I'm rather disturbed by the simplicity of the LA Sheriff's training center. As well as the culture revealed by "The Shootist" bar, and the sentence fragment "The purpose of shooting is to hit" as seen on the California Specialized Training Institute firing range wall.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail, etc.
I have had guns pointed at me for disturbingly long periods of time during routine traffic stops by both LAPD and the LA Sheriff's department - even after fully complying and being otherwise friendly, helpful, and cordial.
Even after politely requesting that they stop pointing deadly weapons at me.
And no, I and my friends don't look like criminals, scumbags or drug users. We were always polite, cautious and calm, keeping our hands in view, complying with the officers, not making any sudden movements or otherwise giving them any reason to escalate to that stage of confrontation.comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.46446-1097466Sun, 06 Nov 2005 19:23:08 -0800loquaciousBy: odinsdream

Actually, no. Simunition and paintball are actually quite different. <a href="http://www.simunition.com/index.php?section_id=51">Simunition</a> is basically a bullet except that the lethal projectile is replaced with a non-lethal paint round. The cartridges come in .38 and 9mm calibres that are actually fired out of most real weapons. The 5.56mm round (used in the M16 and M4) exists as a simunition but is only available to the military. The effect is a more accurate simulation of combat.comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.46446-1097730Mon, 07 Nov 2005 07:06:37 -0800C17H19NO3By: Pollomacho

Let's try this in the right thread this time:
The OC's tactical training center has a Carl's Jr. restaurant, complete with manager's office. I would assume the most common drill for this location would be an attack leading to bad guys attempting to break the manager's safe. With that in mind, let's just say I was a little surprised that dark irony was not lost on the <a href="http://www.clui.org/clui_4_1/ondisplay/emergency/exhibit/images/ocsheriff/165_6554.JPG">trainers</a>.comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.46446-1097735Mon, 07 Nov 2005 07:12:04 -0800PollomachoBy: five fresh fish

It doesn't hurt too bad, actually. Just a little bit more than a paintball does. It does leave a nice bruise, however.comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.46446-1098099Mon, 07 Nov 2005 11:41:24 -0800C17H19NO3By: odinsdream

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
