for catching a delinquent school of tuna lmao

Real talk, not a bad concept but I'd need to see simulation tests from it + a compact design.

@BlueVeins Even without the gun, the net concept worked for the Roman gladiators.

@ChipmunkErnie Yeah, that was a weighted net against a dude who was already weighted down by armor 'n' shit, and he'd follow it up by stabbing the fucker.

@BlueVeins Maybe yes, maybe no. The gladiators didn't routinely fight to the death -- they cost too much to train to throw away their lives-- and I'm not sure how much armor they wore. And a weighted net might work even these days -- a better option that shooting the suspect.

Far better training with whatever they currently have would be better.

How many years was she on the force? I believe I heard at least 22 years. And she was actually training others on the Taser! 😫

*** Correction above. 26 years ***

That means everyone she ever trained should be retrained!

Make them field strip whatever weapons they are using daily! That's what I had to do once, fired or not.

They'll definitely know the difference between their own weapons!

I think we need to be a little more particular about who we allow into law enforcement!

@Sigil I think they do a great job! With millions of interactions a day there are very few problems! Best advice I can give is don’t fight the police and don’t run when you being cuffed! I back the blue!

@Orangehotrod With all due respect, I find it difficult to back any organization whose members routinely kill unarmed people, and it has become routine.
