I do not approve of these programs. I think they encourage criminals to go out and steal guns.

I hope you are right LA Copper. Your dept has had a tough run of things over the years. The poor economy should help you in getting good people but things will turn around and the starting pay will have to go back up and above what it was before to keep good people interested. I wish you and your fellow officers all the luck in the world. You certainly need it with the political leadership (lack of rather) in your town. Stay safe.

What I don't trust is someone else having a recording device who can edit it, and manipulate the content. If they do, I will have MINE we can compare second by second.

Sorry. There is no stress once you go home after class. You only get yelled at for a short time each week. Not going to buy that one.

The verdict is going to be huge. If they lose they will riot in violent protest. Whereas if they win they'll riot in celabration. Either way their neighborhoods get torched and we get tons of OT.

It's total non issue now. I got an email least night that I will be able to re take the test on Saturday. I did take the training after class on Sunday night, and didnt get home till after 9pm. The final is not scheduled for the same weekend . The final will be Dec -12.
