yes her being voted into office is political. Her making decisions that kill innocent people is not - that's incompetence or evil.

This is awesome. I'm okay with people being murdered over free appetizers.

The worst part is I've only eaten there once for a rehearsal dinner. I've never even gotten a free appetizer.

Now I've got a real beef to take up with my dear friend. Screw the bail issue. I WANT FREE SHRIMP APPETIZER!!!


Probably should have kept this one in the chamber.


You think I'm serious?

His humor is about as bad as his choice in judges. Only his humor hasn't killed anyone.

That's the prime L & O lineup. Maybe I'd swap in Chris Noth.

It's funny, after I posted that above I googled "Best l&o order cast" and hit on this article. It has the above cast and the above cast - Bratt and + Noth as #2 and #1.

I was never a die hard fan, just watched a ton over the years in reruns and such.

Don't forget Michael Moriarty
The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

She thinks an LTC class = gun training.

And the CNN piece mentions LEO getting firearms training but, anecdotally from a buddy who was a Ranger and then a shooting instructor for Blackwater, the ranking of the best shooters was generally:
- Special operations military (ie- SEALS, Special Forces, Rangers, etc)
- specialized civilian units (FBI Hostage Rescue Team)
- civilian hobbyists (people who shoot competitively for fun)
- regular military
- LEO
- everybody else

Basically, members of Special Forces (used generically to cover all of the branches) shoot thousands of rounds per week and are the best of the best when it comes to shooting. The specialized civilian outfits are next.

Then, civilians who shoot a lot. Because it's their passion so they can generally spend lots of time and money on training and range time.

Regular military actually has minimal range time once they're out of basic. I was surprised by this.

LEO, once out of training hardly shoots at all except for annual proficiency exams.
I would hope our LEOs shoot more than an Active Duty line company.

We had to do so much other training that there was hardly time to pew pew
By way of illustration (and these illustrations are from circa 2000, and so might have changed some) but back then, a single Ranger battalion (of which the Army has 3, part of USASOC/SOCOM) was allocated as much ammo for training as the entire 82nd Airborne Division (which, at the time, had 9 infantry battalions, a light tank battalion, a cavalry/recon squadron, plus artillery, engineers, and service support troops.)

At the PD I currently work for, annual qualification is 50 rounds each for pistols and rifles, day time and night/low light (total 100 rounds of each) and 10 rounds each day/night for shotguns. Training ammo allocation is 50 rounds per officer per year for rifles and pistols and 10 for shotguns. Sometimes we get lucky and they get a bunch of birdshot on clearance or something and we get a whole box of 25 rounds of shotgun each.

Now, before ammo prices got stupid back in the summer of 2020 (Thanks BLM!), I could shoot up a couple hundred rounds of rifle and/or pistol ammo every time I went to the range, depending on what I was shooting and how long I could spend at the range. My current favorite shooting sport is Run-n-Gun (think tactical biathlon, running instead of cross country skiing), and I'll shoot roughly 40-60 rounds of pistol and 120-150 rounds of rifle ammo on a 5 km, 5 stage course. For a typical local 3-gun match (rifle, pistol, and shotgun), I'd shoot 100-125 rounds each rifle and pistol, and maybe 40-50 rounds of shotgun.

People who are really into their shooting sports will shoot 10,000 rounds or more a year, especially pistol shooters. Full time professional competitive shooters like Taran Butler (the guy who trained Keanu Reaves for the John Wick movies) will leave those numbers in the dust.

Colleen is a dear friend and I believe she's still the same person you knew in school. I would take what you see on social media with a grain of salt. Politics is really dis-tasteful and easy targets are made. Same on both sides.

I know I won't sway anyone's mind but as I understand what happened was there was a magistrate in her court last week. She was on vacation. Like a lot parents I think she was in Florida getting whipped by her kids and the mouse.

The magistrate set the initial bond amount. Upon return Colleen looked at the bond amount and didn't feel it matched precedent for what this person is accused of and past history. Had she been in court last week she would have set it at the amount she lowered it to.

This wasn't a political move. Simply a judge re-setting the bond amount to what she feels is appropriate for her court.

I believe she's very frustrated by all the bond stuff because she feels her hands are tied. She has to follow laws and precedents.

She wants to serve and takes all of this very seriously.


Good for her.

I hope she wastes thousands of dollars to get her a** defeated in November and has to go back defending criminals in private practice.

Wow. My post didn't sway one person's mind. Shocked by that.

Looks like the answer is simple - vote her out.

I'll keep sleeping like I always do. Really well because I don't get super worked up about politics online.


Find better friends. Preferably ones that don't have a soft spot for criminals.

They should do a quarter mile march instead. Why half-ass something when you can quarter-ass it?

K9 officer knew what he was doing. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a vet.

Somebody clipped the metal handrail when they returned fire. Lucky no one caught shrapnel.

In fairness, a half mile stretch of Gulfton is probably responsible for more crime than most other half miles.
