Guess you haven't watched much high school basketball or football lately. Some observations: 1. Standards for hiring in many departments are going up, but salaries aren't. My department requires a four year degree to apply. NYPD requires 60 college credits. Starting salary for an NYPD patrolman is currently $42.5k. 2. Many police departments are woefully understaffed. Look at the departments in Texas and New Mexico that are practically begging people to apply. My department is understaffed and processing applicants like crazy. Same with VSP and many departments in MA. Most applicants can't get past the initial physical exam, many more get bounced during background/polygraph/psych. That's on top of the fact that we get fewer applicants than at any time in recent memory. 3. Cops can't just let a criminal go. That's not how it works. If they don't appear to be a threat, you attempt to gain compliance through presence and the implied threat of physical response. If you cannot gain compliance that way, you gain it through physical action. This is non-negotiable. We aren't Macy's loss prevention. 4. Use of force is a continuum, and the level of force required can change quickly, drastically, and with little warning. 5. Unarmed does not mean not a threat. 6. Many departments do not require yearly physical testing and ongoing standards. This is a shame. Out of shape cops are a danger to themselves, their fellow officers, and the public. I refuse to work with slobs and I go well out of my way to avoid doing so.

All I know is that @plenzmd1's gumbo sucks.

Here's what's hilarious about this whole thing, and another thing that leftist morons in this thread don't get: according to the Bible, it would actually be worse for Trump, who is not a Christian, to recite the Creed because it would be an act of dead religion that comes under the wrath of God. Since he's not a Christian, nobody should expect him to believe it or recite it. He actually demonstrates some small amount of integrity by not doing so. The Clintons and Obamas, meanwhile, display the exact amount of integrity I expect out of them: none. They recite the Creed though they clearly don't believe it and are not a part of the Church it references.

I believe that was @DELLAPELLE JOHN. I once found him on facebook. About as insane as one might expect. And he liked trolling lil' Donte, which I appreciated.

But Christians are the backwards ones

Oh I'm just poking what seems to be a common sore spot with eye-talians.

The Nicene Creed is a better measuring stick by which to identify (little "o") orthodox Christians: We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Well based on Rob's theory above, you're pretty solidly an African too. Do you play basketball?

But it can be a hell of a thing to find out your mother is a dirty *****.

Is this a surprise to anyone? Yinzers are among some of the worst people I've ever had the misfortune of interacting with. Say what you want about people from Buffalo but we treat our women to harmless ass luges and consensual table slamming, not unsolicited throat grabs.

We all know what that means, party at Gugny's with special guest @Jimmy Spagnola!

Now in generic form!

How do you like the kel tec? I’ve been debating between that and the ruger 9mm carbine. I carry my 26 with the 12 round extended mag loaded in it, and a 17 round backup mag. Same idea with the 19, just carry with the standard 15 round mag in it. 33 round sticks are fun at the range for sure but i haven’t found a great way to carry them outside of a range bag haha I’m looking at building a 300 blackout pistol for a truck gun. I want to get a good locking mount for it for the trunk too.

It's literally just called "Pinochle." It's made by fishdog. Little banner ad at the bottom supports it. Super simple, clean. Only issue is your partner sucks, but it's a great time killer when you're stuck somewhere with ***** internet.

Boy dolphins called bulls, Female dolphins called cows, Bills D-line wants steak.

Mint, untappd, The Athletic, Fantasy football, waze, gun deals, venmo, paypal, ticketmaster, stubhub, gmail, NYT crossword, amazon, bank apps, tunity, grocery stores, pinochle, chevy, credit card apps, airbnb, uber, lyft, ESPN, golf gps app. There's some more but these are the ones I use most.

I know what you mean. I carry a 17 for work and love it, but I can't imagine trying to conceal one in Georgia heat. Got a 19 (winter) and 26 (summer) for concealing. I was gonna pick up a 43 as a pocket gun but when I went to my local gun shop they had the P365's in stock so I got one of those instead. Not exactly a Sig fanboy but it's a great gun.

You'll love it. Great little gun. Though I'm a Trijicon guy myself.

Slander is no good We all know what Gugny wants: Peterman's peter.

Are the fish dead yet? Can't wait for Sunday; Allen: Absolute unit.

No genitalia At least not on the outside Pink looks good with orange

Yeah but the dolphins suck so haha

I hate fun too

I like money
