Did I really hear that?

[MA Duce]

Not a shooter ,man he would fit in in Spokane suspect in middle of intersection bunch of cops fired 26 shots at him he was hit by 2 of them, so they were not shooters either.

I would submit to you that shooting on a range and shooting in a deadly force situation are two VERY different things. The physiological effects of a massive adrenalin dump into your system have to be experienced to be believed.

 

[SloBone21]

You guys ever thought that he might have said that because he didn't want to bs with some unknown dude at an intersection?

There are several military slang words created from soldiers returning from war...soldiers tired of people asking what every badge and ribbon on their uniform meant.


They would tell them that it was a "mustard stain" on their parachute wings and "salad dressing" for all their ribbons.

You could be right, but I doubt it.

 

[JohnWayne]

He don't know much about his equipment.He knows little of the law ,and nothing of the bill of rights.He is above the law and he knows that.

And, what do YOU do for a living?

 

[JohnWayne]

When someone wants to talk to me about my job, I'd rather not... unless you are a kid and are truly interested in the gee wiz stuff I have.

Those of you who lose sleep thinking the government is going to come take your guns, just remember there are plenty of officers out there just like this one.

You should sleep much better now.

Huh? I'm always open when folks ask me a question about my job.

 

[WhyteCheddar]

My guess is he was just having some fun with you.
I've known LEOs who didnt enjoy shooting but never one so daft that he didnt know what was strapped to his hip every day.

Right. But you understand not everyone does?

That's very possible!

I hope that everyone understands that I do respect (most) individuals that are in law enforcement! I just thought it was odd that he didn't know what gun he was carrying. Even if he hates firearms, he should KNOW his weapon just incase he ever has to use it.
Hopefully he was yanking my chain.

 

[SloBone21]

Right. But you understand not everyone does?

I was polite about my question, and he truly looked confused. I'm not going to say that he wasn't eluding the question. Either way though, I hope he wasn't ignorant or just being an ***.

I won't defend the fact that there are, indeed, officers that have no idea what the difference is between a bat and a gun.
