketchy person was walking down the street with the gun strapped to their back, I wouldn't feel any more comfortable than if it were physically in their hands.

 

But whatever, you calling people cowardly sheeple was the area I had a problem with because it was an ignorant statement.

So, basically, this is all some pissing contest about how much awesomer you are than a cop because you are/were an "operator?"

 

Here's your cookie. I also +1'd your post so you have a meaningless internet bonus point, too.

 

 

 

FYI - my mom was an "operator" when you were still crapping your diapers. If only she were online, we could give her a +1 too. Darn all the luck, huh?

Show me where I ever claimed to be an Operator. Just once. Please? You can't, because I didn't.

 

 

So... are you? Or were you?

BRI,

Dude, you can justify your ramping up of weaponry as vehicles all you want. Fact is, since 9/11, LEO all across the country at all levels have been in a frenzy of militarization. Do you deny that?

 

And as far as your comments about MIL dudes f#cking up, of course they do. The HUGE difference is that we police our own. You all pull up the Blue Wall and never publically ridicule the jacked up actions of another officer. Other than the dude in TX whom posts his disciplinary actions on Facebook, I have never seen it. It's ironic in this case that you mention the actions of a few. In my experience, the silence from your side of the fence once Thin Blue Line is in effect, is deafening. Show me some cases where an officer publicly called bullsh#t on something a fellow officer did.

 

Take the idiots in CA who lit up the two paper delivery ladies, mistakenly thinking it was Dorner. Oops, turns out it was two women in a pickup delivering newspapers. Those f#cktards got remedial training. What do you suppose the charges would be for me? Prison, that's what. Too many of your kind operate with impunity and citizens are injured, mamied and killed all the time becuase of it. All becasue of absolute fear, lack of training and the "I'm going home at night, no matter what" mindset (see example above).

 

Until you (LEO at all levels) realize that you are a major componenet of the problem, we'll continue down this road.

 

While we're on the military theme, I noticed in another thread that you were an "Operator." AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. You most certainly are, or were not an Operator. Just becasue you jocked up/played dress up, stacked up and kicked doors does NOT make you an Operator. Sure sounds like you want to be one though. Thanks for furthering my point.

So now you want to get personal, okay dude, that's usually what folks like you do when they are running out of argument points. Get personal hero, it's your world the rest of us cower in your shadow. I served on a SWAT team with former military personnel and none of them had the attitude you do. Congratulations on saving the world buddy.

 

How did I make it personal? It's too bad you feel that way but If my identifying a certain mindset of a group of individuals is "making it personal" then I don't know what to tell you. Oh, and I'm no hero, just somebody calling b#llshit where it's due. You self-identified with a term that is reserved for a very select few units/men. You are not a member of those units or you would know better than to toss that term around so casually.

 

Not sure where you were going with the whole "cower in your shadow" came from but that's just ridiculous. I don't think I'm some bad-assed super hero running around saving the day. Paint me as whatever you want to though so long as you can keep detracting from the fact the the militarization of the Police is out of control.

 

Watch the vid lo country posted. It's a parody of all the "Operators" running around out there now. Maybe that will help you understand.

 

Edit: Why didn't you just ID yourself as a SWAT dude and leave the Operator part out? OK, I just re-read muy post and I can see where you think I was getting personal. My apologies if you thought the terms applied to the fools in CA were meant for you. They were not. As for the operator part? That point still stands.

 

Because that was the official title when I joined the SWAT team, entry operator, still is, don't care if you agree with that or not. None of the Navy Seals that were on the team gave a crap, none of the former special forces guys gave a crap, none of the Rangers gave a crap, none of the Marine Recon guys gave a crap. But, since you do I should change my terminology? Yeah, watch how quickly I do that, it ain't gonna happen. Now, if one of the guys I was on the team with wanted guys to not use that term I'd do that. Why? Because I share something with them I don't with you, loyalty. Nothing personal.........is what it is.

 

And your holier than thou attitude and opinion comes across as cocky and arrogant. I call a spade a spade and it comes across in your posts. You have your opinion and you're not going to change it no matter what, cool congratulations on that, I have mine as well and I'm not going to change it for some dude on an internet message board.

 

You prep in your bunker or whatever for the day that the militarization of the police force reaches its culmination. Until then all you have is your opinion.................

For everyone wanting to be an Operator, I have posted a link to how to accomplish this.

 

 

After you know how, you need to get in shape. Another little gem to help accomplish this.

 

 

For the record, the guy who makes these is a former Batt guy.

 

Not really safe for work.

Damnit, you beat me to it. All of his videos are hilarious.

 

I just wanted to say that Mat Best is awesome and so funny. I just watched his videos on his You Tube page for the last hour.

He is funny as hell. Some great stuff. Love the latest rap with MARSOC vs Green Beret. Thread Hijack over.

Oh, my bad. I didn't know we were the adding the variable/qualifier of "sketchy person." Forgive me, I must have missed that initially (in reality, I'm too lazy to go look but I'm certain that you didn't). Or, conversely, maybe you just didn't state such in your previous posts. Why didn't you just do that in the first place? If I saw someone I ID'd as "sketchy" doing anything, that is a game changer. Completely. Problem is, I don't remember you doing that in any of your previous posts regarding someone open carrying. If you did, my apologies and please point me to that post becasue I damned sure missed it.

 

Oh, and it sure did take you a lot of posts to define "in their hands" as "carrying it on their person in any capacity." Forgive me for not making that "simple" leap in logic.

Not pertinent to this discussion. What is though, is my assertion that LEO is militarizing at an alarming rate. If you don't see it, I can't help you.

 

And way to "moderate" with your smartass comments to my legitimate concerns, regardless of how they are conveyed. Stay awesome!

When you're denouncing BIGREDIOWAN (absurdly, I might add) for calling himself an "Operator" because that's the term people with real-world experience called him, it's definitely pertinent. Because if you aren't, or weren't, you're nothing but another internet blowhard. If you are, or were, and you're pitching a fit over his use of the word, you're an elitist idiot.

 

 

 

Just curious which category you fell into. But I totally understand why you punted on the question.

[NUpolo8]

Good lord. This escalated quickly.

[teachercd]

This is painful

[Moiraine]

Problem is, I asked people some very pointed questions in that thread that nobody seems to want to answer. You wanna give it a shot?

 

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would want to talk to you about anything.
