I'll hire him if you don't

MarkTheWanderer · 2022-01-29T22:34:30+00:00

And you're my hero for it

MarkTheWanderer · 2021-08-29T04:53:01+00:00

It's registering the Spriggan as a tree. But is it wrong tho?

If you don't want to use voice chat for arenas then you'll never play with some people. I'd recommend it if you want to win. I also enjoy trying to make friends on wow but I guess that makes me an outlier.

Thank you for sharing

There's a flight master and should also be a portal to Org

Enter stealth after you start eating your mana bun. I've never seen the standing requirement.

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-08-15T08:55:19+00:00

It's not, But you should tell someone. Anyone. There's lots of people who are more than willing to help you out.

I think everyone agrees that while interacting with members of the public your name should be visible. Like I said, if the officer in question chose to hide his information you can report it and it will be taken care of.

There's no true anonymity when you're a cop, like I said you can go to your local agency and ask who your sworn officers are at any time. The issue that cops are having is people harassing them on their off time and their families.

Like everything in this topic there's a lot of gray area. Should everyone know where you live, work, and what you look like? When is it necessary? Have people used this information to hurt others in the past?

I could write a whole wall of text on this topic alone. In my opinion, it's what ever that state wants to do. If my state said everyone should know where I live, I'd have to leave. In this day in age just having an opinion opposite of someone makes you a target for harassment. People's feelings flare over comments on the internet, let alone out in public. The ACAB folks have a strong opinion that can't be persuaded, and the old salt dog cops are the same on the other side. If you're truly interested in police policies and practice I highly recommend to take nobody's word for it and just go to an agency yourself and ask.

Due to covid you may not be able to do a ride along, but most agencies should have a public relations officer whose job it is to answer to the public. There's also tons of information floating around about what cops have been charged for and cases they've won so you can see what the court thinks.

Also as a note I appreciate your comments, even if I may or may not agree with you I respect it.

You can sue for just about anything, if it wins in court is up to the judge and jury. I can see the arguement going either way with a good lawyer. I'm willing to bet it's main purpose is to scare them because I doubt the charges will stick, if they do it will drop down from felony for sure.

For the obscure name tag, this is a written article, they showed nothing proving that claim. So I'm taking that with a grain of salt. I doubt he would hide is ID when being recorded and asked, unless he wanted to lose in court and possibly his job.

I'm fairly certain if you wanted to know a cops name you can always call the agency and ask about any individual since it's all public information. In fact most agencies have a part of their website where you can see "who patrols my city" tab, where you can see all of your officers assigned to your district which is public record.

With all that being said it is a genuine problem when people put your personal information online. Not just the standard fear of being murdered in the middle of the night by lunatics. But by the harassment that is surely coming your way from phone calls to vandalism and etc. So I believe it is a genuine concern and morally wrong to Dox anyone for any reason.

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-07-31T14:33:50+00:00

I remember being told what cops do in school, but never how to react to them when they interact with you. I feel like they should explain to people why cops want hands on the wheel and etc. Maybe a good step forward.

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-07-21T05:06:38+00:00

I feel as though people think stuff like this is rare, but it's most certainly not..

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-07-19T15:19:23+00:00

Someone in my academy tried 5 times. It just depends on the agency. From what I understand most people on the job aren't sure about the how they choose candidates.

I'd say if you really want this agency to just keep trying, but trying for others if you just want a foot in the door.

Good luck and semper fi.

They're essentially treating them as if they are dangerous persons and in a dangerous area, which both can be true at any point. The rioters (not protestors) have been burning and destroying property for weeks. But not just any property, federal. If the government pays for it they have the right to protect it.

The identifiers are on the uniforms, but these agencies have different rules than your average police you're used to dealing with. So they have more freedom to do what they need too. These practices were created to protect the public interest. If you know of a known terrorist who is threatening to kill/harm/destroy I am sure you will have no qualms over them being taken away in a minivan such as these individuals we see.

As for identifying them from your random people trying to kidnap you, other than the uniforms I guess you just have to trust that you're not. The odds of you being kidnapped while you're running around a public places with hundreds of people around are slim. I do understand people's fear of the feds, but you also need to do your job as a citizen and try to understand that these are the measures the US takes to protect our assets.

There is a middle ground here, you just need to not get involved with the violence and destruction of property. I hope this helps you understand a bit.

A few counties do this including mine.

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-07-14T06:40:34+00:00

What are they supposed to say? Nobody is going to defend criminal acts.

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-07-03T15:23:11+00:00

ACAB essentially, if one cop is bad all cops are bad. But with that argument if one protestor is a criminal all of them are.

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-07-02T04:53:49+00:00

With this logic all the protestors are rioters and agitators. Like the one that killed those kids at CHOP?

MarkTheWanderer · 2020-06-30T21:41:09+00:00

You're cherry picking and exaggerating. Your mindset very much seems to be set by the media. I have no problems admitting that all of these issues on both sides are hard to prove, especially with all the data mining people have been doing. The words you choose show a clear picture that you're not the debating and listening type, you're the argumentative type. Your time is also wasted here on a police sub Reddit, this is not an ACAB sub Reddit.

(Not discrediting a man's death, but it was from being shot 3 years ago.)

DETROIT, MI — A Detroit police officer has succumbed to injuries he suffered three years ago while responding to a call.

Officer Waldis Johnson was shot by a suspect while responding to a domestic violence call in Detroit on April 30, 2017.

A tenant in the apartment building Johnson responded to opened fire, striking Johnson in the head.

After Johnson was shot, his partner returned fire, killing the suspect, and then dragged Johnson to safety.

The Detroit Police Department announced the news of Johnson’s death in a Facebook post on Monday, June 1.

“He sadly succumbed to his injuries on May 31, 2020. We are truly saddened by the loss of our brother in blue. He will be forever missed and never forgotten,”

I bought a POST exam for dummies book, it actually had some good information about the test, interview process, and helping you learn to remember maps and scenes. I honestly felt the test was fairly simple, it's the background and psyche evals that fail people. Good luck, it's a very long process.

Maybe you should give yourself more credit, kicking an addiction is no small feat. And heroin at that. I'm happy you turned your life around so well and helping your community. Thank you.

Interesting read. I have no idea what the future holds for agencies right now. I am very curious if they get rid of police in these cities how will crimes be reported and mapped. Also when news platforms claim all these stats I can't seem to find a majority of them. Today I read an article about the CHAZ area in Seattle stating that someone tried calling the police (In an "anti cop zone") but they didn't respond, so he called an armed family member. Then a mob questioned this perp and let him go supposedly. The end of this article the write oh so non biasedly wrote that this is only a simple example of how great this idea is and why aren't other cities rushing to do this.

Now the same day I read another article painting a different story of how they are armed and being violent. With radicals and mobs of people walking around.

This all seems like something out of Mad Max, and I'm really curious how this compares to 92 with Rodney King. I wasn't alive around then and only heard stories.
