National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[Gunz]

Oh boy…

My thinks we might see this video making the rounds over the next few days.

I'm going to protest a lack of Chik Fil A on Sundays by burning down the Home Depot across the street. That'll teach them!

I'm going to protest them not having a store within easy driving distance by burning down the building where I want them to put one. That will work, right?

The truth is that most foot pursuits span only a very few blocks. To be honest, it's never a matter of endurance--at least, not until the fight that normally happens if you catch them. It's a matter of speed. If you don't catch them in the 1st block or two, you're not catching them. At that point, it becomes a game of employing other strategies.

Well it's opinion. Not me touting "science".

The physical demands for aerobic capacity and anaerobic capacity are massive. Cooper Institute also considers the 1.5 Mile an anaerobic event, not an aerobic event. Which seems quite arbitrary when World Athletics considers anything over 800m to be a "mid-distance" event before you get to a half marathon.

But again, that's generally not the point of the discussion. The point of the discus was what is required to create LEOs with good fitness.

Well most LEAs don't test after their screener. So testing yearly would be a start...but that's a bit of a stick and not really proactive.

What level of familiarity do you have with 'most LEAs'? Have you ever been a cop?

Regarding your (incorrect) statement on the 1.5 mile run, here is how the Cooper Institute views each event:

1. What fitness tests accurately measure the underlying fitness areas?
Aerobic Capacity (Cardiorespiratory) 1.5 Mile Run ***
Anaerobic Power (Sprinting Ability) 300 Meter Run ***
Anaerobic Power (Explosive Leg Strength) Vertical Jump***
Muscular Strength (Upper Body) 1 RM Bench Press ***
Muscular Endurance (Upper Body) 1 Minute Push-Ups **
Muscular Endurance (Core Body) 1 Minute Sit-Ups **
Muscular Strength (Lower Body) 1RM Leg Press*
Flexibility (Lower Back and Hamstrings) Sit-and-Reach*
Body Composition (Percent Body Fat) % Fat (caliper/underwater weighing/impedance)*
*** Is highly predictive of performing job tasks in all cases
** Is predictive of performing job tasks in most cases
* Is not predictive or is predictive in only a few cases

That's drawn from https://www.cooperinstitute.org/vault/2440/web/files/684.pdf .

Not to borrow from the Trump thread, but uh, the burden on LEOs required to get a warrant seems to be needing to be increased. I know the standard is "probably cause" but maybe need more paperwork. BUT, I also read the Louisville PD surveillance report on Breanna Taylor. It's over 90 pages. It might even be in this thread somewhere.

The probable cause standard is fine. It's set forth in the Constitution. That's not the issue.

The issue is that (some) cops need to stop lying and embarassing/damaging the rest of the profession.

They also need to stop covering for dirty cops.

Yeah, I’d think that would go without saying, but….

The good thing is that there are very few of those. I’ve only run into a couple in 30 years, and, well…they’re no longer cops.

I don’t doubt your experiences, but I think it is more widespread. I know of two cases where the officers lied to IA, one even had a body cam(!), and they conspired to create a fictitious story. Then you had the GTTF in Baltimore where people died and still no one came forward.

The bulk of police are good people, but those who sit on their hands or “saw nothing” are as bad as the corrupt.

Sorry, not enough coffee….GTTF?

Gun Trace Task Force. A number of Baltimore police were so far gone and their department unwilling to do anything about them the Feds intervened. HBO just had a great series on the topic.

So, looting bass pro shop is ok?

 

[RackMaster]

I have a list for looting Lowe's.

I don’t have a Bass Pro Shops nearby and HD is across the street from the nearest Chik Fil A. Academy Sports is also across the street, so I have a shopping list.

Good call! Never loot on an empty stomach.

Yeah, they need to stop acting like Navy SEALs.
