squeek Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Written by a cop. https://twitter.com/LuthorCorp1/status/1057811023011430401 "15 Free tips for when things get weird. Enjoy. #ThinBlueLine #CopLife 1. It's more important to not get shot than it is to shoot the bad guy. 2. Distance is your friend. Applies to knives & guns. 3. Move your ass. Get to cover or some place where you're not getting shot at. 4. If the worst happens, stay in the fight. Your mindset is your most powerful tool. 5. Don't risk your life over property. Property can be replaced. 6. If you look like prey, predators will target you. Don't look like food. 7. Criminals seldom advertise their intent. Watch for target glances & other pre-assualt cues. Watch hands and waists. 8. Every turd has a turd buddy nearby. This is why we scan. 9. Anyone worth shooting is worth shooting alot. 10. When giving instructions to your loved ones, use simple words and phrases. People can't think under stress. 11. Bad things happen fast. Your response might determine the outcome. This is why we train. 12. When being safe is no longer an option, be dangerous. 13. If you find yourself in fair fight, your tactics suck. 14. Imagine the person you want showing up at your emergency to rescue you and train to be that person. 15. Prepare and act as if no one is coming to save you. Good luck..." 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4494 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 and in our state if you see a LEO (or anyone) getting a beat down you are allowed by law to intervene with what ever force is needed to stop it. As you get older there is only one equalizer though! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostinTexas Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 #16. Never expect to rise to the occasion. Expect to fall to the lowest level of training. (Some do rise, but those are the ones on the highlight reel, and getting pretty ribbons from Uncle Sugar) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
