The NYPD publicly admitted in a lawsuit that they won’t hire people that score “too high” on the IQ tests they conduct during interviews.
They don’t want smart people. Smart people ask questions. Law enforcement has been militarized for decades, they don’t want questions, they want thugs that will shoot first and ask questions never.
Every time I go to the range now, I’ll thank Charlie for dying so that I can own this rifle that I bought long before he was relevant or caught one in the neck.
“I was providing full time care for a critically ill family member”
There’s no database of jobs you’ve held in your life. Getting fired only screws you over if you tell the next place that you got fired. If they do a check and find posts, just says it’s a different person with your name. Also, stop cataloging your life on social media for anyone to research, it has never helped anyone.
If she’s fired, she could get discharged. If they force a dishonorable discharge on her, that’s a 20 year military pension that just went out the window. I’d be losing my shit if I lost a pension that I was already vested in.
The first amendment has never protected people from losing their jobs. If I go in one day and call my boss an incompetent, micromanaging asshole, I’ll get fired. I can’t just yell first amendment and keep my job.
Now if you call your representative and tell them they’re an incompetent, cowardly, fascist piece of shit, and then you get arrested, well now that would be a first amendment issue.
So if I became the Director General of Police for India, I should just wear whatever I want? In my culture, slacks and a pollo is pretty formal, so I should just run a state police force while looking like I’m on a golf outing?
His target was moving and he had a very limited line of site, and still managed to hit 2 out of 3 shots.
That kinda shit is what professional shooters can do.
This was 1 shot at a fairly standard range on a target literally sitting in a chair on a well lit stage. You don’t need to be a professional to make that shot. I’ve had friends on their first day shooting make shots like that with a decent rifle, some coaching, and about 10 rounds of practice at shorter ranges.
You know who considers long distance to be 200 yards? Fucking no one who’s ever shot a rifle chambered in a full-sized cartridge.
I swear no one on this site has ever shot anything but an AR or Glock at their local indoor range. My local outdoor range has lanes specifically set up for 100 and 200 yard targets. It’s almost like this is an incredibly common range to shoot at, and the resources to practice are available to nearly everyone in the country that owns a rifle and a vehicle. Anyone who’s ever hunted a deer with a rifle could make this shot, and has definitely made 200 yard shots before, even if only to zero their scope.
A modern civil war won’t be like the 1860s with battle lines.
We’re looking more at a “He has to get it right every time, we only have to get it right once” situation. Lone wolves or single person attacks with outside benefactors are likely to be more common than formations of troops.
If part of your culture is firing guns in the air as celebration, I might not get it, but I can support that it’s a cultural tradition.
That being said, some people do fireworks in the US to celebrate weddings, it’s not like they have a pile of old gunpowder that they just set off in the middle of the crowd. Guests, or the couple, will supply the celebratory munitions. I feel like the host could have just bought a crate of common caliber blanks and left it in a corner.
