Banter Thread Part 3 (Back with a Vengeance, this time its personal)

just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday. hope u guys get what u wanted :thumbsup:

Happy Holidays to all. Hope everyone is enjoying their time off, because we'll be back at it soon enough.

I got a bunch of stuff for the new truck, including sirius radio. It's pretty cool, wasn't all that difficult to install, now I just gotta remember to clean the antenna off when it snows. How did everyone else do?

got 2 5qt jugs of oil, 2 $50 gift cards to advanced auto parts, an ipod nano, new bowling bag, couple dvd's, some cash, and other little misc stuff.

Well, I already mentioned my new phone. That was the majority of it. But it plays MP3's, camera with a swivel lens, video/sound recording capabilities, blue tooth, 3G, etc...with accessories.
Got a few gag gifts, a new bowling bag, some gas gift cards, and some cash. But having the day off and sleeping til 2pm was good enough for me.
Plus, my dad just smuggled me down a beer. No one in my family drinks, almost at all, so its a very rare treat.
Hope everyone had a good and safe Christmas. But I will be going back to work tomorrow.
I would also like to extend a Merry Christmas and a HUGE thanks to all the troops overseas and the ones who could not be with family and loved ones. They are the ones who really deserve a good Christmas/holiday.

well...today what i got for christmas was...my ass handed to me by a 98-02ish mustang gt on the highway...it was fun, but damn, i wish i had a v8.....it'll get better tho...instead of wishing for a v-8 i'll be getting an i-3...and kick everyone's ass on 4 wheels.

I got a lot of money and clothes. My Glock 9mm should be in tomorrow! That's all I really wanted.

Great, now you are going to shoot yourself...

poop

Initially I had wanted a Glock .40 because that's what ISP had carried. They had a lot of issues with failure to fire .40's so they went back to the 9mm. ISP didn't want to go with the .45 because of the smaller troopers, fearing they couldn't handle them as easily as a .40 or 9mm.

Its not like you'll really be able to use a gun as a trooper. They have so many 'alternative' weapons that pistols are hardly used anymore. It pisses me off. There are some people and some situations where a couple of bullets are much needed. No mace, no tasers, no water hoses, no bean bag shotguns, just good ol' fashion firearms. Maybe I just watch too much Cops and World's Wildest Police Videos, but some criminals just need to be eliminated and made examples of.

I know it's most likely that I'll never use a firearm but should the situation present itself I would like the added peace of mind that my weapon will protect myself or another. I cannot stress enough how I hope that situation never presents itself but you had better believe that if it does, I will be prepared to defend myself (if my gun works).

Carry a gun with as much knock down power as they will legally let you carry. People who are on drugs and crazy dont even notice small bullets at first unless the shot is deadly.

I've watched hours of training videos. The one that I remember the most was a South Carolina trooper making a traffic stop on a big drug highway. Everything seemed normal, the driver consented to a search of his vehicle. All of a sudden he knocked down the officer and shot him in the chest with a .22. The officer fired 5 rounds from his .357 into his chest and the guy fell down. He leaned up and fired one shot hitting the officer on the underside of his arm and the bullet went right through his heart. The dash cam caught the whole incident and the officer dying. The shooter survived the 5 shots in the chest.

And that tells us all to carry a bigger gun. Bazooka would be nice, just blow them right off the planet.

.45...thats about right...

And that's when dumbass people declare police brutality. They see the police billy clubbin' some guy because he's hopped up on something and has the unnatural strength of 5 men, but the general public ignores this fact and blames the cop when the suspect is dead. Its ridiculous! Just like Rodney King...
People just need to let cops do their job and stay out of it. What do civilians know of police matters? As civilians, I think we need to give cops a certain respect to do what is neccessary, not what we perceive as right or wrong. That's why, in general, I respect MOST police officers and what they have to put up with. Its enough they have to deal with potentially dangerous people on the job, but worrying about people, who know nothing about it, judging their actions is crap. Ok, I'm done.

RPG's are easier to conceal :thumbsup:

Probably make a bigger mess as well :evillol:

Nah forget bazookas or rpg's. What you need is GO-GO-GADGET ARM!

Nothing like properly placed C4 though.

Seriously, I worked with the cops for a few years and the stories one hears is unbelievable. True the majority are good honest cops, but man there are some that just do not need to be put in an authoritive state with a weapon (any weapon) whatsoever. It amazes me how those bad ones can pass the psychological exam in the first place.

3 more days to go. :icon16:

TS out

btw, not that anyone would care :p but I got myself a new car for xmas. see here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=4537575&postcount=35) for pic.

3 more days to go for what?
And nice new vehicle, nothing like the new car smell. But what are those things hanging off the hood. They look like mini side-view mirrors.

Those are the ultra mirrors for the even safer wannabe old people.

Its hood mirrors which take care of the blind spots. Its provides four benefits. 1-Takes care of the blind spots, 2-Makes it easier to get really close to the curb so my disable family member can hop into the vehicle without a stepping stool, 3-Folks slow down around me thinking I am a cop car thereby avoiding being hit. 4-They look pretty damn cool especially since I am one of 4 folks on the east coast that haas them and the only one in the metro NYC area with them.

As for the three days (now 2 days away), no its not only the New Years eve, but... um.... (cough) someones birthday (cough) that I will not dare speak their name (cough) numbnuts (cough) is approaching. :rofl:

TS out

Oh yeah its numbnutts birthday.

Not for another couple of days yet. I am enjoying being 28 for as long as humanly/squirrely possible :uhoh: .

Damn your getting old!!!

Yeah, he's almost a senior-fucking citizen. You going to get free coffee from McD's and park in the handicap spots at the store?

Yeah but at least he is doing it in style.

Youre not officially old until you start getting life insurance ads via real mail.:iceslolan

Sounds like you already went though that phase. But I do plan on getting tased this year. And I will get it on video and I will post it when it happens.

All you old folks.. makes me feel good about being 17..

But you're still in high school. Just wait till college...

college = a party with a 25,000 dollar cover charge.

All you old folks.. makes me feel good about being 17..True, but aren't you really two people rolled up into one? Thereby making you 37. :p

TS out (avoiding chalupas)

I feel old at 21...I'm dreading 29 or being as old as TS.

Isn't TS older than dirt?

I'm pretty sure I saw on television where he is actually older than dirt, even older than god himself some believe.

I saw that! It was on Ripley's Believe it or not.

Hmm...I must have missed that. So, homosexuals were around before god?

It's official, you're banned forever.

It's official, you're banned forever.
:lol: So true. I'll tell you, all you young fuckers make me feel ancient (although I would much rather be 28 or 29 than 17 again, you are expected to behave like a adult but have none of the rights of a adult in the decision making process for your life) but thank god for guys who are older than me around like TS and Earlsfat/Jim :grinyes: .

It's 27 days until police academy starts. I'm nervous.

So your hired? If you already said I must have missed that page.

I passed the PT, signed my conditional offer of employment. It's a 4 year deal, if I leave within the first 4 years I owe the state of Indiana $50k.

It's basically a done deal, just deciding if I want to go now is the thing.

Didn't you already decide that you're going when you signed everything? I think your hands are tied and you pretty much have to go.

You only find deals like this AFTER Christmas.
