krit86lr Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Was it part of your training LOTW? lmao At least you didn't mase yourself on accident (like I did once). I wanted to spray the mase to see if was a stream, mist, etc...just curious, right? I sprayed it and a nice gust of wind came and blew it right back in my face! I couldn't open my eyes for about 15 minutes. My friends made fun of me for weeks! It was hilarious....

lokoike Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i got subjected to being pepper sprayed and tasered in the last month. damn those hurt. ive got the burns to prove it. Wow, that blows! So, what exactly is being pepper sprayed and tasered supposed to teach you? Or is it just entertainment for your higher-ups? Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!!

1984 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 it is supposed to help us articulate in court exactly how it feels for a suspect to experience it, and helps us understand how painful it is so that we wont wantonly deploy them on suspects. the taser completely incapacitates you and is painful-but only lasts 5 seconds a blast. the pepper spray is BRUTAL and lasted 45 minutes-feels like hot coals being rubbed into your eyes-but you can still fight and is not incapacitating. i think i would rather the taser-but some people say otherwise.

1984 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 lol! we have use of force training where we punch a punching bag until exhausted, then lie down on a mat and have to fight two of our classmates to get off of the mat. its training to help build our stamina and physical strength if/when we are engaged in a life or death encounter. unfortunately, this kind of training is needed to perform our duties.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 so what is it exactly that you do? a cop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 yes, im in the police academy. its a lot of fun. tons of tests though. have to take piles of law, specialized drivers training, computer training, firearms, physical, practical scenarios, lots of polishing, ironing, shining, marching, working out, etc. i cant speak for the US, but in Canada it is a great job. Great pay, lots of benefits, pension, etc. with a ton of variety, and lots of room to learn and grow. the latter is why i joined. i actually took a pay cut.

1984 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 the spray was much worse than the taser in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Grow a coupla varieties of hot chillies here and after chopping some up I have inadvertantly rubbed an itchy eye and blimey that burns like hell just from the small residue left on my fingers. Even washing your hands after chopping them up doesn't get rid of the residue.Oh well,you live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY EYES ARE BURRRRNNINNGGG!!!! Anyway, it does make sense that they make you do it (but I'm sure it doesn't make it feel any better ). I never knew how much work and dedication it takes to be a police officer; and with so little credit, you people are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984 Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 well, training is getting more intense. i have a black eye, purple bruises from my neck to my feet and lots of skin torn off my feet-this all from grappling and boxing training. spent the the last couple of days and tommorrow in simunition training-basically we are put through scenarios and encounter deadly force threats and have to deal with them. they set it up real realistic, and its rough and tumble, heart rate flies, but lots of fun. today i got "shock knifed"-basically a plastic knife that when they touch you, you get electricuted and it actually feels like a cut. hmmmmm. one classmate went to the hospital today. only one so far. a few puked and we had one go into convulsions from the effort, but hes good now. good times.
