There’s a surprising amount of policework that is really just not being dumb. My late father, for example, got an “attaboy” from the chief because of his diligent work solving a theft. What happened was that he simply followed the stolen lawnmower’s tracks in the dirt alley that led right to the thief. A lot of it is much, much more complicated than that, admittedly, but sometimes, it’s just not. That’s especially true when the criminals make it easy on the police. See, most crooks don’t think they’ll get caught. They’re convinced they’re too smart or…

Did you know that, once you join the military, Uncle Sam may keep you there longer than you planned — or that you can be recalled to active duty once you get out or retire? That can happen several ways. Voluntary Extension at Certain Duty Stations As the name suggests, this extension is up to the service member. If you are serving in a designated assignment, location or unit, you can voluntarily extend your enlistment past your normal ending date. If you do so, you are entitled to a special assignment incentive pay (AIP) of up to $1,500 monthly. The…

The National Rifle Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation, Illinois State Rifle Association, and several gun sellers and gun owners in the state of Illinois have filed a new federal lawsuit taking on the state’s 72-hour waiting period for gun sales.  The lawsuit, known as Pearlstine v. Raoul, argues that the three-day waiting period is an “unadorned effort to delay the exercise of Second Amendment rights, on the theory that people who seek to acquire firearms are likely animated by violent intentions that may subside if they are forced to ‘cool off’ for three days.”Similar challenges…

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is one of the longer entries among the classic Assassin’s Creed games. While it doesn’t reach the massive scale of the newer open-world titles like Valhalla, Odyssey, or Shadows, its story remains consistently engaging from start to finish. If you’re mainly interested in Edward Kenway’s story, you can expect to finish AC Black Flag Resynced in around 20 to 22 hours. On top of the original campaign, the game adds a brand new chapter, along with plenty of optional content that can keep completionists busy for dozens of extra hours. Here’s how long you can…

I don’t think any of us will ever forget the video of the dreadlocked DEA agent talking about how he was the only one in that room professional enough to handle his “Glock 40” just moments before he shot himself in the leg. In that moment, DEA Special Agent Lee Paige became a meme and an example of how law enforcement officers might receive taxpayer-funded training, but that didn’t mean the training took with all of them. As we’ve seen in other examples.But at least in those cases, everyone recovered. Unfortunately, a police officer from…

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a test administered to three potentially separate groups of people: interested high school students, individuals who are looking to enter the military, and military service members who are looking to reclassify and retrain into a job that requires higher test scores.
