Hasley Cyn Rd and Sedona do not intersect. Sedona is a light on the Old Road by BofA. Maybe that is why they can’t find it. Sounds like someone left the program.
Incredible lost a weapon. This should be an automatic DQ as this person has shown they cannot be responsible.
How embarrassing, bet they wish that Blue Line was a lot Thinner right about now…
Now filming in SCV:
Reno 911!
They were probably doing a training exercise that involved running with full gear and the weapon popped out of its holster. The problem is that you want the weapon to be secure but the officer still has to be able to quickly draw it if they need it. We’ve come a long way in the past couple decades with active and passive retention holsters but when the equipment is brand new or very old it doesn’t always function correctly.
This trainee is someone who stepped up to keep their community safe despite vociferous opposition from the liberal media. It’s a brutal, thankless job but one that has to be done, so kudos to them for having the courage to take this on. I’m sure this incident will be seared indelibly into their memory and something like this will never happen to them again.
Well said.
Liberal media, there’s your dog whistle. How is that your so called “Liberal Media” has also given unprecedented and respectful coverage of the young police officer tragically killed this week? The coverage has been everywhere and it’s warranted however, you conveniently don’t mention it because it doesn’t fit your skewed narrative does it.
Self awareness is obviously not your strong suit.
The liberal media helped put Gascon in office, and his policies have led to the current surge in crime and thus that officer’s death. Yes, they’re very “respectful” of their victims. That’s how they reel in useful fools like Alice.
Alice in Wonderland, the main reason the deceitful lying Liberal media has continued broadcasting the story is he is a person of “color” & he was a Cop. Decent humans brutalized by barbaric creatures should always be mentioned and not covered up to protect those constantly committing crimes! Lying with PC/euphemisms is deceitful & unhealthy for decent societies, which you seem to support with your constant excusing! Wake up, not Woke up, be kind by telling the truths /facts!
