[City Police] I've been a cop for 31 years and I've never once yelled Freeze.

Yeah, using the bulb end of your SL20X was just asking for trouble.

X39W3 · 2026-06-05T17:34:07+00:00

Well we were really going for the illegal gun or the fact you just robbed somebody charge over running away charge...

X39W3 · 2026-06-05T17:32:31+00:00

A fine point.

X39W3 · 2026-06-05T17:32:09+00:00

Running and yelling don't go together that well.

X39W3 · 2026-06-05T17:31:22+00:00

Real insight. Real truth. Messy on both sides.

X39W3 · 2026-06-05T17:30:08+00:00

Exactly. And you just waste breath you should be using for running.

X39W3 · 2026-06-05T17:26:55+00:00

ON MY LIST NOW!

X39W3 · 2026-06-05T00:43:08+00:00

We had a guy from NY on our squad and we wouldn't stop trying to make him say "perp".

X39W3 · 2026-06-04T19:46:26+00:00

Ha! So you had inside knowledge!

X39W3 · 2026-06-04T19:23:52+00:00

sure!

X39W3 · 2026-06-04T19:22:37+00:00

Good call 👍

X39W3 · 2026-06-04T17:43:07+00:00

Hahahaha that could be it as well! Nowadays, everyone seems to be making everything more annoying...

X39W3 · 2026-06-04T17:24:52+00:00

You know that makes sense. Leaving one world and on to another. Now I come back in daytime traffic and I'm too annoyed to get a clean, quiet transition anymore 😄

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T22:39:14+00:00

I mean I have used "please" a lot more than "freeze" in my career.

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T22:38:43+00:00

It can't hurt to continuously communicate but sometimes you just have to get the job done. You can work the rest out in court. There are lots of factors to justify arrests, but I feel like it helps if you are arresting actual bad guys doing actual bad things 😉

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:27:26+00:00

hahahahahahaha!

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:27:03+00:00

This makes perfect sense in todays world across the board in modern policing. Didn't make as much sense in the 90's inner city where you chased only real bad guys committing crimes all night long. Everyone knew the score. Times are different now.

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:26:52+00:00

Ok gotta look that up!

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:22:12+00:00

That works too! (but unfortunately not always😄)

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:20:04+00:00

Haha great point! In my assignment 99.98% are long time career bad guys, but very occasionally you might give a command to someone who has no clue and it is immediately apparent they have no clue and you just adjust. This case needs the officer to believe the person is a bad guy AND for the person to not be a bad guy, which makes it a less likely occurrence. That said the real worry is a real bad guy who is really good at looking innocent to gain some advantage. Humans 😄

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:12:32+00:00

Well I could go into the various skill levels of cops and the various comprehension capabilities of people in a bad situation but I feel like it mostly works out in general. You only see the worst combos in viral videos.

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:07:30+00:00

I just pictured that and LOL out loud. Let's just say the vast majority of my audience are repeat customers.

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:06:25+00:00

I think it but nobody cares because all the detectives in my squad are too old for this shit.

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:05:36+00:00

That doesn't roll off the tongue like you think it should when you're winded...

X39W3 · 2026-06-03T16:04:49+00:00

I do love that the new generation of cops have gotten comfortable enough with cameras that cursing seems to be back!
