It's an L.A. County high school near my station. There are 30 of us participating.

I've had another cop write me a ticket for 8 over and say "I normally give warnings up to 10 mph over but you had a radar detector so no warning for you."

As I got older, I got tired of the incessant beeps and I was ignoring everything anyway so I just stopped using one. I spend 95% of the time driving at a speed I won't slow down from even if I see a cop (+10 in town and +15 on the hwy). Every now and then, when I feel sufficiently insulated by surrounding cars, I drive spiritedly but only in small doses.

Everything you said after "As I got older," pretty much sums it up for me as well lol.

LASD use of force video

How can that activist get up and say it's perfectly legal for a felon to have a loaded gun in a Fanny pack???

One of the Deputies in the video is a friend of mine. Felon issues aside (…and I totally agree that the activist needs to hush), it is likely going to be problematic for him. He made a few bad decisions trying to effect that arrest.

Would like to know, when you can say. Went to more than one high school there myself.

This is a wild pursuit of a motorcycle, with the suspect bursting into flames when they taser him. A wild 9 minutes, with a pretty cool speed wobble at the 5:35 mark, they would never let us pursue motorcycles as so many pursuits ended in fatalities for the suspect. From the arrest on it's just a lot of video of the scene.

This news shocked me of a couple on a Florida beach torturing a little kitten in the water.

….but a buffed out, naked and sweaty 6'4" black male high on PCP with a legit 10" schlong dancing around in the middle of the street with that thing dangling around, gyrating like a helicopter is pretty funny……



…..until it was time to go hands-on.

You'll never unsee that will you - what yr did that happen?

They mentioned that he had a can of gasoline in his backpack. Whatever it was, it sure ignited fast.

I remember when we were first getting issued OC (Pepper Spray), it was originally contained with an alcohol based liquid and some guy in Rochester NY getting sprayed and then tased and going up like a roman candle. Needless to say the alcohol fluid was dropped after that.

We've had two different people in the last year catch on fire from the use of our TASER's. It's crazy to see.

This has warmed my heart.

That's a step in the right direction (no pun intended).

My company is requiring the last booster that was approved by the CDC a few weeks ago. I more than likely will be unemployed or working for another company in the coming months...

Dude had no business being on a bike in the first place. That was some horrid riding. I bet his butthole puckered up real tight with that wobble, I'm surprised he was able to pull through it.

It was also entertaining because I just spent 6 weeks in Little Rock and just got back a couple weeks ago, so I knew all the roads and exactly where he was lol.

It's just bananas that a company still pushes a mandate knowing what we know now.
