kelpdiver 2 #4 December 22, 2009 I wonder what effect this could have on this "spontaneously planned" snowball fights/pillow fights/zombie marches that have been driven by new technology. The fun goes right out when you think some 20 percentile type in LEO is going to start shooting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(And really, how is he supposed to know?) Yeah, it was much clearer in the George Romero vision of zombie apocalypse. You still have a chance alone against a large number.

DougH 270 #19 December 22, 2009 I saw another cop unholster something on another snow storm/snowball fight in DC. It was a white cop, was it a tazer and not a gun?"The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #20 December 22, 2009 I couldn't really tell, either. It appeared to me to be a small, hand-held radio. It didn't appear to be a gun. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's like SF, a lot of cops score a bukko OT doing support of special events (here, Giants games are a biggie) that need police for security. In the extreme examples, OT represents 60% of their gross for the year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the extreme examples, OT represents 60% of their gross for the year. Not too shabby! Maybe, the cop in question here, works OT for Redskins games. In these parts of Texas, a police officer can work off-duty at some local beer joint, highschool football game or a function at th Holiday Inn, for s few extra bucks. Helps make payments on their house or pick-up. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
