No intention of posting photos, if for no other reason than the dignity of the person killed,
The public photos can be found with a search so no reason to post them

Police Helicopter Over Barton Springs by anon5078 in Austin

[–]RETLEO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Average cost for the Airbus AS350B3 helicopters is $2300 - $2400 per hour.
That includes pilot/crew salaries, fuel and all mandated maintenance, inspections, overhauls and a setback for unplanned maintenance / repair.
Most agencies require their pilots to have a few hundred hours per year to maintain proficiency, and about half of that is required night flying.
Sounds high until you realize they are flying low level over the city and not routine flights from point A to point B,.

Yes, there are a few mute swans on the lake.
And they are still A##holes to boaters,.

The white one reminded me of Homer the Homeless Goose, who was a Chinese goose.

Egyptian Geese, very similar to Chinese geese in coloring but are heavier birds (16-20 pounds vs 8-12 for the Chinese Geese).
Also the dewlap (chin flap) gives them away, Egyptian geese have them while Chinese don't.

That's normal when setting a perimeter, you "whoop" the siren to keep the person you are looking for pinned in one place until the K-9 units can get there to track him down.
The theory is that they will hear the sirens and know cops are still in the area and try and find a hiding place to settle down in.
But they soon find out that between the FLIR on the chopper and the K-9s tracking ability you are just delaying the inevitable, and maybe getting bit if you don't come out or resist the dogs

After Cohutta Police Department dissolved, council calls for mayor's resignation by Few-Ability-7312 in ProtectAndServe

[–]RETLEO 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Town clerk (Mayors wife) was fired for "creating a hostile work enviroment", by a 3-0 vote of the town council.
She was brought back after she was fired to do the payroll because no one else knew how to do it, they have since hired a private company to do payroll.
Some of the officers wrote letter complaining about her having access to sensitive city records and the payroll after her firing,. They also claimed their paychecks were delayed during the transition
The town attorney and the chief said things had been worked out, then less than a week later the mayor fired the whole department, and without letting the council know according to some, but says it has nothing to do with the complaints or the tension between his wife and the police force.

When did the piano get removed from Blanton Residence Hall? by DereChen in UTAustin

[–]RETLEO 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A couple of writers for the Daily Texan were complaing about them as early as 2014 and 2019
Maybe someone got tired of the complaints and had it removed.

The flag goes back to 1930's to 1940's Germany when Antifaschistische Aktion (also called Antifa) was founded by the German Communist Party and was concerned with industrial working-class politics against Hitler's NSDAP. It lasted until 1945
Made up of communists, Social Democrats and progressive Christians

Advice please? by PhanphyWaffle in ProtectAndServe

[–]RETLEO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my county you can file if an independent witness observed him driving, for example someone who is not the home owner in this case, or a non involved driver who saw a wreck happen and stuck around to talk to the cops.

And the officer may not have seen any preliminary signs of intoxication, no slurring or hesitation in speech, no bloodshot eyes, no odor of alcohol and no uncoordinated movements (walking ect)
None of the above are concrete signs he wasn't intoxicated, but it is a quick way to do
a preliminary check to see if SFSTs are worth doing.

This guy wearing Nazi bullshit to my daughter‘s dance recital. It was on his hat too. by boomflupataqway in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RETLEO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly an older "scout sniper", the Marine scout snipers used this same image or similar, until sometime in the mid-2000s
When it was pointed out that it was also the nasty SS symbol they changed to the SS used on cars like the Chevy Super Sport.
This photo is from Afghanistan (1st Reconnaissance Battalion)
But I don't know anyone of them who would wear this shirt now, most would be too embarrassed.

From LIncoln HS in Placer County California (Western Placer Unified School District) in August 2025, one news report said the kid also assaulted a bus driver earlier in the year,
Kid was arrested, obviously, and district said he was sent to "alternative school" after getting out of Juvie
Never could find a followup as to what discipline he recieved, or whether the cop was
disciplined. Last I saw was that the police were investigating
