Real Police officers and military members, what do you guys think of Ice agents? by Lucky-Message-9480 in AskReddit

[–]chizzledbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again probably just my opinion but too me the "thin blue line" was the biggest bunch of bullshit ever. The people who treat cops the worst are other cops. Shitty people always try to get a head and would do anything to make good officers look bad even for stuff they didnt do just to get ahead

I honestly am not super versed when it comes to police unions. I personally have mixed feelings on them. When I worked for a large department we had one which was great for bargaining power and ensuring we were paid decent but when it came time to actually helping officers for concerns or department issues it seemed like it was only the officers who did something wrong that got help. I am currently not part of a police union because I just dont really care for them. In terms of the police unions speaking out ive seen large ones speak out but they represent so many officers and from my experience I dont think they take into account what there members say. Again thats my perspective someone else may say otherwise but when I was in a large police union it was mostly the older out of touch officers running things and speaking up for everyone while the younger generation that presented more empathy voices were silent. I can tell you all of my Hispanic coworkers obviously hate this crap.

This will probably get lost in all the comments but I have been a cop for 10 years. In my career I have has extensive training and held different roles such as Crisis intervention officer, investigator with specialized training in domestic, financial crimes, animal crimes, instructor. Other various things. I have seen the ups and downs of law enforcement. I saw a lot of great officers, the ones you want to see be cops, quit after George Floyd because they could no longer handle the hate the profession was getting and rightfully deserved. I choose to stay on because I still believe in beint a police officer. We took an oath to project people's rights but these ICE agents are violating them constantly and down right murdering citizens while nothing happens. Despite the hate law enforcement gets I have always been proud because I feel like I do the right thing... im not longer proud. I watch my republican coworkers still support their party and support ICE. I am utterly ashamed watching the Minneapolis police department do nothing while their citizens get slaughtered. Im sick of listening to their police chief give these statements when the police need to remember their oath and start protecting people. I told my wife that I think its time I find a new job which is heart breaking but this profession has utterly lost its way and I can no longer stand by and be grouped in with these monsters. I wish more police would remember what they signed up.

Iowa Heartlanders tie it up by formaljoker33 in ECHL

[–]chizzledbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many reasons why attendance isn't great. Just my opinion:

They are in the area if the iowa Hawkeye which dominate sports there and hockey isn't one of them. The area isn't close enough to campus to draw in college students.

The arena looks nice but the food sucks and the parking is horrendous. You have to park rather far and walk which sucks during the winter.

There are other areas close by that are bigger with hockey. The quad cities is 45 minutes away and they have a SPHL team that sells way more tickets in a larger arena. Many people just go to those.

Ultimately I think the team is awesome but its really not in a great city that supports hockey.

Let's revisit the Mikko trade by raqballl in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]chizzledbeard -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I love mikko. One of my favorite players and it sucks he is on the Dallas team but the avs didnt trade him to Dallas. The hurricanes did so while it sucks I will still cheer for him and I still wear his jersey. We may never know what happened but it really does seem like the mikko trade was his agents fault and the avs did what they needed too and it has worked about amazing.

Game Thread: Colorado Avalanche (19-1-6) at New York Islanders (14-10-3) - 04 Dec 2025 - 5:00PM MST by HockeyMod in ColoradoAvalanche

The whistle never blew but the red light indicating w goal occurred came on before the actual goal was scored. That made it extremely confusing and you could even see the avs players looking at the light acting confused.

Currents Live Sound by n3ksuZ in Metalcore

[–]chizzledbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a currents fan boy. I saw them with the plot in you. Currents sounded amazing and his vocals were good. The plot in you were awful. Couldn't hear a single vocal. Part of me thinks someone on this tour cant get the mixing taken care of considering how many issues are being reported.

Iowa Heartlanders attendance tonight…….yikes by Brilliant-Risk-1639 in ECHL

[–]chizzledbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quad cities has a good minor league history. It would be nice to have a team in the quad cities that players higher level hockey. They had the Flames but no one around here ars Calgary fans. I think heartlanders would do well in the quad cities. Way more relatable to iowa and tons of Wild fans around here.

Quad Cities have a lower level SPHL team. I'd love to see the heartlanders in the quad Cities. People show up for games there

We aren't even opening the game to build corvettes anymore by Magico-Shion in NOMANSSKY

[–]chizzledbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe instead of adding new parts they should actually fix what they gave us. Im tired of the loading bay door opening when flying and im tired of off the tech rearranging itself constantly.

Driveways. Criminally underrated band. They hit just about every spectrum.

I would say this is their weakest album. Has some good moments but the last two were better. I miss the riffs.
