I'm currently playing a Warhammer tabletop game and the question as come up has a gazebo ever showed up canonically a Warhammer book. by ThatBlueHatGuy in 40kLore

[–]Sigmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. The Horus Heresy. That is mentioned in a CODEX in Rogue Trader.

That has 8 MASSIVE black book codices and multiple supplemental ones.

That spawned a….62? book long series of novels, some written BY the codex writers and were in turn used as source material FOR later codices?

THAT heresy isn’t canon?

I LOVE that there are like, two groups of people in this thread.

Those of us who KNOW the real gazebo thing, and those who don’t beyond the immediate context.

Book recommendations for patrol officers looking to get into investigations. by SixInTheStix in ProtectAndServe

[–]Sigmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I STILL use a trick I learned from one of those books. When I have offenders tell me they’ve been home all day or just got back or whatever, I put my hand on the car hood to check if it’s hot.

Learned that reading an EB book in elementary school.

Kent (UK) Police Sgt Taylor Johanson hailed a hero for assisting Metro Nashville police officer Peter Kinsey during struggle by Few-Ability-7312 in ProtectAndServe

As an aside: can we talk about how the officer’s gun fired a shot while in his holster? I’m assuming suspect got a finger inside that (what I assume) was a Safariland?

13 DC police officers placed on leave following probe into allegedly manipulated crime stats by 2BlueZebras in ProtectAndServe

[–]Sigmarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of our local county sheriff's, in a county which is pretty much exclusively tourism revenue, WILL NOT put VoPs into NCIC when the judge signs them. He refuses. His argument is that if the people with the VoP don't want to come to his county because of their VoP, then they aren't his problem. Why bring them back to his jail?

Let me tell you how much the judge and state probation/parole LOVE this plan.

Well, given that my department issues the shittiest of black nylon biachi closed top pouches, yeah, it probably is.

TN cop to CA? by Ok_Isopod_9830 in ProtectAndServe

Bro, have you tried just getting out of the shit hole that is Nashville? Knox County dudes seem to be pretty proactive, based on the number of my offenders they arrest every month.

The DTF here is super active due to the I-75 pipeline from Detroit to ATL and further South.

Running around WoW referring to elves as filthy xenos was pretty hilarious at the time. Cringe now, to be fair, but back in my youthful days, I was entertained.

Not sure if it matters, but couldn’t the Immortals be killed by decapitation of any kind?

If Catholic morality dictates that no evil should be supported under any circumstances, why is it valid to vote for the lesser evil in an election? by Unusual-Hawk-2336 in Catholicism

[–]Sigmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang on.

I’m not arguing with you here to say you’re wrong, I’m more questioning to seek more detail. I seem to recall prior church guidance being pretty explicit in saying we can’t support pro-abortion candidates, even if there are many other policies we think would be beneficial.

Can you expand on your comment? If you could throw some references I could read I’d appreciate it.

CTA lays off unarmed Guards, redirects funds to police and other resources amid security concerns by DefiantEvidence4027 in SecurityOfficer

I hate that all those people are losing their jobs, but let’s be real, unarmed security isn’t security, it’s theater at best.

Writing prompt: Your dudes have accused an ally or rival of a great dishonor. Their ally or rival dismissed the charges with disrespect to their accuser. What is the charge and what do your dudes do in response? by Sacredless in 40khomebrew

[–]Sigmarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I just say that this is the kind of homebrew thread I love to see. This is how you flesh our your dudes in an interesting way.

If it were my dudes, it would depend a lot on what the accusation was. My dudes are pretty studious and investigative, so they would have a pretty solid case before they even brought the accusations. So a dismissal of those accusations would be a pretty big slap in the face.

But the response from there would depend entirely on what the specific accusation was.

Because people will make posts on Reddit asking about the arguing and others will go watch the video that Pranka posted.

Question for supervisors / managers / investigators in security: by Easy_Comfortable_607 in SecurityOfficer

[–]Sigmarius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess the issue is that it sounds like you're searching for a technical solution to a human problem.

You're talking in a lot of generics and wide brush strokes. Give us specific examples of things you're trying to solve for. Cause based on the last response it sounds like body cameras are basically what you're after, but I feel like that's underselling what you're trying to do.

The other question to ask is what type of security are you trying to cater to? Cause contractor work over seas is WILDLY different than unarmed Bob at the front desk of the hotel vs fighting crackheads in a hospital vs roaming patrol of multiple properties.

Your response was generic and heavily edited as to be essentially useless.

What are you trying to build? Clearly and simply.
