@MikeBenzCyber Happy birthday, Mike. Love your stuff 👍

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@Kyle36482968 @nicksortor Punctuation is your friend.

@nicksortor 25 years ago, they said never again...

@GBNT1952 As an LEO, I always found it funny when people would say, "I pay your salary". Yeah- but so do I, through the taxes on my own income.

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@GBNT1952 @Amy_Siskind I've never gotten a chance to use this term before, but I think it fits? ...Ratioed.

@Schwalm5132 @TheBaconFather You mean like the old firefighter joke: How can you tell someone is a firefighter? You don't have to- they'll tell you themselves 😁

@ChuckPfarrer @TheReconCast I carried a 4" 686 for the first two years on the job. At 22 yoa, that gun weighed about half as much as I did. It was a hefty beast (and I'm not talking about me...lol).

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@GBNT1952 I just want my tax dollars spent judiciously. Apparently that's too much to ask.

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@Schwalm5132 I hear ya. Born and raised in IL, and I'll likely die here. Would love to move to a more red southern state, but my roots are too deep here with family. I've had to settle with regular visits to states with more sanity.

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@GBNT1952 All are good, but... carried various Glocks for 25 years on the job (Yes, I'm biased). Glock = 👍👍

@Schwalm5132 If you keep watering whiskey down, it eventually ceases being whiskey. Same with education. ("Class" of '68 myself, and this "scale" is an abomination.)

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@Schwalm5132 The whole under-the-desk thing was only to get you to curl up in a ball so you'd be better able to kiss your arse goodbye. (And scare the sh*t out of an already nervous grade schooler.) Ah, those were the days... 😳

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@RealJamesWoods The problem is it's Chi-raq. If you legitimately shoot the dude, even with clear articulation of a perceived threat, and in the presence of irrefutable evidence of said threat, you're likely the one going to jail. Best bet is to avoid the city at all costs.

@angertab Wasn't it Kat Williams who said something to the effect of, "The truth is like rain- it don't GAF who it falls on."?

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@TonySeruga @elonmusk This officer did exactly what he was supposed to do being confronted and charged at by a man armed with an edged weapon. GTF away. A knife can be much more lethal than a handgun at close range. There is almost no such thing as a "one shot stop".

@Schwalm5132 @ColonelTowner My first car was a '72 Triumph Spitfire. Started it like this more than a time or two 😂

@thegabegaines "Resilience science civilian institutions are still catching up to" 💯

"A slow numbness that takes years to set in" 💯

"I talk to God. Thanking him for..
" 💯

I wasn't military; 28 years LE. Been working through this since retirement 8 years ago. Right on 👍

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@AlexBerenson I wondered where that would've come from 😂🤣

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@nickshirleyy @GuntherEagleman Yes, yes- a thousand times YES.

[John Bennett @rexdog8394]

@ChuckPfarrer @benmcbean One of my favorite pics. Currently reading Rogue Heroes by Ben Macintyre; after having watched the series on MGM+ (quite entertaining). (Also read your book many moons ago.)
