  1. We could paint the town, you and me?
  2. Personally, I wouldn't put my dog through chemo, they don't understand what's going on, and, they will feel horrible, then, if they survive the chemo, life expectancy is usually not long. I had 2 dogs with auto immune deficiency, they were puppies, would get sick for 3-4 days at a time, many trips to Ohio State and my vet, 3 months and 4k later, they "grew" into a immune system, had the not, I would have put them down. It is rough, the best advice I got was to spoil them until it was too bad for them to tolerate any more. Good luck with what ever choice you make, any of them will be hard.
  3. I'll post this, it is not my own, and I will include a link, I think it hits all points..... https://www.thepolicewifelifeblog.com/blog/just-a-cop-you-signed-up-for-that What will it take to see the truth about law enforcement? Our Law Enforcement Officers are being murdered as well as laying down their lives on duty every 58 hours. They are being shot while sitting at traffic lights. Executed in coffee shops and on their lunch breaks. Lured into ambushes and blown away while removing debris from the roadway, or while responding to an alarm call which was a set up. They are being killed in their own driveways, while off duty. They are being shot inside their own preceincts. If celebrities or professional athletes were being targeted, shot and murdered to the tune of one dead every 58 hours there would be an instant demand for answers and protection. There would be a national cry to stop the violence before it impacted reality tv or sports center. Regardless of proven statistics which tell us otherwise, our officers continue to get blamed as a whole for the actions of less than one percent*. Regardless of common sense in a world where we have all encountered a bad mechanic, doctor, plumber, we blame ALL cops for the few. Regardless of countless corrupt priests, teachers, crooked judges and lawyers, we do not condemn their entire profession, it's asinine to even consider. But with law enforcement, it is instant condemnation of all. What exactly does an officer have to do for you to say his/her life has worth? What will it take for you to see the family waiting at home, praying theirs isn’t the next officer down? What will it take for the citizens of this country to say without them, who will make these sacrifices? Will you? Are you ready to be the target? Are you ready to line up your family and friends and know one of you will not come home every other day? Our law enforcement officers are humans. When will it be enough to say something’s got to give? Even for those who hate the police….you’ll be the first to dial 911 when you need them and you will expect them to run lights blazing to your rescue, after all, you pay their salary. What happens when they say, sorry, it’s too dangerous, you’re on your own. You hate us anyway, so do as you see fit. YOU stand in front of the bullet and protect your own family. You pry your mangled wife out of the wreckage you caused while drunk and give her CPR in front of your children. You stand in the pouring rain in the dead of night on an expressway and protect your own car from being hit by a semi until the tow truck gets there. You unlock your own car you left your keys in. You change your own tire when 8 months pregnant in 102 degree heat. You stand in front of your own abusive husband and his weapon and his fist and tell him to leave your home without harming you. You get in your own car and race to stop someone who stole from you or hit your car a few miles back. You enter your neighborhood store and approach a masked man with a shotgun and reason with him not to kill you or those in the store. You go knock on the neighbor’s door who has a warrant, a house full of weapons and a sign on the door that says “don't tread on me”. You watch for drunks out of control on the highway in an ice storm. You pray they don't kill you. You respond to suicide calls and cut teenagers from makeshift nooses in their garages or scrape their brain matter out of the soles of your boots. You tell their parents what happened while they were out socializing, again. You walk into a house with no power in 105 degree heat containing the bodies of an entire family, including babies, now maggot infested and unidentifiable by anything other than the stench of rotten death. You walk up to cars who have nearly run you off the road only to be met with a gun in your face and no time to react. You try and coax a brutally beaten and savagely raped teenager the same age as your own daughter out of the closet where she was left to die as she holds a knife to her own throat. You convince her tomorrow will be better. You hate the police? You have no use for them? You think they’re worthless? Do it yourself. Worry about it all on your own. You surely can do better. You surely are wiser than those lazy, corrupt, doughnut eating fools you don’t give the time of day to when you hear they were gunned down while you went on about your business. Please, give them a rest and do it yourself. You might want to hug your family and have your affairs in order before you head out, there's a very real chance you’ll never make it home, of course that’s no big deal….you signed up for that, and my tax dollars allow me to ignore your worth. After all, you're just a cop. Oh, and you sure as hell better do it all perfectly, every single time. After all, you're not human anymore. You're just a cop. No one cares if you get it right...but you sure as hell better never get it wrong...because a good cop who did get it right will get his head blown off in an entirely different state if you screw up. That goes for you too, by the way. Better pray all 740,000 do right by that badge today, if not... It's all on you, because all cops are bad cops, right?

