Johnny Tactical it is very similar to how I kept my CATs folded before but your way with the ‘handle’ tab folded on the inside to make it truly one handed is great, I modified how I keep mine staged today when I got to work 👍
The most important things to make policing better from with in & safer would be 1 policy change & 1 change to the penal code- End narcotics prohibition & Discontinue militarized police culture. Without the contraband narcotics most street crime disappears. Gangs don't fight over dealing turf & don't make enough money to maintain cohesion and a lot of burglary/shoplifting is done to cover the high cost of narcotics. Cops in the u.s. perform their voluntary civil service career like they are part of a hostile military occupation force, they have no concern or interest in being civil or providing any service.
@johnny_tactical Man these aren't my ideas, I got the information about ending narcotics prohibition from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition but that is not what they are called now but we already ran a prohibition trial in this country and it caused exactly the same problem last time: gang violence & huge profits being earned by criminal enterprises. The fact that we are pursuing it again for so long with the same results is people in power are involved with those enterprises, it's certainly a useful tool for waging war on poor people. Also the dangers of a civil police force that regards the population as the enemy should be readily apparent and the numbers of citizens u.s. cops kill while they are unarmed and not committing is appalling, no other developed nation comes close..... I saw a video of 2 cops pull up on a playground cause some asshole racist called about a couple of black kids playing and said they had guns, no one else there or in danger but they didn't cordon the area or even have their siren on, they pulled right onto the playground and were out firing before the car stopped moving and the killed an 8 & a 9 year old who did not have any guns. There is also the issue of rampant abuse of civil forfeiture which yearly takes more property from citizens than all criminal theft, I read about a case where they tried to seize a house because some kids sold an undercover officer a $20 bag of weed from his parents front porch! The culture amongst u.s. police is like an occupying military force, it's wildly racist, highly corrupt &, recklessly violent (like them no knock warrants that keep getting people killed at the wrong houses). My dad was a C.O. at San Quentin and I understand it's real people doing a job but that is no excuse for doing a job badly.
@@robdeskrd Robert, as you may know, law enforcement is under the executive branch of government meaning we enforce the laws, we don’t make them. The legislative branch makes the laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, and the judicial branch interprets the laws. If you disagree with a law then you are in disagreement with your legislature. It is our duty to enforce the laws that are on the books. As an aside, narcotics wreak havoc on families, on children, and on other loved ones and should 100% be illegal. If you don’t know a family who has gone through a battle with addiction and the toll that it takes, then I would strongly encourage you to get to know someone like that and you will see why drugs are so terrible. We can have a conversation on how to deal with enforcing that, but to me that’s a non-negotiable, and again, the fact that drugs are illegal starts with the legislature. According to the Washington Post’s database which “contains records of every person shot by an on-duty police officer since Jan. 1, 2015” shows that a total of 6% of people shot by police were unarmed. That means that 94% of people shot by police were, in fact, armed. And as a reminder, just because someone was unarmed does not mean that the use of force was not justified. Here’s the website so you can read the data for yourself: www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/ I think the playground shooting you referenced was about Tamir Rice. The police were sent there after a call came in of a kid with a gun. Tamir did in fact have a gun that was later determined to be a realistic looking airsoft gun which would be impossible for the officers to know at the time. The shooting was deemed justified. No officer wants to shoot anyone, especially a child. The public has the luxury of 20/20 hindsight which responding officers do not. It was a tragic event for everyone involved. Here are some articles and a link to a video about that shooting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tamir_Rice www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2014/nov/26/cleveland-video-tamir-rice-shooting-police www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-closing-investigation-2014-officer-involved-shooting-cleveland You also mention the abuse of civil forfeiture - again a function of the legislature that allows the government to seize assets. In 20 years as a police officer while serving in various roles I’ve never heard of an asset forfeiture occurring over a $20 bag of anything, nevermind weed. Since you used the phrase “tried to seize” I’m assuming that seizure didn’t happen. I’d love for you to share the facts of that case and where it originated. Alleging that police culture is that of an occupying military force, that it’s wildly racist, highly corrupt, and recklessly violent is a bold statement to make without any facts to substantiate those claims. American law enforcement is not perfect, but it is the most fair, least corrupt, and best trained in the world. Sure, there is always room for improvement, which is exactly what I am trying to do here. Don’t paint an entire group with a broad brush because of the acts of a few. You don’t like to be profiled or stereotyped and neither do we. Again, thanks for your comments, I am always open to having a conversation. Take care, Robert.
Wow, good eye! It’s a real one, it’s just a little long in the tooth. Thanks for watching and the feedback. You’re a sharp dude and I’m glad to have you
You're the man for all this info! Be safe, have fun🤘🏼

@@Firsir that's awesome!
The most important things to make policing better from with in & safer would be 1 policy change & 1 change to the penal code-

I disagree with you but I appreciate you taking the time to write a thoughtful comment. Come back any time.

12:15 Hey dude that looks that looks like a fake CAT tourniquet. Genuine CATs have serrations on the windlass and a grey time stamp.
