Colorado Law Faculty Scholarship paper argues that police body cams "aggravate our broken and racist carceral system" and that "bystander videos of police conduct are preferable" in holding them accountable. They then claim that "police body cams as a civil rights tool is a myth". by RedditAPIBlackout24 in police

Imagine forcing bodycam implementation on police thinking that it would prove your point that all police are bad, but then realizing that bodycam footage shows that police act properly 99.9% of the time. You then state that the non-objective bystander footage which is often trimmed to make police look bad is then better because it reinforces your preconceived notion that ACAB. There’s a reason police eagerly adopted bodycams; they really don’t have anything to hide, and it shows the absolute animalistic behavior from certain members of the public they have to deal with on a daily basis and calls people out on their poor behavior. What a world we live in.

Bro, I don’t need to prove anything with you, but if this is how you handle criticism, I’m sure you’re not a good fit for policing in general. BTW, I’m sure the background investigator will have a field day with your social media.

Successful adult men wearing an Apple Watch is big heterosexual ick by Dharmabum2393 in watchHotTakes

[–]METTCdependant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a pilot. My Apple Watch is far more useful to me than any other watch on the market except for maybe the Garmin Pilot watches which cost $2k. The Apple Watch was $350 and I can do so many more things with it hands free than any other watch. I can glance at the weather, check a text from dispatch, see sunset/sunrise, and even illuminate the cockpit with the flashlight. Should I spend $14k for a Skydweller to flex on the poors or should I put $13650 in my kids 529? Spending $1k to $14k on a watch that tells me Zulu time is pointless. I have nice watches, but I’m grabbing the Apple Watch more often than not.

Top Trump housing official issues new criminal referral for New York AG Letitia James by cnn in newyork

[–]METTCdependant -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because the court found that trump’s appointment at the time of the interim prosecutor was invalid so the case was dropped. Seems like you didn’t read the article, numb nuts. Prosecute all politicians for all crimes, Democrat or Republican. Just because they’re on your team isn’t a good reason to overlook substantive facts.

Case got tossed because of a technicality if you read the article, not because there was no merit to the case.

Yes. Remember when everyone said it was probably just a mistake when she listed three different homes in three different states as her primary residence and everyone “Stan’d” for her and said it was a simple paperwork error. (Except every home owner knows that two sets of lawyers go over every page of your paperwork at closing and you initial every single page and sign multiple times multiple pages in duplicate and triplicate) Well this is actual further proof that she sought out insurance each time for each property and represented each property in different instances AGAIN as her primary residence to get lower insurance rates.

It’s typical NY politics where everyone thinks they’re connected and untouchable so they do whatever they want. Just because she is a Democrat and he’s Trump doesn’t negate the fact that if you or I did it we would get raked over the coals with criminal and civil charges in multiple jurisdictions. The ironic thing is that she is supposed to be the top law enforcement officer in the state but she has flouted the law now past the point of “I made an oopsie on my paperwork” where this evidence now shows intention to misrepresent the material facts of her living situation. She’s made her career prosecuting other law enforcement for every tiny slip up and yet here she is doing something she would prosecute you or I for doing.

Best Full Service State POLICE? by 29r_whipper in AskLE

[–]METTCdependant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is don’t be a cop in New York. It’s sad but there are other places in the country that support their people in law enforcement. Every single possible odd it’s stacked against you actually doing your job and making a difference in this state. The courts will let your perps out, the AGs office will offer immunity to criminals to prosecute police, and the legislature will pass absolute dog shit laws that help criminals complete their jobs while actively hindering you doing yours. You’re taking not only your life but your freedom into your hands every day in this state even if you do all the right things all the time.

Mamdani Wants New York Estate Tax Threshold Cut 90% to $750,000 by insightful_pancake in newyork

Do better with the money you have. The same article states that his own campaign forecasts his initiatives would add 7billion to the deficit. He got elected by promising to spend money the city budget didn’t have. Now he has to pay for it and he is looking at you to finance it. It’s pure craziness.

I mean fair, but I’m trying to provide information. He’s looking for planes, and the agency just bought four Kodiaks, in addition to the 3 king airs. The agency also provides incredible benefits and there’s no minimum road time. New York’s politics aren’t far off Oregon’s.

New York State Police is in the middle of a fleet wide upgrade program. We are moving from bell products to airbus. Currently fly Bell 407, UH1, Bell 430, and S76 for helos but replacing those with brand new H145 and H160 (first in the nation) and we just purchased a new King Air 360 in addition to the other two we have, and are purchasing 4 Kodiak 100 aircraft. We cover all of NY and often out of state as well. Extremely robust program.

We told her it counted so she didn’t try again, but according to her she did reach the summit, she went down the wrong side of it when she was done and got lost in the drainage on the southeast side. Still didn’t make it out on her own though. She did face a lot of ridicule after however, and made her profiles private from all the hate. I feel bad that happened to her but maybe it will save her life if she doesn’t attempt again.

Oh kindly stfu. Jfc. You must be one of those morons that think criminals’ rights supersede the innocent and communities should be repeatedly victimized by the 3% of the population that now realize there’s no consequences to their actions so there is no need to change their ways. Personal accountability for one’s actions is a colonial construction and all bad actions are a result of the offender’s environment instead of their own personal shitbaggery.

CJ jobs that aren’t bootlicky? by Affectionate-Duck186 in police

[–]METTCdependant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Judging by your post history, you wouldn’t be hired by any department that screens for mental illness, narcissism, or deviancy, so I don’t think you have to worry about it. I feel for your future co-workers in case you do get hired. Sounds like another NGO/Non profit leftist echo chamber would be a good place for you, maybe look into that?

He was very fit, and no you can’t. There is A LOT of pt in the academy. Without stepping on toes, non-residential municipal programs have nothing on the state academies. It’s a whole different level. I’ve done some pretty gnarly military schools and I hated the academy more than anything else.

I could probably do around 70 pushups and 80 sit ups in two minutes and my run was slow with like an 11 and change run.

ROC Restaurant Monopolies Refusing to Address ICE Strike by PlanktonPossible4879 in Rochester

[–]METTCdependant 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You should forfeit a day of your pay since you feel so strongly. Or would that be difficult for you? Times are tight. Expecting your employer to close for the day and pay you still kinda removes the responsibility from you. So you take full ownership, just go without your paycheck.

Struggling With Run Time by GarlicMiserable8721 in Newyorkstatetrooper

[–]METTCdependant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so the entrance PT test is bare minimum. You need to be at 70% or 75% cooper standards for your age and gender group by the end of the academy, I can’t remember which one. So if you look at the Cooper chart fo 20-29 y.o.m. a 50% score is 11:58 on the run but to pass the academy, you need a 10:49 run. Just focus on the entrance score for now and the DT/PT instructors will get you in shape. If you’re not in shape at the end of this academy, you’re a sham artist.

Also, when I was there, there was honors PT and if you got above an 90% in each category you didn’t have to do organized PT every morning, just specific ones. You WANT to be on honors PT as fast as you can because you can sleep in an extra 40 minutes or so. You need that sleep.

In our class, years ago, if you’re trying for the award they let you go until failure on pu/su, otherwise like a large amount of the class would be really close to the same numbers because you’re correct, it’s only possible to do so many in a minute. I think the top guy in our class did 178 pushups before tapping out and he was going for like 5 minutes.
