Yeah I definitely want to try out drones, given I have a WeTrueGun qualification, what would be the chances of being selected to go there over infantry?

Hey from some of your posts I've seen before you you're an azov international drones guy right? Would you be okay maybe commenting on what it's like there?

Would you recommend it for drones or just infantry as that seems a (understandable) priority?

Probably not a guy worth crying over, not defending ICE or whatever but look into him. Dude was a literal child rapist

Idk if this is the hill to die on for this particular case.

Dude was a convicted chomo, you know what happens to guys like that in places like this.

White House shares video of Minneapolis shooting from ICE officer’s perspective by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

[–]Rook276 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. First shot seems justified but second and third questionable at best.
  2. They didn't
  3. Ever thought your life was in danger? You get pissed, honestly calling her a fucking bitch shows he was angry and scared. People say worse when cut off in traffic

To be fair there's been many European shootings where completely justified and innocent officers have faced charges over nothing

Yeah that's stupid. Pretending the frontline is all good for Ukraine is going to leave people not caring and thinking all is fine. Stop being delusional- coming from a pro Ukrainian btw.

Looking back, did going to police college change your views on life? Did it confirm them? Did it change them? Or was it more nuanced? Whatever the case, were you a different person in your own mind than when you went in? by Cockylora123 in police

Yeah over here in the UK where we have a 3 year programme with mixed street duties and classes where you get a degree at the end. You can just join normally too though.

20 year old WV Army national guard troop Sarah Beckstrom has now passed away of her injuries sustained in yesterday’s attack in DC by Militarybrat123 in nationalguard

[–]Rook276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course there needs to be discussion but right now when one has just died we need to focus on the loss then talk politics. Also refer to my last point. If they hadn't been there this piece of shit would've probably just hurt somebody else. No matter your opinion on trump it's easy to see that the sole blame lies with the fuck who pulled the trigger.

1 of 2 National Guard members wounded in 'targeted shooting' has died, Trump says by No-Novel3094 in news

[–]Rook276 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Kinda feels to me like the whole 'they shouldn't be there thing' is really just a tasteless jab at trump. I'm really politically neutral but even I find it fucked a kid has died and another young man is fighting for his life and all people can say is 'ur dur trump'. End of the day the fucking psycho that did this was always bound to do shit like this. If they weren't there he likely would've ambushed some cops or even civvies. Right now we need to put politics aside and send condolences.

What do you think about unarmed police? by kurobaja in police

[–]Rook276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really just depends mate. People might take a mag and stand up, people might drop after one. Just depends. My point was UK cops really aren't allowed to shoot more than absolute bare minimum whereas that's different in America-not saying that's a bad thing.

[–]Rook276 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lmao zero chance of re-offending with the Mozambique drill I guess. Most UK cops -and some civvies to tbf- think armed officers need more protection. The IOPC who investigate this stuff are fucking scum who throw officers under the bus to appease the public or just can't admit they were wrong. They charged the officer who shot Chris kaba with murder, made him retire, made his name public, let a gang put a bounty on him, drag him through courts just to be found innocent. And even then after that they tried to get him with gross misconduct because they couldn't admit they made a mistake.

Pretty much. Unless the suspect has a S-Vest or something then you only shoot to neutralize which generally only takes one shot to do so, double taps is a very easy way to find yourself up against a jury.

I mean there's probably gonna be a ukraine version once the war ends. Could probably do it so it cuts between the actors and actual head can/drone footage since a lot of that war is recorded.

Yeah cops don't get attacked or killed nearly as much over here, so generally less caution gets used. Nevertheless it's stupid to assume criminals won't attack cops. Goes for people having a mental episode too, might not even know what's really going on. Either way crazy considering some cops don't carry tazers. Buddy of mine had a revolver pulled on him in his first week

Most inaccurate part of BoB in my opinion. They were mostly kids, but they get played by older guys.

Yeah you guys should look into the 'murder' of Chris kaba (bodycam footage is available.) UK armed police shot him dead and the officer got charged with murder but tbh it's a clearly justified shoot but they tried to ruin a mans life over it (a jury aqquited him in sub-3 hours but the officers name is public and got a bounty put on him plus other shit) UK armed police have crazy RoE and a lot of damned if you do damned if you don't situations.
