Serious question. How many "activations" is a taser battery good for?
Eff da po-lice some more
- Thread starter MMike
- Start date
From a quick check with teh googlz.
For a Taser, firing the wired darts - it depends upon the model, but you get either 1,2 or 3 shots before needing a reload of the cartridge. From what i can find, it looks like a battery pack lasts for about 50 - 30 second discharges.
So, on the surface, it sounds like they kept reloading cartridges until the battery died.
Memo: NYPD Oversight Investigators' Job Has Become "Untenable" Because Of Body Cam Backlog
"It is just another example of how the body worn camera system was supposed to be this harbinger for accountability, and here in New York City and here with the NYPD, it just hasn't."

I think it would be naive to think that the police officers are not asking for this across the board. Just give him a little sumthin-sumthin to make him more docile, etc. I'm sure medics have to get involved and have to administer drugs in some cases, but the important part is whether it's for an actual medical condition.
Hell they came up with "Excited Delirium" as an excuse, now they get to counter act something that doesn't exist with something that will disassociate your ass.

Probably. Especially the quote about a coming wave. It's almost like they know something. And especially once you look at the dates of the first article, and when the statistics start in the second.
Probably.

Officer Who Said He Would Shoot Protestors Who Came To His House Shot Fellow Cop
AR state police arrested Salyers for manslaughter a month after the local department called Hutton’s death accidental.

If there was ever an example of why believing bullshit is truly dangerous..............
Even if the guy at the door was ANTIFA, he wasn't doing anything threatening to justify any force. This is just well armed chicken shit that has been trained to shoot first.
I was referring to believing the 'cops are good people and we need them' myth 
Just kidding, I was referring to the idiot who's scared of antifa.

And is fucking dumb enough to think that someone coming to kill him is going to knock on the front door.
Got an email today from a client who is a cop. He's the guy you want. He about had a breakdown after he had to pull his gun on someone (thought he was going to have to shoot). He works in schools but doesn't write kids up, he call their parents and works with them to stay out of trouble going forward. Etc, etc. He's going to retire early. He was already planning on having a short career but the hate towards cops (and now increased risk to him) is enough. He's already fighting an uphill battle into a headwind to be a good cop. This has been too much.
Now let us see what occurs in practice.
Again the problem is that the SPD has shown over and over that they are unable to use such tools properly. Best and the Mayor ordered the SPD to not use such devices and two nights in a row they did, all while standing behind multiple barriers separating them from demonstrators. So two nights in a row the SPD openly disregarded direct orders. And it wasn't like some there was some immanent incident that required immediate distribution and use of such devices. What triggered the first use was a cop trying to grab an opened umbrella from a demonstrator across the barriers, the resulting tug of war was then declared a riot and the full array of tear gas, pepper spray was released on the whole crowd. They were armed and ready to go with no intent on following orders from the beginning. It was the optics of the SPD openly disobeying orders from the Chief and Mayor that led to the East Precinct be abandoned and the resulting CHOP shitshow.
If they used those tools to protect lives and peace it wouldn't be a problem. But they use them to defend their fragile sense of power.
A judge reversed the law, so I suspect lot of use of chemical agents and less than lethal arms being used
FYI. A study of less than lethal rounds show that 3% of people hit by one die, and 12% have permanent injuries.
Reversed the ordinance? Pending further review or permanently?
Federal judge blocks Seattle law banning crowd control weapons as city braces for tumult
The U.S. Department of Justice, citing Seattle's longstanding police consent decree, argued that banning the use of crowd control weapons could actually lead to more police use of force.

Would be nice if the police had the tools they needed and we're held accountable when they were used indiscriminately.
As I am still nursing a fucked up shoulder I just watched a few hours of a livestream from the downtown protests.
Was basically a loosely packed march until it got near the East Precinct, not exactly sure where as I am not super familiar with the street names the reporter was describing. Cops formed a line, protesters would stay back a good 10 yards. Cops would slowly advance, protesters would backup maintaining the gap. Cops would backup, protestors would advance and maintain the gap. Occasionally the cops would advance rapidly, with no announcement or warning, firing off tear gas and flashbangs. As those in the front of the crowd could not retreat quickly with the crowds behind them they got pepper sprayed and batoned. When things were at a standstill some in the crowd say some very rude things to the police, a few people stepped forward and tried to engage the police in polite conversation. All were ignored unless they got too close and were summarily pepper sprayed. Almost all the protesters I could see where wearing helmets, masks and respirators. One random dude seemed to walk out of an alley, seemingly without any knowledge of what was going on, no ppe whatsoever. Upon the shock of realizing where he was he dropped a Nalgene bottle and as it rolled towards the police, he reached for it and was pushed to the ground an pepper sprayed.
I couldn't tell what happened but one protestor did something deemed arrestable, guessing he threw something. The whole crowd was gassed, flashbanged and pepper sprayed as the police advanced to arrest the individual. 4 cops unloaded on him with pepper spray as he layed curled up on the ground. The reported retreated to safe place and I couldn't tell what happened after that.
Eventually the crowd seemed to get directed away from the East precinct and the police backed off as the march turned north. At one point it stalled and a lady came out yelling that here kids were trying to nap and things moved on again. The reporter stopped at an aid station to see to some wounds from flash bangs. He didn't show his injuries but others there had some nasty wounds, basically looked like they got hit by a paintball that also burned them.

