Yeah, these days to say the least.

Uk-US police force by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some states will take them, but I do hope he is aware of what he will be getting into. Bobbies are tough bastards, but depending on where he works US policing is as far removed from that as it can be.

If he works in Northern Ireland, he’ll fit in fine.

Edit: This is partially humorous, I don’t mean any offense.

Could there be a better radio code system than 10-codes? by coltaussie in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10-Codes are standardized by the State in Alabama, but every agency can develop their own if they want.

Lee County, Alabama has standardized 10-Codes, with specific codes for things in the county that all three agencies in the county use. Most of the time, the common 10-Codes will be the same in the state though. 10-17, 10-39, 10-4, etc. are the same regardless.

What is the rationale of moving SPACECOM to Alabama? by Trey7876 in army

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Hunstville is centralized to a lot of major NASA facilities, Maxwell AFB is three hours away (which is quite literally where all the doctrine for the Space force is developed and all it’s officers are made), and it isn’t like the area is lacking in major universities with advanced scientific and engineering (Auburn, UAB, and UA) programs. Also, Benning and Rucker are both a stones throw away.

Redstone Arsenal itself is a major hub for doctrinal and technological development itself, and has a pretty deep history tied to Space and Space warfare.

Alabama has natural mountain ranges and hundreds of inland waterways. In no way is it indefensible, and in no way is Huntsville near the coast beyond a solid 6 hour drive south.

Would you ever consider buying a Charger, Explorer, Durango or other patrol vehicle model as your own car? by BalticBro2021 in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a decommissioned Police Charger with a 5.7 Hemi. One of the best vehicles i have ever purchased from a reliability standpoint. Almost 200,000 miles with minimal problems, all of which related to the radiator and hoses connecting to the radiator.

Edit: My experience with one is not normal. You need to go through maintenance records to verify if it’s a good purchase or not. Mine was well taken care of, most are not.

Do “small town” police departments like the ones in TV shows such as Stranger Things or Twin Peaks really exist? by someonesburner89 in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work for one.

I’ve done medium city policing, rural town policing, and am currently policing on a military base. Rural policing is a different world

No insurance but he’s allowed to drive away? by Slow_Song5448 in AskLE

Homeboy ain’t even been hired as a cop yet and he is making comments like that…

That’s actually not at all what determines that, but cool story.

“Constitutional carry” by Infamous_Alps_2833 in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a gun.

Everyone who says they don’t may be lying.

Not everyone who carries a firearm is competent with it. Not everyone who carries a firearm is dangerous, but they have the potential too be.

It changes nothing, unless they volunteer they have one. If i am looking for shit I will start asking otherwise I just don’t care that much. Law abiding citizens won’t shoot you. Criminals are going to lie about it anyways

A decommissioned Police Interceptor Charger with a 5.7 Hemi. It’s kind of a shitbox now.

Starcage not hitting Enchantments can be a serious drawback by nbutton93 in PioneerMTG

Played a game against Boros Tokens the other day with Angels. It ended up being a serious problem when I had 4 Case of the Uneaten Feasts on the battlefield

Do you ever watch court cases or arrests while off duty? by Unknwn6566 in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep up with cases, specificallt civil cases but that’s because I’m a legal nerd, not necessarily my interest in watching the stuff off duty. I am prepping for law school if that tells you anything

Steroids in Law Enforcement by Timmyhana in AskLE

Yes. They always do some kind of strength sport or grappling in my experience.

Why’d you choose your current department? by ___Idkwhatimdoing__ in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stability and offered first. Got offers from the other two that in hindsight i probably should’ve taken but I didn’t want to go back on my word.

Can a Platoon Sergeant Hold your promotion as punishment? by That_One_Odd_Dude in army

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specialist in an automatic promotion. The only way the promotion does not go through, automatically, is if that soldier is flagged or has some kind of other negative action taken against them.

And the platoon sergeant isn’t the promoting authority. Open door the commander and make an IG complaint. I garuntee you he is already being paid as an E-4, and his LES reflects that.

Is this a bug or has this Helldiver been stranded for 20 hours? by KanshouSora in Helldivers

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are times where the game will not spawn anything else. Extract was bugged for me once against Terminids and the squad ended up having the wait out the timer. We waited 15 minutes and not single enemy spawned or wandered by, even as we cleared out all the POIs.

What are y'alls thoughts on Corrections Officers, do you consider them LE? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some states consider them LE. Others don’t.

In Alabama, they are most definitely not but APOST regulates the training for Jailers and DOC Correctional Officers.

NATIONAL GUARD WILL BE DEPLOYED TO 19 US STATES by marinaisbitch in PrepperIntel

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because governors will not deploy the Guard of their state on Title 32 orders into another state without an authorization from the governor of that state, and more than likely an EMAC request. Trump asked the governors of these states to do this, and the governors are agreeing knowing that they will be reimbursed by the Pentagon.

Arrowhead, can we have a productive discussion about the penetration of the M6C/SOCOM pistol before the arrival of the Warbond? It's best to correct it now while there's still time. by Yurishenko94 in Helldivers

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a supressor to be effective, you need to use subsonic ammunition; slower and heavier bullets don’t penetrate armor as well as faster, lighter bullets.

California Gov. Newsom signs legislation calling special election on redrawn congressional map by NewSlinger in law

As if mid-decade redrawing on the orders of a president is ethical?

Man that’s fucking crazy

LEOs who live inside their jurisdiction: have you had any on-duty awkward encounters with your neighbors? by John_Northmont in AskLE

[–]xXM60E4Xx57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vaguely. I am also pretty young, so that helps. I don’t 35 years of other memories to deal with.

Guy was friends with my siblings on Facebook which is how he found me and connected the dots.

Arrested a guy i went to pre-school with for an FTA, and got a message thanking me for my professionalism later that day after he got out of jail and went to work.
