The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
I would need a solid 7 figure salary to deal with what the everyday cop has to deal with. Best case you're going home at the end of the day having not been involved in taking someone else's life or seeing one taken in front of you. You know all the worst cases. They can do everything right and they are still going to get grilled for a good chunk of time. Then to top it off you're dealing with the absolute worst society has to offer every day and every shift. Not good for your mental health. We at least get to go "somewhere" and deal with death/violence/you name it and then come home and not be exposed to it for the giant majority of career fields. That being said, that's no excuse for some of the folks caught on camera doing the shit they pull sometimes. I went on a binge for a couple weeks watching first amendment auditors. Some of the cops attitudes and actions exhibited didn't make them suitable for a third world mall cop let alone a cop in the USA. All too often attitude and aggression come into play and they have to be the ones to win. I don't know what the answer is but one thing I know for sure is it's not less funding. Crisis counselors and mental health frontline response instead of armed police to most of these instances where folks are shot is only going to lead to more folks hurt. Cops can't allow their fellow cops fuck up on a regular basis and not do something about it. There has to be more police accountability, not from some politician but from within. I know that's hard but lots of career fields do it without issue.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
1st shot (moderana) was absolutely nothing. Second shot in a little short of 24 hours later I was on my ass with high grade fever, then chills, and constant headache for about 8 hours. All symptoms ceased after 8 hours and I was back to normal. I basically slept the entire day. We are scheduling at work based on that timeline. 48 hour DNIF.

How about we try not placing giant swaths of the population into a box just because it's convenient

What's wrong with the Air Force?
They skipped over the usual MAJCOM Chiefs and went deeper into the NAFs (non-standard) to select her.

Has anyone honestly gotten pushback for NOT using the card outside of DTS booked airfare? I have yet to encounter any resistance in 15+ years.

The stock 10 rounder requires a solid push to lock it in. I can get the release with my thumb about every 10th time. I don't carry a second mag right now currently so its not a huge issue. Love the gun other than those two issues though.

I have about 300 rounds through my 365 and the slide lock hasn't improved. I can't release it with my finger.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Even if it's not killing a high enough amount of folks to warrant concern by VMFA and the like, it is destroying our economy along with our healthcare system. Wife had a friend who had a stroke, she had to be flown by airplane 4 hours north of the major city we live in to one of the few remaining ICU beds in the state. Our healthcare workers have been doing this for 9+ months now. It's not sustainable. What's going to give first? The denial of raw data and science is mind boggling. Our school district has been trying its hardest to stay open as much as possible. The city district hasn't been in person since early summer. We are in person a couple times a week and even that wasn't sustainable due to teachers/students contracting it outside of school and forcing quarantine measures and class shutdowns. My kid hasn't talked to another teenager in the flesh since before christmas break. We're proper fucked.
