Taser 99% of the time. -

Pepper spray is pretty effective if it gets into the eyes. Taser failures are typically due to one probe not penetrating. Tasers are sometime effective simply by pulling it out and the subject becoming compliant just from the threat of it being used. If the taser hits properly you aren't fighting anything, you will have complete muscle lock up. Some people are unaffected by pepper spray. I've had one pepper spray failure. That was due to only getting one eye. I've had three partial failures with the taser. Two were due to doing what is called a drive stun where no probes are deployed. Did not have the desired effect. The third I only got one probe in the guy. He had baggy clothing and the second probe got caught up in the clothing. -

Question concerning “Continuing Revelation”
mirkwood replied to Maverick's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
Not really. The most likely explanation is this was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young that was never canonized because it was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young. -

@Maverick are there any issues with the line of authority passing from Joseph Smith to Brigham Young? -

Why do you think those two years are significant? -
West Jordan, looks I'll be changing districts yet again (eventually.) I'll guess the location south of 7000 S and West of 5600 W. Most likely west of Mountain View Corridor.

Another Utah influencer arrested, or, pride cycles

@JohnsonJones If you have the experience you say (I'm taking you at your word that you do) then you know how safe that child was and how ridiculous your concerns are. Timestap 7:40 so you can see clearly what you will also see in the next picture. Rifle slung downwards. Time stamp 7:42 the rifle is slung. Non threatening. Puh-leeze JJ...puh-leeze. My bonafides on the topic: I am 26 year officer (still working.) I am a building clearing instructor. I am an active shooter/rapid response instructor. I am a MACTAC instructor (counter terrorist active shooter stuff.) You are really reaching JJ. -

@JohnsonJones you are either ignorant of building clearing tactics or looking to complain. With your expressed attitude about the topic you are wrong in either case. I really do not think you want to understand the reasons or care. Your attitude shows. See @Just_A_Guy's first point. Nope, NO APOLOGIES for practicing proper building clearing tactics. -

Not really. Most of the convictions and sentencing I've seen have been proper. -

Standard building clearing tactics. I think you're looking for a reason to complain about the police. Standard building clearance tactics, rifle slung downwards. I think you're looking for a reason to complain about the police. Wrong. See above. -
I'll get screwed out of about 60% of my SSN because I will have a public safety pension. There are currently efforts to change the laws that take away my benefits. Not really holding my breath.
