  • You're the second person in two days to mention comics that were a big influence on me years ago, but which I don't currently intentionally mimic. I guess it's just in my art's DNA now.

  • I acknowledged that in the comment.

    Judging by other top level comments, it seems many people do indeed simply accept it as something that actually happened.

  • I'm sure some cops somewhere still do that, but I can't remember the last time I saw a uniformed patrol officer not using some kind of retention holster. Even the old fashion leather holsters had thumbsnaps every time I've seen them for the kind of role.

  • Just like the fake story gets repeatedly posted.

  • The number was, in fact, zero. (The story is made up. It circulates around every so often with the same mugshot that came from a real, but very different case.)

  • A duty holster will have a retention lock of some kind, usually a thumblock or button. Thats what you'd expect a uniformed patrol officer to use on a belt kit. A detective or some other LEO that wears more business casual clothes or formal clothes will more likely to have a holster without a retention, but they aren't normally making traffic stops.

    Not really worth a deep dive since the story is made up in the first place.

  • What does that have to do with a retention holster design?

    Also, yes, fake story. Mugshot is clipped from a real and very different case.

  • Fake story. Mugshot is from this case.

    I know I'm factchecking a shitpost, but I get the feeling a lot of people would otherwise think this is a real story.

  • While it is true that rote memorization is a terrible thing for schools to focus on, I find it interesting that the discussion immediately jumped to "America bad" with a presumption it was a unique American practice. The many comments from around the world show it seems to be a more widespread practice.

  • TIL the US Government once released its own video game to inform, educate, and recruit prospective soldiers.

  • I think when it first released in 2002 they would have taught two inches above the wound. High and tight for all purposes came later as the default trained procedure.

  • Oh, final thing: I am pretty sure this was the first online PC FPS that modelled that M203 projectiles must travel a certain distance before the explosive charge will detonate, so taking out someone with an M203 round to the face, non explosively, became a way to humiliate people, as you either had to be pretty skilled to do it , or your opponent had to have very poor situational awareness.

    Oh wow, it is maybe a first. I remember doing that in Modern Warfare 2 quite a bit, but didn't realize how much this game pre-dates it.

    A first person scifi FPS-RPG. Developed in Ukraine. Very unique experience wrapped inside of a concept that's been done before. High slavjank tolerance required.

  • People bought mail order houses, which I think confirms the popularity of lightweight and portable big purchase items.

  • I have had a table from K-Mart for at least 10 years. Every 3 years I sand the top and restain it and it keeps on doing table things like a champ.

    Stargate SG1 was so versatile. Somehow it pulled off episodes as different as ‘Heroes’ and ‘200’, with each feeling perfectly at home in the show.
