  2. actually tell me this you ever wonder why officers don't use their batons anymore ? like a good strike to the knee and bam he's going down.

  3. problem is it's called proactive policing. if cops just chased radio calls that would be 100% tiimes better.

  4. they want you to stay in your car to hinder your movement and mobility. it's all about giving officers leverage. meaning they should be in positions of superior vantage at all times.

  6. in the age of optics and instant 24/7 news cycle the old saying it's not what you know it's what you can prove is more paramount now than ever before.

  12. officers do the preliminary plate search in the database. they only react this way if the plates have warrants associated with it.

  13.  @sammcbride2464  I'm just saying from all the info I can find if it's just a expired tag officers would not lose their composure like that. When they run a wants and warrants search on the plate with dispatch or the computer and it comes back as warrant positive that's when they get nervous

  14.  @sammcbride2464  I never said they were angels you got large organization with lots.of personalities and guaranteed to have bad apples that skipped through the cracks

  16. he probably would've had a better chance if he was just using the carotid restraint hold.

  17. because police officers have rules of engagement in terms of how much force they can use. for example the carotid restraint hold is typically reserved for life and death situations taser is pretty high up there it's for suspects that are actively fighting you and the thing is really 50/50. it requires th prongs to make contact with a major msucle group and the two prongs hvae to link up. baton, if you use a baton you are not allowed to strike the head, neck or spine, or groin area. pepper spray is all but neglected now. most officers will never use actual marial arts moves like punches and kicks because the uniform and body armor is very restrictive for mobility so you will always see them uses some kind of restraint hold but these suspects are freakishly strong. shooting back of the head ... if you have top mount position you are to holster our pistol immediately. the police academy has loads of stuff to teach you in a short period of time , law, writing reports, drivng, self defense, shooting, radio codes, role play scenario drills etc. this is just to get you street ready. then you have to train for at least another year on the street under probation officer to be certified a actual patrol officer. and then you need another 5 years to actually get decent at the job.

  18.  @warrenx9737  you got something against carotid restraint?

  19. those gracie classes are expensive. and even the most biggest police deparments like nypd or ladp will just give you like BJJ 10 in the academy.

  20. rather be in a trial by jury of 12 than carried by 6.

  21. i think at this point they need to create those star trek phasers with stun settings and just drop these guys where hey stand for 60 seconds and cuff them.

  22. it's all about optics .

  27. police officers are forced to go out and look for trouble essentially as their entire day has to be logged from their start of shift to end of shift everything they do has to be logged in the book. the days of officers just driving around chillin or chasing radio calls is over.

  28. if you want to make it to your 20 year retirement... you will have to play it smart. actually any officer that has brains will get out of patrol at their first opportunity. i remember a officer friend of mine is first opporunity of transfer to say desk job or specialized unit... take it. gtfo out of patrol asap.

  29. the news would've swept it under the rug.