  4. ^^^^THIS^^^^ , so very true, every bit of it. I could only wish I could have said it as eloquently.
  5. While I am for dash cams, as I contract for a couple manufacturers for the installation of said items, I wish everyone would buy them. Had a camera been in place, we would have had audio, and possibly video, and the deceased's family would say that it was altered. FWIW, the agency I work for full time, no working camera=cruiser gets dead lined till it's working.
  6. Hmmmm, looks unarmed....
  7. 521 at the wheels on a fat tune, I give -0- fucks if it looks gay, it helps to lure in the unsuspecting.
  8. Damn cops...... they're every place, got pinched for 87 in a 45 construction zone in PA, pinched for 86 in a 65 locally, thankfully, I have the ability to talk my way out of a ticket............
  9. I don't think rich has anything to do with it, look at the list of sponsors at The end. I think Ken Block got rich.
  10. Just got my new snow tires on......... http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h138/rfrf5500/Marauder%20Cab/photo4_zps383ba419.jpg
  11. It's Detroit, seems like normal activity.
  12. The problem with this would be the lack of good placement for the device, I didn't see anything suitable in the pictures. I would however, say that there are enough members on this board that we could work in shifts to cut down on trespassers.
  13. $100 and they are insured if they damage it or loose it somehow. Your toolman should be able to move it with the lift on his truck for a few $$$ as well.
  14. ^^^THIS^^^ , pretty much spot on, race had -0- to do with anything. The bottom line, when the police tell you to put the gun down, you comply. I don't believe the "victim" did anything illegal, but he did do something stupid, coupled with not complying with a direct order while at gunpoint. In today's climate, that gets you killed...... obviously as is the case here. When you factor in the things that happen on a daily basis with people and guns, shootings going on everywhere, add that to the amount of law enforcement that apparently has a target on it's back and has for the last year or 2, these guys want to go home after their shift, not be gunned down by someone who very well may have a rifle. Kudo's for these 2 officers, they didn't wait for back-up, they dealt with the situation, had it have been a active shooter, targeting customer's, these are the guys I want to respond to the call. If people were inside and getting shot at, and this all played out as it did, we would not be discussing this at all. It's sad that the kid that got killed had his whole life in front of him, and did something stupid that got him killed, but in the end, the responsibility falls on his shoulders.

    Safe move

    10 years ago maybe, too many nut jobs out there for me to invite strangers to my house. I vote for calling Vance's and seeing who they use.
  16. Unfortunately, you cannot get diminished value in Ohio, just went through this in December, had to get a 34k mile vehicle totaled, because I knew it would never be the same and I would be fucked with carfax.
  17. Before they fuck you. Remember, if your car is ever damaged, and insurance decides to fix it, having this little strike against you VIN, you may as well have a fucking salvage title, people will run away from it.
  18. And other "witness's" have a different turn of events. The bottom line..... If the LEO is in the wrong, and killed someone on purpose, he will, one day, be judged. None of us will ever witness that, but it will happen.
  19. There were actually LSE's manufactured into 2004, LX Sport Crown Victoria's were manufactured into the 2006 model year. Even though there were 11,052 Marauders made in 2003-2004, there were far less of the LX sports made from 2002-2006, and LSE Merc's made than the Marauder. I always had a soft spot for a Marauder..... had many Vic's and Marqui's, But the Marauders are just "special"..
  20. No dash cam video, apparently new camera's were ordered for the cars and have not been installed, last I heard.
