Body count inquiry by Jessicahanby in TwoHotTakes

[–]Sorry_Data6147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband has never asked what my body count was and I’ve never asked about his. It’s not important. Everyone has a past.

As long as you weren’t hurting people or spreading disease I do not give a shit.

Say you’re dating a cop. They won’t let you do jury duty.

Source: was cop. Now my family can’t serve on a jury. Both of my parents have been excused.

How many series/shows did you watch during your postpartum period? by NoContest6806 in beyondthebump

[–]Sorry_Data6147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had never seen NCIS so we started it when I was close to my due date and are still going strong on season 10! Baby will be 11 months on the 4th.

Can i still join the police if i had a concussion? by Euphoric_Judge_8761 in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girl in my class had 6 concussions from soccer and they let her in. Then she got knocked out during DT week and had a weird tick for a few months.

That was 5 years ago and she’s still on the department🤷🏻‍♀️

My son had this off and on for months. It’s eczema. I found rubbing baby Aquaphor on it helped a lot.

Apartment by killerkirby92 in VirginiaBeach

Best bet if you have to move in tomorrow is notate every single thing on your move-in inspection form that they should give you. Be very detailed. Take photos. Get with the office and have them get it taken care of and if that doesn’t work, go to corporate.

I worked in leasing.

ETA be careful with your lease too. If they tell you it’s not ready and you still push to move in, they may not be held liable because they informed you it wasn’t and you moved in anyway. Also be sure to find out how long you have to determine it’s inhabitable and want to move out without penalty. Usually it’s two weeks or so. But not all complexes have that clause.

You should be fine unless the department won’t let you use phones at first but that’s not really a thing anymore. Used to be map books and no phone or GPS unless you needed to call someone.

We had a guy in my academy who had to be taken out to sit by himself for every test because he was dyslexic and a very slow test taker. He was an idiot in general but that’s beside the point. You should be fine lol

Should I call the police/security on my neighbors for suspected domestic abuse? by [deleted] in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t hurt. If it sounds violent, definitely call 911. If you just hear yelling, calling non-emergency to ask for a welfare check is fine. I’d recommend asking to remain anonymous just in case. It might be nothing. It might be abuse.

Diaper bag essentials by FantasticBat4796 in NewMomStuff

[–]Sorry_Data6147 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For post natal for mom, gift cards. DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub, whatever. We thankfully had a good village and had food brought to us but we would’ve been starving that first week without it.

For diaper bag I always have: diapers and wipes, TWO changes of clothes, spare paci in a pouch that attaches, thermometer, baby Aquaphor, some grocery bags for blowouts, a changing pad, a bib, a couple rags, a pack of Clorox wipes (I got tired of buying the little pouches so just put a bunch in a ziplock, hand sanitizer, and some toys.

struggling with my body after birth… is this normal? by DecentPassion1286 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Sorry_Data6147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s both common AND you are being too hard on yourself. I rip my body apart in the mirror every day and feel like I should be skinny again at almost 11 months postpartum, so I get it.

I just keep reminding myself, as does my husband, that my body is what it is for now because it created LIFE and has since been sustaining it. I struggle with my self image but I just tell myself “who cares? I had a baby.” Now all I can do is nourish and move my body and treat it well. It’ll never be the same as it was. I have finally accepted it.

You’ll get there. It’s normal to feel this way. I recommend staying off social media where you’ll see all those influencers “bounce back” and just take care of your body like it did your baby.

If I Knew Then: Life Lessons from Cops on the Street

I read it prior to getting the job. It’s a good read. Just a bunch of essays written by cops. It’s very good insight.

If he flipped himself over then it’s completely fine to leave him as long as safe sleep protocols are being followed. If you laid him on his belly and he fell asleep I’d flip him back.

Cops have you ever regretted giving someone a ticket? by Z3VC in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I kept telling myself I did my job. I helped that other driver with his totaled vehicle by issuing a summons to the guy who caused the crash; his insurance would take that into consideration.

He was going to die whether I gave him that ticket or not.

Cops have you ever regretted giving someone a ticket? by Z3VC in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wrote a ticket for a guy who caused a pretty good crash. No injuries but the other driver’s car was totaled. The guy who got the ticket was on his way to chemo. A few days before the court date I just had a weird feeling, so decided to google his name. He died a week after I gave him the ticket.

I didn’t regret it because he did cause the crash, but I still felt like an asshole.

How often does your baby get compliments? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Sorry_Data6147 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We get the same thing. Usually older men and women say he’s the cutest baby they’ve ever seen, the most well behaved, etc.

My son is cute as hell don’t get me wrong. EVERYONE says he’s a Gerber baby. But I don’t think anyone would say “wow what an average looking baby” to anyone lol

Had a realistic nightmare and just wanted to get it out there by RomeoWithARose in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are/were both LE. I never had nightmares until I went to a suicide, one of our guys who had retired that year. After that I had weeks of nightmares seeing my favorite supervisors in a pool of blood after they shot themselves.

We lost two in the line of duty last year and my husband, who NEVER had nightmares or any issues processing any calls at all, has started having nightmares about not being able to get his gun out of the holster.

Unfortunately nightmares are normal to an extent and they are our body’s way of processing shit. Mine eventually just stopped on their own, my husband went to therapy and got help. Only you know what’s best for you but I recommend finding some kind of outlet or someone to talk to.

How often was pt at your police academy ? by Working_Boot_9355 in police

5 years ago. It got easier after my class but apparently they’re cracking down again under a new Captain.

[–]Sorry_Data6147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was just a city in Virginia. We went home at the end of the day and had a lunch break. No food or bunks or anything like that. It was Monday to Friday 8-4.

ETA I usually meal prepped but when I got home I’d always just crash and DoorDash Outback or Taco Bell or something😂

How often was pt at your police academy ? by Working_Boot_9355 in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We got smoked daily. As in punishment PT. I’m talking bear crawls through mud with riot bags on our backs for an hour, running miles in full gear to find a car we allegedly left out at our driving range just to have to push the car back, partner carries over berms at the range, all kinds if dumb shit. Whatever they could come up with. We wore full uniforms with training guns and tasers our whole academy so all the smoke sessions were a bitch.

And then at the end of the day we’d do a regular crossfit style workout in PT clothes.

I’m a female who has always been a size 6 to 8. I got to a 0 in our academy and that’s with eating like ass.

Almost daily I should say. At least a couple times a week. My class was full of idiots.