So business as usual.
Instigators with no accountability.

OK. Seems like the majority of protestors called it a day. Police are now holding a static line. No tear
Watch it.
Really good tactical analysis by the reporter.

This has gotten wierd. All this really does anymore is provide an opportunity for cops to show the world that they're kind of assholes. Anyone who cared to pay attention has enough in the bank now to draw from. What are those cops 'protecting?' Their precinct building? That protest line is just there because of the cops now.
If there was ever a case for white people having no rhythm, it's that chick with the drumsticks. Jesus, get a metronome.
The soccer game in the background is a nice touch.
Beats covid in a bar on a saturday night I guess.

Chief's Statement Regarding Judge Robart's Temporary Restraining Order on the City Council’s Ban on Crowd Control Tools - SPD Blotter
I wanted to update you that early this morning, the federal judge overseeing the Consent Decree issued a temporary order halting the implementation of City Council’s recently passed legislation that banned SPD from using less-lethal crowd management tools that had previously been approved by the...

Well not being allowed to play with their toys the cops will probably pull right back, and having more time on their hands I'd expect more agent provocateur fun and games.
Twenty-one officers were injured after being hit by bricks, rocks and other explosives, according to the Seattle Police Department, which declared the demonstrations a riot around 4:30 p.m.

Be careful on your next bike ride. Apparently rocks are much more dangerous than we thought. Never know when they might go off.

Please explain, if one were to already own a home in an area, how do they become priced out?
Taxes.
Explain? California passed Prop 13 in 1978 that only allows property taxes to rise a maximum 1% a year. So if your property taxes are $4000 a year, it can only go up 1% each year. CA property taxes are based on purchase price, or reassessed value from lets say an addition, as the value has changed. You will take your current tax rate with the amount of the addition, so if the addition was $250K to complete, that much would be added to the current tax amount. If the home purchase price of that tax payer was $150K and they sold the home for $1.5M the new owner will pay approx $15K a year in property taxes. Now the cool thing about our tax law, is it could be gifted once or taken with you within certain counties here in CA. So if your tax base is $4000K a year and you sell for $1M, you can take that tax amount with you if the purchase price falls near the sale of you homes price. You can also take over your immediate family's tax base one time. So you can purchase your parents home at current market value, you are allowed to keep their tax base.
Anyways, I sold my Tahoe place last year.
No tax overrides in CA? I am paying 2x in taxes what I was paying 9 years ago now. Despite the 2% tax rate increase cap in MA, my citizens volunteer for tax overrides for gigantic projects each year, plus homes are re-assessed every year aggressively upwards to make sure the town has enough $ for its evergrowing budget.
Fire insurance
Utilities
Reassessments
That mexican lady we hire to keep an eye on the place (not sure we trust her, do we honey?) keeps bitching about living wage or some nonsense
You can understand and illustrate tax law but can't seem to get a grip on opposition to DHS and LEO overreach?

Prop 13 was set to help out elderly and retirees from outrageous tax hikes. As soon as they sell, it's taxed on purchased price for the new owner. They tried to override it during the last election but it didn't pass, thank goodness.
It's a wealth transfer from young people to The Olds. It'll bite California in the ass.
Fire insurance, Utilities rates rise no matter what, not based on income or more or lees peeps moving into an area.
Reassessments, if nothing changes in your residence it can only go up 1% a year.
The only Mexican lady in our house is my wife, yes she is in fact Mexican.
That's not the point. I'm betting you saw more inflation in your utilities on you house up here (rate wise, not payout since you didn't live here full time) than your real home.
You obviously haven't been paying attention to fire insurance in wooded areas in the last two years. If you can even GET fire insurance any more
You didn't answer my question.
There's no will about it. It's created home price hyperinflation at every transfer. The county I live in is pretty much a sanctioned mob at this point.
