This looks so much fun!!!!! It calls to my inner hunter-gatherer spirit so strongly that I want to go down there right now, fish up some clams and cook'em on a large bonfire

I have my share of NYPD stories...

Where on earth is the dang fire?!?!?

LOL I see that the spectating Lemurs are also getting excited, and they are like:

"Whoooeey!! Go get'em Joey, Go get'em!! Kick'em in the balls 'till he can't pee straight!!! Whooooeeey!!!"

I remember going to GO training Schools after my regular elementary school. It was fun at first but later on all I end up doing was play '5 connect' on the GO board

This is just all kinds of quirkiness LOL!

Gah, can't delete previous error.

When I was in Korea my family hired a moving company, and I got to witness this fine art in person. These guys are no joke. They are seriously skilled in their craft. And YES, they have redefined packing and moving into mater craft.

But for all the work they do and hours of training they've put in, they aren't paid nearly as enough as they should. It's like watching a City bus driver weaving the big bulky bus through jammed traffic and tight corners with finesse and precision, yet at the end of the day it's just another day at work for him.

Also keep in mind that in Asia there is no tipping culture, so they don't make any more money than their fixed pay. In Korean society it is in our tradition to serve the movers with a meal and a few beverages, but that's as far as getting anything extra from their job.

I have huge respects for what these guys do in Asia and I hope they get all the attention and the recognition they deserve.

How did this discussion go from LAPD corruption to Chinese economic dominance? Oh you guys...

Just by looking at this report I see symptoms of a cult. It seems the LAPD is more about keeping the team than protecting civilians. It's understandable seeing how crazy and fucked up the streets of LA can be. You do have to stick to one another, but not at the expense of civilians whom you are all sworn to protect and getting paid from.

Also, blasting away at innocent civilians seem bat shit crazy. Hearing this report and seeing how the police chief brush it off like it's nothing makes me sick to my stomach.

LAPD is a rogue organization at this point. They are fixing their own judge rulings and making their own rules. This is some serious shit.

Open firing on a random vehicle is something you'd hear about in Iraq or Afghanistan field reports. It's an indication of how paranoid and unprepared these officers are. I'm not saying that the job is easy. Hell I wouldn't do what they do in a day in a million years. Obviously it's a warzone down there and the stress is taking its toll on the officers. But letting this go on and accepting as 'normal' is completely unacceptable.

LOL WTF?!? This is what happens when /b/ become parents.

Oh SH*t! Major Nostalgia Trip!!!
