Uncalled for on this thread. Big time. Save it for your PDS garbage threads.
I am old school to and do not “like” it either yet I have seen women that are better at police work and military than some men. No I do not like seeing women put in harms way. But it’s their choice.
BTW ...thanks for thinking out loud .....:o)
Stay safe !
She is attractive.
BTW, is their a DAD in the picture?
Or is she another “single mom” trying to do a man’s job?
Dont tell that to the Sarah Palin cult that religously watches her Alaska show. Shes another obsessive Title IX girl. Poor Todd acts like a girly man so she can wear the pants. As for being wired differently, has Palin ever resisted a dumb comeback? No. Even Levi, her daughters shack up buddy gets her attention. Maybe some day Palin will get the sex change she is craving.
“Uncalled for on this thread. Big time. Save it for your PDS garbage threads.”
It’s perfectly appropriate. You just don’t want to see it.
Then again, I’m a conservative and not a progressive Populist as Sarah Palin is.
Neither did the mods.
I don’t know if she’s married,divorced or single. There’s no mention in the story.
She was married six months ago.
Ever notice how many overweight, out of shape deputies (of both sexes( there are?
It’s not my fault they can’t deal with the truth.
I’ll keep saying it.
These “mods” don’t silence me.
FR is beocming more and more like DU with SPEECH CENSORSHIP.
Then write your Opus and spare us the rest...
This is more a matter of police training and procedure. Presumably, they teach something at the police academy before they give them guns and badges - and she was accompanied by a male partner.
The whole operation seemed kind of amateurish. In the video, you will see a male officer without body armor and without cover firing a handgun at the trailer from about 30 feet, when he knows the guy inside has a shotgun. Then he is shot.
This incident will likely become a lesson in police academies around the country under the heading of “Don’t Let This Happen To You.”
I blame the donuts, myself. ;)
RIP officer Hopper.
And how, exactly was there any difference here between a male or female officer? She was ambushed, it could have easily been her partner standing in that spot and shot in the back.
Upper body strength would not have saved her life in this case and I question why it is any worse for a mother to be murdered than a father? We have had too many male police officers murdered in Phoenix who left behind young children... officers of either sex are constantly in harms way.
I’m with you in firm belief of the stupidity of sending out in harms way female police officers (especially mothers). Now her poor kids will be motherless and needlessly so!
There it is.
Rule # 1 - Secure the scene.
Rule # 2 - Identify the threat.
If in doubt, see Rule #1.
RIP Deputy Hopper.
Now, about her partner being out from cover, no body armor and taking a round....See Rule # 1.
It’s a similar situation to having coed troops at war. The “gallant” men may take exceptionally stupid chances to try to save a woman on their side that they wouldn’t for a brother. What should have been sent was an all woman squad all with PMS. Whoever dared to shoot at the first officer would have been downed in two seconds by another officer and the whole place would have been swarmed as by killer bees.
You might want to check out the bottom of post #14... or are you too busy spewing your venom right now??
