Think fast: What would you take?

And I thought MC was sick. Being a cop gives you no better ground to stand on than any other person. My uncle was a captain for Rampart, 66th St., Shootin' Newton, and a few others as well as being one of the lead investigators in the Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan cases and he worked Internal Affairs, busting cops that sound like you. 

One day while in my parents driveway, he showed me the bullet proof windows and bomb proof hood of his car. When I asked him if that was for the bad guys, he said, no, it was for the cops who wanted to kill him.

It's cops like you that help perpetuate the hate and dissent in this world so leave off with your special insight for it impresses no one.

All the best,

Nonoise, explain to me just what part of my post SPECIFICALLY you find worthy of internal affairs investigation! Bear in mind internal affairs ONLY investigates CRIMES committed by policemen. You may not agree with me, but you being the nephew of an officer certainly gives you FAR LESS “ground to stand on” than me, especially being jaded by the influence of an internal affairs uncle. Speaking of that, YES I DO HAVE FAR MORE GROUND TO STAND ON THAN MOST when it comes to this topic, I lived it every single day I worked, for over 25 year, retiring in 2015. The nerve of you to say I don’t! Buddy I earned the right to say the TRUTHS that I said. On that note, just what, in your nephewton wisdom, did I say that was wrong? What lie did I tell? There’s absolutely zero in my post that’s even a bit wrong. But go ahead, enlighten me...

‘’And by the way, you’re full of it, NOBODY has a bomb proof hood, that would keep the explosive force of a bomb planted under a car (which is where the overwhelming majority were planted back when that was a concern) from escaping upward, instead keeping it focused under and into the passenger compartment, where it would cause the most damage to someone in the car.  Seems the one accusing me of being untrue is himself the teller of tall tales.

As a CA native who was lucky enuf to live SoCal to NorCal, it's heartbreaking to watch it burn and threaten lives and what made them ones' lives.
To see it engulf OR as well makes one wonder when it'll stop.
To know it's effecting some of this company....*speechless*

Walk, no, Run and save your skin and that of whom you love...spouse, sig. other, children, pets....

Everything else is just Stuff.
What's paramount is between your ears, driving your legs.

Plan ahead. Having had to evacuate here in n. California twice, now I keep records of everything in the house (spreadsheet) scanned receipt copies, pictures of everything, back up drives in a bank vault with important documents. Boxes of irreplacable family history in boxes in the garage ready to go. Many old photos and slides i got scanned and save digitally. I review my insurance at least annually.

So now I take the spouse, the dog,  laptop, the boxes, a week of clothing and the stash of cash. Blankets, because sleeping in the car is inevitable.  A go bag with water and first aid stuff and an n95 mask.  A portable battery/charger for the phone and If time any small things of value that fit in the car.

Since fires generally mean power outages I keep a battery powered radio and emergency battery packs. 

We lost over 5000 homes in my neck of the woods to fire these last few years. I should probably move!

You've been at this way too long, anotherbob, and it's poisoned your mind. 25 years of policing a status quo created 250 years ago takes it toll on a person, hardening them. When you start out with your "there's one race...." that about summed it all up. Your truths are the rationalizations of a race that fears losing it's dominance on society. You think to share and be accountable threatens your standing, when nothing is farther from the truth. No one should need to kneel on someone's neck to feel superior.

I was wondering when the closet door would come off it's hinges. Feels good to be out in the light for all to see, doesn't it? 

All the best and all I'll say on this for awhile,
