Brexit
Oh eh that was unexpected. I honestly thought that Hystery would condemn Brexit as a conservative proposition. But I can certainly share his opinion that we live in interesting time. I just hope it won't end up in a massive war clusterfuck involving this time truly the whole world.

NYPD Rainbow Colored Ford Explorer
Different opinions has always been OK, no? Well that Explorer is actually looking better with this livery. Me personally would never drive it around (a cop car has to look like a cop car), but I like the idea of the NYPD showing their support.

Speaking about European police, here's a nice video showcasing brand new Russian police tactics against melee armed suspects. Only kidding. What a F-n lame...

CANADA ANTHEM
There are other ways to show that, of course if that even needs to be shown. Two words don't change a thing. It's only a profanation to satisfy the electorate. A country doesn't become 'gender-neutral' if the word thy is no longer present in the anthem. I side with Scalia, some things don't need to be changed with the society :D

1 firefighter dead, another injured in shooting
Arming EMTs is a one-way uphill route. First comes pepper spray, then a tazer, and before you know the driver has a shotgun and EMTs have sidearms, because the violence will not decrease. I think that's might be a suitable path for the US though, where even a mental hospital security officer is considered a LEO, but the overall idea of medics having weapons just sounds plain wrong to me.

Is that the change we can believe in? Auukeeeeey.

[REL] Realism Dispatch Enhanced 2.2.1
Is there a way to drag those files which add vehicles from the mod? I know it ain't a nice thing to ask but my PC is having a complete breakdown, it can't handle the whole mod, so right now I'm hoping at least for those added cars...

New Florida Highway Patrol Vehicle hitting the streets
I'll pretend I never saw the post above and keep thinking Lundy&Illusionary are two holy gods of cool cars really? a delicious-flat-chest tiny-ass Japanese sportcar? meh Regarding the FHP Charger I can't really say it's a breakthrough or something. Another stealth unit, just like many others. What makes it stand out?

European police
A month late for a discussion, but the US police had their share of burned-by-peaceful-citizens-oppresed-by-racisit-police-and-peacefully-defending-their-rights cars. Come to think of it, many countries had similar issues... Apart from Russia :P If you even touch a cop during a political protest, you'll geta 2-5 years inside. Burn a car? Never happened.

Stabbing of two french police officers: the following to Orlando
How come that's the following? You mean ban the knives? Anyway I didn't get why a convicted terrorist was roaming free and not doing his 25 year long term inside. On a bright note, French cops did great. Two innocent lives out of two is a wonderful result.

Worst mass shooting in US history
Don't forget that your country doesn't do too bad either when it comes to crime rates, considering you have Mexico, where the world 'legal' is a joke, right next to you. On the other hand, mass shootings are the US phenomena. Has to do something with the people, I guess. Sheckley had predicted this 70 years ago. Solving it definitely is much more complicated than 'increasing gun control'.

Worst mass shooting in US history
I agree, I trust and I support, and yet when I'm attacked at night in an alleyway I'm not going to lie down and wait for the police to arrive, even though I believe they will promptly solve my murder. They're not 'random citizens'. Switzerland has compulsory army service for men.

Worst mass shooting in US history
Why? I doubt sexual orientation determines anything in this case. I know gay guys who are weapon instructors employed by the military (in the States, not in Russia). It's no use second-guessing right now, of course. But there already was an officer, who did his best to protect people. Imagine if he had at least two-three (out of a 100 patrons -- I believe that's a reasonable number) armed citizens to help. Maybe I'm wrong, but the whole idea of one person killing tens of innocents with no real means to stop him makes me mad.

Worst mass shooting in US history
And that's how great it worked out: >licensed security guard >had a license to own an automatic weapon (hard to get, right?) >was under a fruitless FBI investigation >shot people in a gun free zone. What is required right now is to restrict weapons even further, I guess.
-
Worst mass shooting in US history
And yet many, many people blame conservatives and 2Amendment, completely ignoring the circumstances. I wonder if at least 10% of the club patrons were armed, how long would it take to take that bitch down.

European police
Thanks for your input. I believe me and Hystery understood each other. At least I certainly understood his reasons and have nothing to discuss further.

Guess all my points can be covered by it. Nothing to argue about then In that case I do hope you're ready for the world where what you do is what the government tells you to do. Or maybe it will work better in Europe. Maybe not. I just hope I'll die before my world dies :)

European police
Apparently you keep forgetting I'm not a proud American, eh? :D But from what I've learned the US have much much much less employees protection that Europe (and Russia), many of your points above are a reality for them. So, let's take a look at it... 1. How much is the present minimum amount? 2. 15 months of your Euro salary... That's a lot. But OK, that's not fair if someone asks me, illegal employment termination is illegal, pay to your employees what you owe them. 3. ELEVEN HOURS OF REST?! What this even mean? here you have 8 hours work day plus 1 rest hour. I work 11-hour days with not much compensation. 4. Yep. that's perfectly fine. It's a private matter who to hire. In the US you can be fired at will as well (at least that was true during my employment in B-more). 5. What it even is? I don't know no such leave around 'ere. There are annual 25 days-off (35 in my case), and my company additionally offers you 5 sick leave days with no medical paperwork required. Other than that, you're on your own. 6. Again I honestly don't know what it is, it's nonexistent here. A good employer cares about his workers (we have a company medic and a huuuge insurance policy), a bad doesn't. 7. No such thing here, like I said - annual leave, that's it. I doubt something like that is a law in the US... Maybe a labor contract clause at best. 8. No such obligation here. We manage. 9. That's not good, true. 10. That's a really different system from what we have here (cops work shifts and call be called at any time on emergencies), so I can't compare. have no clue about the US either. 11. Uuum that's not good. Well, 5 out of 11. Companies move out? You know why? Because they loose a lot of money on workers and a lot of money on taxes (to support the very same immigrants you welcome that much, and to pay for the cars people burn down as well). They will move. It's their right. Companies are created by owners for owners, not by people for people. If they fire people they don't need them. Cruel, I know. I was lucky to find this job, and I might loose it, so I'm not speaking from some entitled-rich-who-doesn't-know-how-poor-people-live position (in fact I earn less in a month that the unemployment aid in France). All I can say that if you press the business too hard, it will move out completely. And then, lol, then you'll have Venezuela. Again, you ignore the history. The largest country on earth for century had been socialist. Jobs were guaranteed, no private companies, no one was allowed to leave the country, everyone was paid the same amount of salary, healthcare, education and housing was free. And now you have Russia. This all has been tried and failed. I have the right to say this because me and my family have been through this and not much other people in other countries have.

The old Socialist way is to do what your government wants you to do. And Holland is a socialist. He somehow skipped the mass murder by the security service part, but he'll manage. Seriously tho, is that true that under current labour laws there's an extremely high unemployment rate in France? If that is the case I really can't see why people defend the old system. It's like "we have no jobs but at least we have our rights which don't help the economy at all"?

Only if our motorists responded to the sirens like that, I'd have no problems dealing with the LSPDFR AI.
