So everyone he pulls over for a traffic violation has to get out of their car?
I'm not sure what their SOP's are .

If training assumed everyone was safe, officers wouldn't survive their first year on the job.

started walking towards the car and the guy got out and shot him in the face
Why did they do this? They're not at war with the drivers, seems like a good way to scare a good cop into shooting someone because of their training
He said they wanted to see how much if any law enforcement experience he had, what he would do and how much training he needs to get him to the place where he needs to be. He also said it taught him a valuable lesson, that is not to take anything for granted, just because you pull someone over for a trivial driving violation, you never know who or what you're getting into. They taught him to open his door, stay behind the door and ask the driver to step out, not to walk up to a car without a care in the world like he did in the scenario. So, personally, I think it helped him learn what he needed to learn.

My son was on the Fire Dept that I retired from for about 4 years, he got selected to attend the LA State Police Academy, so he quit the FD and has been in training for about 7 weeks now. I'm not real excited about it as I worry about his safety. In fact, he told me a story about his first week, they put him in a scenario of pulling over a car for erratic driving, he said he got out and started walking towards the car and the guy got out and shot him in the face before he knew what was going on. The trainer said that's what he expected since he had no prior law enforcement training. My son told me, dad, that's when I knew that this is for real, I said, you bet your arse it's real and it's good you got shot in training and not on the side of the road. The FD has its own level of danger but for the most part, one of them is not being shot at, most people are happy to see the FD as we're there to help. I told him my concerns, but he was hell bent on changing careers, I just keep my mouth shut, act like I support his decision, and pray for his protection but I'm not overjoyed about it.

No, it's definitely trending in that direction but between 1957 and 1966 LSU was 88-135 which averages out to be a .394 winning percentage. McMahon is 57-61 which averages out to be a .483 winning percentage. Heck, McMahon isn't as bad as Press Maravich yet, very close, he was 76-86 so a winning percentage of .469, never won the SEC and never made the NCAA tournament, made the Final 4 of the NIT with Pete in the 69-70 season but that's it.
It's the sole reason I pay for an ESPN subscription.
Oldest son is in the current LA State Police training academy and my youngest son is in school to become a CRNA so, yes, I think they'll be ok.

Who else are you going to get for $750,000?
re: Anyone try the new Callaway Quantum driver yet?

I'm done spending $700 on a stock driver. I'll wait till the next generation comes out and save $$. Went to Edwin Watts and they still had brand new Sim2 Max for $300 and the Qi10 for $400. You can buy the newest Titleist driver for $449 now, down from $649. I have the GT2 and it was the longest driver of 2025. You're not going to gain 10 to 15 yards by changing drivers, they are pretty much at the max of what they can do for length rules wise, now dispersion is another story. You need to speed train to gain distance now a days.

I would like them to be good but to be honest, I haven't watched basketball, pro or college since the ladies won the championship, so I guess I really don't care.

Even with game improvement irons, hitting fat shots should show up even on artificial turf.
They might but a mat won't show divot depth, direction or size which matters for lie angle, sole width and bounce and you can get real measurable numbers for spin and ball flight which might be skewed from hitting off a mat. For the average high handicapper, I guess it would be OK but if your a single diget hcp and serious about a real tour level fitting to get clubs that really fit your game, grass is the only way to go.
quote:
I think hitting on mats makes a difference and would advise not to get fitted indoors on a mat for irons
I completely agree with this. Inside driver fittings are fine as there shouldn't be :lol: any turf interaction with the driver but all other clubs should be on grass.

First time getting fitted and it was interesting to see how I hit them all. I'm a high handicapper, 20 and currently play with the TM Sim 2 Max.
Did they fit you for a Titleist driver, the GT2 is and awesome driver for beginners and they just dropped their price $200 to from $649 to $449.

Keep your head (ears too), hands and feet warm and you'll be ok. I can't play bundled up so if its below 50, I'm not playing and in the 50's with strong winds, I'm out.

In Shreveport it was $2.07 last Thursday afternoon and on Friday evening it was $2.35. Stores jacked the price up when people started showing up in droves to fill their vehicles and cans.

Liberals cannot overcome their emotions to think rationally. They are motivated to act by their feelings and not facts.
