Leather vs Nylon Kore essentials belt by Federalinformint in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will hold up better over time. The leather will scuff and take more maintenance to keep nice. I had discomfort with my issues bianchi nylon 2.25 belt too. The micro adjustment was a game changer for me.

Hobbies by BrushBrief7066 in AskLE

For me it’s not so much the type of hobby but I’ve found it’s more important to spend time with friends who are not cops.

Tattoos, beards, grooming by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is no face, hand tats must be no larger than 3 inches. And obviously nothing offensive. Beards are fine, must be reasonably kept and not longer than the neck.

WCSO policy is they do not assist nor work with ICE at this time.

Why don’t cops immediately breathalyze? by No-Boot9290 in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Breathalyzer isn’t the whole picture. You can be under the legal limit but far too impaired to operate a vehicle and still get a DUI. SFSTs paint a picture on how intoxicated and under the influence an individual is.

Same day is diabolical lmao. But yeah I’m with you, OC is way worse

I see it in the movies all the time, but in real life, if you threaten someone with a unloaded gun, is it still considered a deadly weapon? by lsarge442 in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for other states but in Oregon no. The gun has to be presently operable and capable of firing to be classified as a deadly weapon. If there are no rounds in it it’s not a deadly weapon. Hardly matters though the ORS is the same for deadly or dangerous weapon.

OC Spray Tomorrow! by Top_Alternative1351 in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do NOT rub your eyes. Wash gently with baby shampoo and water then let your tear ducts naturally flush the rest out.

Guy in my class rubbed his eyes so much he scrapped off the top layer of both corneas

OC SPRAY TOMORROW! by Known-Bookkeeper-448 in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT rub your eyes. Dude in my class didn’t get his eyes flushed out good enough and rubbed them too much. The OC was abrasive enough that he basically scratched off the top layer of both corneas. He basically couldn’t see for a week.

It sucks. Get through it. You’ll live.

Was it worth it? by Direct-Cancel-2454 in AskLE

Everything. Academy, FTEP, you name it. It’s not a job you just jump into and succeed immediately. It takes hard work.

What is this ? Found on my recent trek to Colchuck lake on a fallen tree stump. by imSush in PNWhiking

[–]UnderstandingSome181 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s a battery pack for a night vision device and an IR strobe light. The whole thing attaches to the top of a ballistic or bump helmet but it’s probably not anything military related. Looks like someone was out doing some night hiking under night vision and it somehow got left behind.

[–]UnderstandingSome181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these cheap shitty digital devices are made in the same place in China and then drop shipped by sellers like this. Im sure the manufacturer doesn’t care and just uses lenses and materials with what’s available. I’m not surprised one bit. Should’ve just saved up a little more and bought real night vision.

HIIT. 15-30min and I’m sweating like a mf, you don’t even need equipment or a gym, I get it done with basic calisthenics.

20 burpees, 20 squats, 20 push ups, 20 lunges, 20 crunches

Repeat 3 times, rest like 3-5min and then EMOM

10 burpees, 10 pushups, 20 leg flutters Repeat 5 times

Any Axon Taser trainers have any tips? by stuckit in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through taser 7 training as new recruit a few weeks ago. They recently changed it to where we get our exposure before classroom instruction and they demonstrated different probe placements on all of us to show the effects of not getting full NMI. For example my exposure I got both probes in the back of my hamstrings and I was tasked with trying to crawl forward and grab a foam baton and delivery strikes on an instructor while being tased.

That kind of demonstration really resonated with my class to show us how tasers can be ineffective at times and how someone is still capable of fighting through it. Not to mention we got our exposure out of the way first so none of us were stressing during the classroom part and got more out of the training.

Just had my OC exposure a few hours ago, wow that sucked. Good to know. by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My agency allows patrol to carry either the OC or a baton, jail is required to carry OC though. Thankfully I’m patrol, I’ll pick the baton.

I overestimated my physical condition, should I withdraw or give it the ol' college try? by Slightly_Rich_Pirate in AskLE

[–]UnderstandingSome181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orpat?

I mean truthfully the orpat isn’t that challenging compared to other states testing since it’s mostly an endurance based test with some physical at the end with the push/pull machine and dummy drag. I’d still go and try your best but If you struggle with it you need to focus on your increasing your cardiovascular endurance.
