“Some states make protecting and serving the public in a law enforcement career more appealing than others,” explained Cassandra Happe, an analyst with the report. “The best states for police officers offer competitive compensation, supplemented by solid training that helps minimize the chances of deadly violence between officers and civilians. State-level policies like ‘red flag laws’ or ‘Blue Alerts’ also contribute to a better environment for police.”
Some of the proactive measures being employed by the top ranked states have potential to set up Hawaii’s law enforcement officers for success in their work as well as in the community.
For example, Illinois and Connecticut have developed what is known as “red flag” laws and “Blue Alerts”. These systems strategies allow police officers to handle issues like mental health crises and the use of force that reduce job hazards for police while improving outcomes in police-community interactions.
Ultimately, this report emphasizes the importance of resource allocation, training and policy in shaping the effectiveness and safety of law enforcement.

Preparedness and Survival / Re: Best Solar Generator for 2024 (The Ultimate Guide)
« on: May 06, 2024, 02:09:12 PM »Need vs want. I wanted 1, but don't really need 1.
if the power is out statewide, then so is the internet and cell towers. So the only electronics I could use is a TV to play DVD's. But, I have no DVD's. For news coverage, we have a hand crankable radio. Not sure if the cable company relies on power as well.
My food in the fridge isn't that much, so there is no need to power it. I have other types of SHTF foods.
base stations have battery backups

The same people that sell us themes about "fairness and equity" have a single event that is so exclusive.
$75k tickets. Hmmm....

I have to watch for drivers in the bike lane in that area. They avoid the speed hump and drive in the bicycle lane.

Makaha resident Austin Salcedo asked the mayor about being more proactive in fighting crime. Blangiardi responded that the community should do more.
“I’ve been out here now, multiple times on neighborhood watch walks. Why isn’t the community doing more?” said Blangiardi. “The police can’t do everything. So why don’t you guys deal with?”
One person in the crowd reacted angrily, but the mayor added, “I believe in taking back your community.”
Yes you heard that. After he disarmed you - he wants you to "take back your community". Perhaps with harsh language to criminals?

Why on college campuses? More relevant are State Capitols or embassies. These people are complaining about a Big Mac at Taco Bell. So dumb.

« on: May 02, 2024, 12:05:36 PM »i wonder if he got burned, so that's why he's wearing the gloves...Nope because:
1. He a pro.
2. Range not far.
3. Rifle is modern with no FSB
4. Handguard used is not a pool noodle and bought from TEMU.

Always the village idiot derailing threads nothing to do with a backwards mounted scope and incorrectly installed handguard.
