Situational Awareness is Critical in Law Enforcement
ARE YOU AWARE OF THE SITUATION?

Well it happened to me again. I was starting my shift on the road with a stop for the bathroom and I made an embarrassing discovery. I put my long johns on backwards.

Especially women out alone.

but pants on backwards...that's another story.

good work.

The NRA would advocate for more good guys with guns so someone is on top of making this second video, right? /sarcasm

Most likely it'll be some teenager with an airsoft gun, who talks like "Beavis" or "Butthead."

"Scared ya! Didn't I?"
"Heh heh...heh heh heh..."

but i do miss Beavis & Butthead

Just look at this one.
If I didn't tell you it's airsoft, would you know it?

with 5 seconds to decide to shoot or not, they would open fire.

Anyone with a revolver and a video cam could do this.

I guess you'd have no problem with someone showing a video sitting outside your home holding a gun watching you mow the yard.

(somewhat clumsily) is that a policeman could have made it in order to create an uproar in support of the police.

I was "reaching" on a lot of things over the year:

Like the evidence of NBC weapons in Iraq, that the Patriot Act would lead to domestic spying and torture, that Joe Lieberman was a bad choice for VP and would sell the party out.

I can stand to be wrong.

A lot of my predictions are prefaced by "I sure hope I'm wrong..."

It never occurred to me. Is everything that you misunderstand automatically designated "clumsy"? That's pathetic.

So, please elaborate on your point.

This was my first thought as well.

With all the backlash against police abuse lately, some clever element in some police district coming up with this was almost inevitable.

Any teenager could borrow his dad's .38 magnum and take a video of himself doing this. Someone who really wants to shoot a cop will shoot the cop, not a video.

of black parents everywhere. how they have to worry about which one of your husbands is gonna kill their kids.

“They just want to do their job and yet all this hatred is coming at them. And it’s becoming more and more violent,” she said. “They are so scared that their husbands are not going to come home.”

current fears:

'Practise honesty and integrity, rescue the man who has been wronged from the hand of his oppressor: do not exploit the stranger, the orphan, the widow; do no violence; shed no innocent blood.' - Jer 22:3

At this time in America, an innocent, African American male of any age encountering a policeman in the street amounts to all of those oppressed unfortunates combined. A flip of a coin could make him 'dead meat'. There will be a reckoning in this life. As for the next life, the torment of their oppressors will have the added spice of being eternal. And that goes for the evil DA's, too.

Why don't they like the second amendment in cases like this - but then they want to arm all kindergarten teachers after mass shootings??

Los Angeles police have made an arrest in connection with a video posted on social media showing a passenger in a vehicle flashing what appears to be a handgun while recording an officer exiting his patrol car.

The LAPD said the video was shot by a 1990s rap group as part of a comeback attempt. The group posted it on Instagram as a way of generating interest in their music. Police deemed it to be entertainment, not a threat. The name of the group was not released.
