Your small victories are still a lot better than the guy who doesnt come in to train at all. I dont care how small your victories seemed. When you keep piling small victories on, they quickly turn into medium ones and so on. Keep it up, and youll be tapping a blue belt once in awhile, and...
This. My department uses the x2 which offers us a follow up shot if the first one doesn't work. We rrun a 50 percent success rate. The failures are mostly due to baggy clothing and the probes not being able to penetrate. I certainly wouldn't trust my life to a 50 percent success rate.
I've been hit with most brands and blends of spray, and they all really burn. I tell people it's like being burned by 700 or 800 degree fire. It just really burns. It takes a little while to set in, and someone who is determined will not be incapacitated.
As far as an ecd goes, the volts...
Keeping my left hand up to protect my face, I push off the ball of my right foot, pull my left shoulder back, and thrust my right hip forward. -from Fedor, the fighting system of the world's undisputed king of mma. Mrs tatertot likes angle kicks as a warmup apparantely.
How often are you guys going to put on this class? I've exhausted my departments training budget this year. I could think several of my guys would go when we get money at the beginning of the year.
I understand this. I think I have laid out a pretty simple and understood argument that you shouldn't cast judgement on a dynamic situation like this without being there at the time.
I never said anything about his age or that he was irrelevant. He said he got out of law enforcement, and is now a welder. Regardless of whether anyone is a current, former, or not a law enforcement officer, it is ignorant to cast judgement on the officer without being in his shoes.
I never said or even implied I was "The man". If you took my statement as arrogance, then that's on you. Several people on here, including you were really quick to criticize without having been there.
Check out rosstraining.com. Ross is a fitness guru/boxing trainer, and has a ton of great information from homemade equipment to fitness regimens. It's a great forum, and the guys there are really helpful and motivating.
Well our profession has changed quite a bit since you left. The social justice warriors, cop blockers, wanna be mma fighters, and a potus who has manipulated the media have made our job exponentially more difficult since you left. Maybe you should stick with your "gravy" job and leave...
At the end of the day, none of us were in that situation. It isn't fair to be internet tough guys and say what should have been done here. A man fighting a woman is a lose lose battle for the man. If we take into account the race of the man and the race of the woman in todays political...
It really is a calling man. Most cops i know and have worked with have wanted to be cops their entire lives. Depending on where you work, the schedule and pay can be good or bad. I started out working at the jail in Marion county. I got some great training, and really learned how to talk to...
My department (Rushville) just did this. We had 5 officers including the chief and sheriff come. We filled the place up. It was a really positive experience. We as a department have had really high turnover the last few years, so it was good for the citizens to get to know us.
Im a leo and oc instructor. Ive been sprayed directly and indirectly more times than i care to count. Ivs always been sprayed by deftech/safariland products. Ive been hit with their foam and various concentrations of sprays. The effects from the foam seemed to last longer. I didnt notice a...
I work for a neighboring agency to impd so i cant speak for them specifically, but something cops never have enough of are good pens and small pads pf paper (pocket size) to take notes with.
I found this video last night. Two of the Gracie brothers analyzed the video, and did a pretty good job of it, their video of the video is worth a watch. Ill add my two cents.
First I would agree both parties should have walked away, im not sure whether the fight was over "Disrespect", or the...
