. This is what you said and backs up my original claim that you have no clue what the current average load out is for most cops in America. I'm not answering your question because your moving the goal posts. Most cops in the us are carrying the same amount of firepower they had before, and even have tools now designed to protect citizens than compared to the past. 40 years ago the options were get beat or shot, now they have the option to spray, taser, or bean bag you before it moves to that point.

Woah woah woah shots fired! Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

With that statement you have shown that you don't have a god damned clue what the majority of cops carry in the us. Your assuming based off events that have hit the news that all cops have full military gear helmets, rifles, and SWAT training. When in reality most cops in the us only have basic POST handgun training, shoot smaller than a .45 cal pistol, use an old hunting type pump 870 shotgun, and have only handgun rated body armor.

Not necessarily, peer pressure is a HUGE thing in the fire service. When you do these reoccurring annual tests no matter if it has bite or not it is an all out competition to see who can get the best time, and coming in last or failing is something you dont want to do. There are people who will almost hurt themselves to do better than the next guy. Also knowing that you have to be in good enough shape to save yourself or your brother in a mayday situation so you can go home to your family is always in our minds. Let me go through a normal day with you. Shift starts at 0700, you show up fully dressed shaved, and have your gear pen, paper and radio ready to go. You have a shift change with the crew before you about anything thats broken, or anything that you need to know. Right after that is radio test where you check all the radios with communications. Then starts truck checks. We have hard copies of paper with everything on the truck. I talking hundreds of things to check all the way down to the gas card hanging from the blinker. After you check between 2-5 trucks in that manner we have weekly duties that we do like today you have to change all the ice and water in the coolers, clean all windows in the station (110 sides of a window if you need to know) then you have your station duties. This includes a top to bottom dusting, wiping counters, and furniture, sweeping, mopping, cleaning the bathrooms and toilets. Then is the outside duties where you put up the flag, bring in the garbage cans, police the yard for trash, then blow off the parking lot. That usually takes till lunch to get done. After lunch at about 1300hours we are mandated by our rating to complete 3 hours of training. That takes you until 1600 if you do not have any calls in between which is when we eat supper before rush hour traffic. Around 1900 hours we do night duties, which includes taking out the trash, wiping the counters emptying and loading the dishwasher, and washing machine, sweep and vacuum the rugs, and wipe down the trucks inside and out. We usually retire around 2200 where we try to sleep inbetween calls for the rest of our 24 hour shift. I did not include annual things that we have to do that is divided up monthly for us to complete. This is preplans where we go out with our ipads and inspect every business in our area checking fire extinguishers, contact information, and the drawing of the building is correct. The other thing is checking hydrants where we go to every hydrant open it up to flush it out, check the gaskets, grease the threads and apply weed killer. Next on the list is hose test where we have to test 22,400 feet of hose plus the spare on the racks, this takes us all year and is non stop. In between that you have quarterly evaluations where you have your two minute drills where you put on your gear and airpack in under two minutes, the pump evaluation where you go through a drill setting up a truck to pump and emergency situations, the extrication drill where you set up the jaws of live, airbags, struts, and scene lighting, and the AED evaluation where you show them how to apply an AED to someone. This doesn't even include keeping up with your certifications that require continuing education like EMT, Blue card command, Pro Board safety, driver training, etc etc. So clearly its not what we do all day, its what we are prepared to do at 3am after doing all that stuff on a 24 hour shift. Kind of like the on call IT person who comes in and presses a few buttons for a couple hundred bucks. Your not paying for the button pressing but the knowledge and availability to know what button to press, and to be there on time. Edit forgot to add that most departments like mine who are a class 3 up to a class 1 SAVE you more money than it cost you in property tax, and service fee by lowering your insurance rating and costing you less on your home insurance. So for instance for your size of a home it might cost you $2000 in home insurance, and $500 in property/service fee per year with our class 3 rating, but if we were a 10 and had a crappy fire department you would be paying $5000 per year for that same home insurance.

It's up in the air at this point NFPA says punitive action cannot come from physical agility tests, but we are not an NFPA state. What our chief has said so far is that you are not eligible for promotions unless you can pass the test. So far no one has failed, but I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there. I would expect a light duty position with a doctors consultation and a timeline put on them to pass like say 3 months before you terminate someone who has been there 15 years.

I don't understand these fucks on CNN last night. They were blasting the mayor from all angles, and saying shit like "if later on we find out ______ what do you think it will mean for her career." If the mayor calls in the cops and NG, she's wrong, if she establishes a riot area, she's wrong, if she pulls the cops out, she's wrong, if she establishes a curfew, she's wrong, if she doesn't establish a curfew, she's wrong....they were saying if she diddnt know how to deal with a riot she should have hired professional consultants to advise her too.
