Sorry but I do not see the humor in this thread or in my post. I said that Police are people too and they have issues. If you are not aware being a Cop is a very stress related job. Every time you put that uniform on and go to work , you are putting your life on the line. Maybe this guy just cracked. It does happen. Being a Cop in a large city, especially LA is stressful.

Sorry, but being a cop isn't even listed as one of the 10th most dangerous jobs. Being a farmer is more likely to kill you than being an officer. Learn the facts and stop watching too much TV.

Occupation --------------------------------Fatal Work Injuries per 100,000 FTE Workers-------------------- Number of Fatal Work Injuries

1. Fishers and Related Fishing Workers-------------------------------------121.2----------------------------------------------40

2. Logging Workers ---------------------------------------------- 102.4 ---------------------------------------------- 64

3. Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers ---------------------------------------------- 57.0 ---------------------------------------------- 72

4. Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors ---------------------------------------------- 41.2 ---------------------------------------------- 34

5. Roofers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31.8 ----------------------------------------------56

6. Structural Iron and Steel Workers ---------------------------------------------- 26.9----------------------------------------------16

9. Electrical Power Line Installers----------------------------------------------20.3----------------------------------------------27

10. Taxi Drivers and Chauffeurs----------------------------------------------19.7----------------------------------------------63

I'm not for innocents being killed, but something has to be done. The only thing that makes a difference in these days and ages, are the loss of life. Since we can not fix the corrupted law through the corrupted law, the only way to is now by going outside of the law. It's a sad fact. Innocents will die in life. It happens. But as any smart person knows, Destruction brings upon new life and new ways of life. This isn't something that doesn't apply to humans. We follow this universal law.

It's a sad reality that this is something that is needed at the moment. Unless some brave high ranking government figure steps in and somehow starts a war on the corruption of our police force and the others that are a part of it, the only other way is through vigilantism. Talking to them or going through the courts won't do anything. We've seen it plenty of times already. The cops usually just get suspended with pay, and no one learns their lesson, except for the civiilizan; and that lesson is that you can't fight the law with the law and expect to win.

Until cops are held to a higher standard, and are punished to an extreme way that makes all other officers fall into line, corruption will always be rampant. If they know they can get away with it, those in power will do what ever they can do.

Most US citizens never took an oath to follow and obey the law. We just try to do the best we can. Those who have taken the oath though, such as government officials and police officers, should be held in an even higher degree of accountability for when they break it. Instead, it is the opposite, and they get away with breaking the law, while citizens get the worst of it.

Dude, are you trolling? Ya, never said accountants had a dangerous job. I did list the ones that are more dangerous than a cops. Who cares what a family thinks. I go by what the real world is based off of. Statistics show that being an officer isn't as deadly as many other jobs. It's just people think it is due to all the TV they watch. Some area's might be bad, but over all, it isn't. I don't look at just 1 part of the puzzle though to get my ideas. I look at what is called ALL the puzzle.

My uncle is an ex-sherrif. He quit due to the reason this guy is going on his rampage. He couldn't handle how ****ed the law really is on the inside, and wasn't willing to "play the game" to be buddy buddy with the others on the field who were doing wrong. He quit and became a pastor to try and help in a different way. He didn't quit because he thought it was dangerous. He has even told me he was rarely if ever in any real danger. But the constant abuse of the law by the others in his precinct, and the general abuse of it by all others, was not something he was going to put up with. He said he felt more threatened by those on "his side" than any encounter he has ever had while on duty. Whistle blowers that are police who call out other police are seen as a threat by those in the blue.

I never said you did. Those are my words. Keep up the name calling. I posted a source that that shows that Police Officers are in the top 10.

Yup, 18 compared to 19 is more..... Police make either 11th or 12th, but are not among the top 10.

Yup it is a shame that it leads to such actions like in this case. It would be unrealistic to think that this can just be cleared up. I read somewhere that they also closed the air traffic to news crews: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/02/manhunt-faa-orders-media-copters-to-leave-.html

What you said also applies to other countries. In Europe some countries like the UK have been slacking lately like in the Murdoch case, and it is only the lower tier people that get the stick for it.

The solution is easy, give cops more guns.

The solution is better training and better background checking and psych testing.

Yup, 18 compared to 19 is more..... Police make either 11th or 12th, but are not among the top 10.

http://www.smartplan...n-america/11396

Here is the full list of work-related deaths in 2011 (per 100,000 workers):

Fisherman (121.2)

Loggers (102.4)

Police Officers (18.6)

Construction Workers (15.7)

Again, you are not too bright. That isn't the top 10 most dangerous jobs. National Average isn't even a job! They are just listing what jobs have had some deaths right there. Go look at an actual 10 Most Deadliest Jobs list. It doesn't list police.

Here is the actual list that you need to look at, PAGE 5. http://www.bls.gov/n...se/pdf/cfoi.pdf

This is the document that your link got it's information from. If you bothered to fully understand it, you will see that what you posted, is in fact, not the top dangerous jobs. PAGE 5 of that link does show what they are though.

Here is a pic of the page.

How does that make them #5?

It doesn't. He is trolling despite the fact that I have proven him wrong. He does this often when presented with evidence that counters what he "thinks". Rather annoying because discussion can't move forward.

http://www.smartplan...n-america/11396

On this source it does according to work related deaths per 100,000 workers. I, like I said am an ex cop and until you put on a uniform and place your life on the line every day you go to work, you can post all the stats you want. On the net one can find a source to back up just about anything. I wore the uniform and know the stress that is related to that Job. The OP is not about what number on a list a Cop's job is but about an officer that apparently cracked. All I said was that it could have been related to stress. Being a Marine or serviceman is not on that list either but do not try and tell me that a Marine's job is mot dangerous.

It does not mater, as it is OT. I know first hand how much stress is involved with being a Police Officer. I don't care what stats say about how dangerous the job is. Unless you are/were a cop in a large city you have no idea. That was my only point that I was trying to make. That it could have been due to stress. Sort of PTSD. It does happen to Police as well as the Military. One reason that Major Departments have Psychologists on staff to help Police Officers. Now then, I am finish discsuiing what place in someone stats a policemen belongs. I will only post to the OP, I wish everyone would do the same.

You clearly are for innocent people being killed, as you stated that "something has to be done", that the only thing that makes a difference is the "loss of life" and that the "only way" is by going "outside the law". I've read plenty of ridiculous statements in my time but that is certainly one of the worst offenders. That's the sort of insanity promoted by gun advocates, with the notion that the government has to be overthrown if it is considered to have stepped out of line. The answer to society's problems is not to go around killing people.

The worst part about the mis- identification is that hes reported to be in a Nissan Titan, not a Toyota Tacoma like they shot up.

Go Go LA cops, typical government corruption at work.

    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some do not plug in at all and instead get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.
    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine by Sayan Sen Building a PC is undoubtedly difficult nowadays but with this epic combo deal, Newegg is trying to make it as easy for you as it is possible. If you are making a new one or even upgrading an old system to a new Windows 11 device, this combo bundle is truly unmissable as you get AMD's Ryzen 9800X3D, a compatible X870 motherboard, a 240mm AIO liquid cooler and finally a Samsung 990 PRO SSD all for under $1000 (purchase link under the specs table down below). This should beat out the newly launched Steam Machine from Valve in terms of performance and performance per dollar especially if you are willing to set Linux up on it. Essentially with this combo you will get the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-core 3D V cache CPU, Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD, the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX Motherboard, and finally the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
