    Hi jakee, He is finding himself more isolated every day. Time to 'hunker in the bunker.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, It reads better this way: ' . . . because we are all individuals.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, Many lifetimes ago, I served in the US Air Force. I worked in hospital administration; I was just a GI doing my job. We had many subscriptions to numerous medical journals; and I read a lot of them. After World War II, there were numerous studies of why soldiers would do whatever they did during combat. One thing that they found out was that when the guy next to you got killed, your immediate reaction was one of happiness; it was not you. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Binary, I'll try. The Jump Shack design used a cross connecting lanyard that goes around the back of the jumper's neck, on the container. This what a lot of people consider the problem with their design. The French system just uses two lanyards, one from each riser. No cross connector. I do not have any photos to show. Anyone??????

    Hi Binary, Nowhere near the same design. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, Re: 'Gudmundsen told police in the call he was armed and wearing tactical gear . . . a man in fatigues' I wore fatigues off & on for four years. We never considered them 'tactical gear.' YMMV Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ron, Interesting. it is my understanding the LEO profession has one of the highest rates of divorce of any occupation. It's that old 'I'm telling you what to do.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Thank You for doing the work to post that. I could not agree more that 'There needs to be a change.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, I'm with you. For many, many years I have said that one of the biggest problems with being in control of the local police is because of the union agreement(s). IMO no civil servant, at any level, should belong to a union with an agreement with the gov't. that employees said civil servants. I have no problem with them joining a union; just with the union calling the shots with the city, county, state, federal gov't., etc. Those that do not agree, can go elsewhere for work. Look what Reagan did to the Air Traffic Controllers; they lost, everything. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, This is the real tyranny of the Trump election. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, No reason to be (running and ducking) when you speak the truth. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Which begs the question: Just how far did this guy go in school? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, My father* was a lifelong alcoholic. I merely told him to never come around when he was drinking. He never did come around unless he was sober. Jerry Baumchen * I grew up with my step-dad from about 5 yrs old. He was the person who I always called 'Dad.'

    Hi John, Well, there goes the fans. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, I JUST saw that on my local news. That store owner will soon be coming into a lot of money. IMO the vast majority of LEO's are good people doing a tough, difficult job. But, these three give all of them a bad name. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, As if there is already not enough proof that TRUMP MUST GO, this is a new low for him. ‘Ugh’: Republicans cringe after Trump's attack on 75-year-old protester https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/09/republicans-deflect-questions-after-trump-tweet-75-year-old-protester-309075 I think it was Sgt Schultz in Hogan's Heroes who always would say, 'I know nothing.' 'If there was ever a tweet from President Donald Trump that Senate Republicans didn’t want to touch, it’s this one.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I am always impressed by how self-professed 'tough guys' do not seem so tough when they are apprehended. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52973398 Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Absolutely. And, I agree with Wendy completely. Jerry Baumchen
