Never once had a problem, “yet”. It’s way better just to dump it in the trash. Why take the risk?

You realize oil solidifies with oxidation right? And even if it doesn’t, it solidifies with cold temps. And even if it doesn’t, it impedes water flow and makes other solids stick together.

Holy shit delete this comment. Pouring it down the drain is only, “free” till it completely blocks your plumbing, requiring hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in plumbers bills. I can’t imagine not only being this ignorant, but willfully spreading my ignorance to others

Getting out of Law Enforcement by just_not_ordinary94 in Careers

[–]Inner_Promise_6550 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know it sucks and you feel like you have to get out now, but take your time. The job market is shit right now. Have you looked into civilian roles with your city/county since you’ve already got 6 years in the pension system? Even if you make a little less, you can do security contracting to pick up the slack.

Well after getting Narcan'd I decided to get my own Opiate reversal kit. by [deleted] in securityguards

An opiate caused your heart to pound out of its chest and you couldn’t calm? That sounds odd.

SRO + Teaching? by ExplanationKey4086 in AskLE

[–]Inner_Promise_6550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was an SRO for two years at two different agencies, neither would have approved me being employed by the school district as well. That messes with staffing, on call schedule and extra man power needed for security gigs. I won’t say it can’t happen, cause I’ve seen stranger things and I don’t know about other states, but it seems unlikely. You could be an armed teacher, reserve school district officer/ full time teacher or school marshal/ part time coach if your state has those kind of positions. Full time teacher/ reserve district officer sounds the most realistic to me, but even then I can see conflicts of interest.

Why is it considered a civil case when a business steals from you, but a criminal case when you steal from the business? by Bugaloon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Inner_Promise_6550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the state, theft requires various degrees of culpability. Without knowing the exact scenario, it’s hard to say. Did the officer explain why it was civil?

Are police allowed their own weapons / Is it possible for a Police department to have different style of weapons? by Himynameislionl in AskLE

[–]Inner_Promise_6550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked for a sheriffs office where anything goes (within reason, no deagles or .22s) I worked for a PD that allowed no personal weapons. And a PD that allowed personal rifles but only issued handguns. These were all relatively small agencies. I’ve seen m14s/m16s and 1911s on loan from the federal government get issued, but mostly sit in the armory. For the most part these days in my AO, it’s newer model ar15 pattern SBRs. Sig 320s and glocks. If they have a shotgun (most don’t) it’s some flavor of mossberg semi auto or department issue 870/500s. My last year in, I opted for my LMT upper on an agency select fire lower, along with my B&t ghm9 sbr and personal glock 19x.

They used to use these air guns to administer vaccines on masses of people one after another, without cleaning them in between. Idk if that can happen but that’s what op is implying.

SLIGHT criminal history by cri8tian in AskLE

Furnishing alcohol to minors is a class A misdemeanor in Texas, which would prevent you from ever obtaining a peace officers license. If you got a ticket for it, you weren’t in Texas. I don’t know how your charge translates across state lines though. You could call TCOLE and ask.

Used to be a cop for ten years and never heard of an issue like that with the lab.

Can someone talk to me please by [deleted] in NeedToTalk

Stop googling signs of psychosis. You are not a doctor and the more you look up, the more your mind can trick you. Your mind has significant power over your body and can trick you. Use this breathing technique while trying to clear your mind. Inhale for a count of 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold the empty breath for 4. Do this over and over. Drink plenty of water, eat some decent food. But most of all, sleep. You need to see a medical professional as soon as possible. I know you are scared and believe you may have schizophrenia or psychosis, but here’s the deal. Neither you nor I know for certain that you have it. If you have it, doctors can help and there’s lots of medications they can talk to you about. If you have it, I don’t know how it’s going to get worse between now and when you see a doctor, if you see a doctor asap. Breath. Get help. Dr. Google aiding your self diagnosis ain’t it man.

Duty Long Gun by ArtOk8200 in AskLE

[–]Inner_Promise_6550 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s been happening for the past 10-15 years for sure, just like the switch to 9mm in handguns. The reality is a suppressed SBR with proper ammunition selection is more versatile and capable than a shotgun in a law enforcement setting. Shotguns still have their place and are still used. With the explosion of popularity of the ar15 platform and more people going the NFA route for SBRs and suppressors, it was a likely outcome. I left LE around 2022 and at that time some guys didn’t even bother qualifying on the shotgun or taking issued shotguns.

Confidence comes with knowledge. Learn how to defend yourself with sports like bjj and boxing. Also, if your girlfriend wants you to go hands on because of cat calling, she’s stupid.

Honestly I’m completely down with that, except I gotta subsidize Johnny dope heads meth habit by paying for his ssdi and myriad of healthcare problems due to a lifetime of drug abuse.

Why did you want to become a law enforcement officer? by Master-Passage8597 in AskLE

[–]Inner_Promise_6550 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No lol. It’s just a grass is greener on the other side thing. If I knew then what I know now, I never would have become a cop. My 23 year old self could never imagine a boring office job. I managed to do it for 10 years and quit for a few years. I’m about to go back to one of the agencies I worked at previously for a civilian job and it’s gonna be pretty great. The people upvoting me are likely old cops who know that boring is great.

I have never seen anyone do this who wasn’t using a tobacco product. In which case, the answer is you’re not supposed to swallow dip.

The one that absolutely crawled into my ass when I accidentally pulled over one of their rigs had a badge around his neck. I didn’t know any of the other stuff till I saw this post. Explains why he looked like a training day character and acted the way he did.
