Here's the thing: if you've been in combat, you understands SA. If you've been in a doughnut shop after running a speedtrap, it's not quite the same thing. The opinion of one step from Mall Ninja cops on OC is a matter of complete indifference to me.
I really think I want to put this in my signature. Best post I've read all day. :lol: Especially in light of posts like these:
LOLcop said:As an "out of State student" on a Police Officer forum, this is your opportunity to learn from the experts, not challenge them. Obviously in a gun battle, it's imperative to get off the first shot with deadly accuracy, and that is usually obtained by having a tactical advantage.
So because you have a badge you know more than everyone else?
LOLcop2 said:On some things, yes. Not because of the badge itself but because of the training and experience that comes with it.
Nobody would dispute that a brand new fighter jet pilot knows more about flying than the kid in his basement who's played Microsoft Flight Simulator for 2,000 hours. We'd all laught at the presumption of the kid for trying to tell the pilot the best way to land on an aircraft carrier at night, right? See the analogy?
Of course we all know about cops and "deadly accuracy". :lol:
http://www.theppsc.org/Staff_Views/Aveni/OIS.pdfRecently published Metro-Dade Police 1990-2001 shooting datav shed more light on issues seen elsewhere. During that 12-year period, Metro-Dade Police fired about 1,300 bullets at suspects, and missed more than 1,100 times. This suggests that Miami police fared no better than a 15.4% hit ratio, even though many of these incidents involved suspects who were later determined to be unarmed.
