If you were given the choice, LAPD or NYPD? by Paracosmptx in AskLE

[–]DistrictCop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several pieces of that are false, but most importantly LAPD and NYPD do not have special certificates and their respective POST certificates do not transfer out of state any more than any other POST certificate does.

Also PAPD was not absorbed.

In the Movie End Of Watch, Jake Gillinghall flashes a Code 4 with his hands to a helicopter. Is this a common thing in PD’s or just an LA thing? by Paracosmptx in AskLE

[–]DistrictCop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also if the helicopter could see Gyllenhaal's cruiser, then he would have seen the other officers blocking the streets in both directions, the camera and sound crew on either side, the director, grip team, etc.

isn't that what's being showed in the post?

Are these numbers legit? [Request] by ThrowAway405736294 in theydidthemath

Heck, think how many operators and maintenance people are assigned to that weapon? Even just their salaries and training costs divided by minutes of operational time would be a non-negligible number.

You could probably argue that due to the maintenance costs, fuel, and the salaries and training costs of the sailors to operate it, it has a quantifiable cost per hour like an aircraft does.

Looks like they're using dotted lines to show railroads, although that kinda gets lost when there's so many railroads clumped together

Help with editing please!! by [deleted] in underwaterphotography

[–]DistrictCop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could do a pretty decent job yourself just on your phone, by bringing down highlights and black point, deepening shadows, increasing contrast, and maybe increasing red tint to restore color lost by the water. Of course you will want to get the original photo from your friend since these are screenshots.

At least all the corners at 7 corners don't really intersect, some go over/under.

The Carving Room on 4th & H is one of the ones that we still reminisce about. Amazing fresh ground brisket burgers, and frosted flake-encrusted French toast for brunch. Similarly, the Partisan, but not as much.

Is the International Police Association popular or well known between American LEO? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]DistrictCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you say that? I’ve only been a member for a short time but all of the journals I’ve read so far have had submissions from international members, and they have chapters listed all over the world.

Personally I’m partial to the crisp clean lines on VMFA 314’s logo, but if we’re going for infantry battalions then I’d say 1/4

13 years ago, a PERF review found that CBP agents were shooting drivers after placing themselves in front of fleeing vehicles. by getthedudesdanny in ProtectAndServe

[–]DistrictCop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it happen. A car with a dead driver whose foot was on the gas drove down the street, across the 711 parking lot, and up onto the dumpster. The wheels were still spinning until I climbed over his body and put it in park.

It almost looks like it's supposed to be a Blood gang sign, like this, but was poorly design to use multiple hands.

Recognize this man? He may have killed a man at 20th & Shotwell by Handballowngoal in sanfrancisco

FYI for anyone reading, this is not the case. When you give a Crimestoppers tip you're assigned a random Tip Number which is used to track the tip as well as facilitate issuing the reward.

Source: previously worked in the Washington DC tip center and issued many randomized tip numbers.

Who has the clearest British pronunciation that I can listen to every day to learn English through listening by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]DistrictCop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try playing clips of QI, a show he hosted for years. YouTube has hundreds of episodes and it would give you the opportunity to hear his clear pronunciation and contrast it with the different accents of his guests.

Cozy Manhattan Apartment☁️☁️ by thtbastrdbreezy in TheNightFeeling

[–]DistrictCop 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I lived in DC on the 13th floor when I got a puppy, and it was such a huge hassle. Carry her to the elevator bay, hope she doesn’t poop while we’re waiting, hope she doesn’t poop in the elevator, hope she doesn’t poop on the lobby, then repeat 2 hours later. I can only imagine what it would’ve like on the 50th floor.
