I have a friend who's a police officer in Worcester, I spend more time at the range and do more official trainings than he does annualy, and he states himself as being the average officer.

If we're going to moan about "police are trained" then we should be able to agree that anyone can obtain this kind of training and be on the same foot if not better when it comes to marksmanship and use of force. But instead this is always used as a hard stop- "Police are trained, but you aren't".

Uhh, ok, I did 200 hours of live fire training last year, plus 40 hours of in class time as a non-leo, does that not matter for anything?

Boston Museum of Science has a scope on their roof, as does one of the harvard buildings- both open for public viewing with frequency.

I think MoS is open every weekend?

Atmob member: We're kid friendly, but the scopes are owned by volunteers who do assess a kid's age and ability to follow directions when looking through the scope sometimes worth thousands of dollars. Every kid is different and it's a tough one to feel out, but I've literally seen someone try to swing on a telescope like it was a monkey bar and that's going to be a hard pass.

I had my car broken into and various items stolen when I was in college.

There were fingerprints where the window broke, some blood on the door from a cut, a camera facing my car from the store I parked in front of.

Nobody fucking cared about my car. This is the world we live in, it's just property, make a homeowners claim or replace them.

When you say station are you talking about ground level or street level?

Street level you should be hitting the yellow strip, underground I think they're supposed to stop at all stops, I can't recall ever not stopping in the subway.
