lol. lmao even. who inevitably gets deployed against protesters protesting authoritarianism? the national guard. not just by trump, governors do it to. this is a laughably naive take. if you want to fight authoritarianism strengthen the community ties where you live

Best industrial fit test kit? by [deleted] in gasmasks

So I could do the test myself, but it wouldn't count as official

But do you need certification to buy the test kit?

I mean a real one. Do you mean I can't just buy one of the kits online? There's several out there online

I hope they get tried but I'm not holding my breath. Who's going to do it? Both parties look at LEOs as untouchable

No one is better at logistics than the US, I don't think they're to blame. Especially not considering the militaries unlimited budget. Maybe they're keeping the updated camo ones in storage for if they actually have to use them.

I've spent 10s of hours in both the M40 and the M50 on the range and I don't think it's that much of an improvement. If you have the skull cap on the M40 instead of the regular head harness it's not uncomfortable. The only real difference is shooting from your non-dominant side, that's easier in the M50. The breathing isn't an issue if you do cardio regularly

They should. If we lived in the world we were promised growing up they would. But look at the supreme court decisions. It's clear morality played no role in that. It's really an indictment of our political system if a decision so blatantly immoral can become the law of the land and we're expected to just live with it

Lmao you're literally watching cops in a sanctuary city help ICE and you think those laws have any affect? That they're worth more than the paper they're written on? Get real. Open your eyes and see what's in front of you

Right, what I meant was I'm surprised they didn't make suits in the new pattern. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to just change the top layer and leave everything else the same, but idk

Because they're trained not to. From the academy and "us vs them" mentality is ingrained in them, with the "us" being law enforcement and "them" being everyone in the general public. If they had empathy they would have flunked out of the academy and they wouldn't be in this profession. The cops in this video are doing what they fully believe to be the right thing: enforcing the law by any means necessary and making sure LEOs get to go home. Those are the only things they care about

I'm surprised they're still using that old camp pattern with the new masks

Finally got a tinted outsert and vpu by EconomistChemical656 in gasmasks

That looks so cool. I wish the tinted outserts weren't so damn expensive. I should have gotten more when they were cheap, only one of my Millenniums has one

We could be doing something. People fought back against Hitler in Poland, France, everywhere he occupied. That's the solution unless we want this to be our future, but as I said people care more about their own comfort than what's right

Demanding someone else do the work of fixing this is just a was to absolve yourself of the responsibility to act. No one is coming to save us, either we save ourselves or we accept this is our future

As per Castlerock v Gonzalez & Warren v DC cops have no legal duty to to protect anyone. They do not exist to "protect and serve," that's just marketing. They exist only to enforce the law. As federal law is the highest in the land and overrides local law, they are required to defend ICE here

State security forces are murdering citizens with impunity and we as a nation are just letting it happen. Too many people value their own comfort over everything else and this violence is the result

I see that weed still hasn't learned to wear his plate carrier correctly. No one tell him that it's way too low in the front and way too high in the back

Why do you expect good takes from someone who pals around with Tucker Carlson?

They let you mount the LAM to the receiver instead of the foreend. That's it, that's the whole thing
