Ok, so they're like the UK version of the BART police. Except the BART police shoot black people in the back of the head execution style in the blackest of black cities *Oakland*

You mean Amtrak. :colbert:

So I guess they are pretty much worthless for real policing. :rimshot:

and around 30-50 cops per shift for a city of 150,000 people.

We'd kill for 30-50 on duty. We pushed our lowest limit I've ever seen the other night with just 9 patrol officers on duty for 350K. The admin deleted all concept of "minimum staffing" from our regs last year. It used to be like 25. If I hear one more complaint about those response times...

Ah so is that what happened then? Can't say I'd paid the story much notice but assumed there was something more to it

As long as you have enough to feel justification to riot that's all that matters.

Yeah, and sometimes your drunk in public arrestee is so drunk the nurse at the jail refuses to let the person enter the facility and forces you to take them to the ER until their sober enough to be booked in to the jail. The nurses really hate dealing with dunks, but it's called a Drunk Tank for a reason.

One of the first things issued to me at my old job after a sidearm was a body bag and a underwater drag line with hooks to find a body.

Protip - Don't die in saltwater near the beach. Crabs will eat your eyes. And I don't want to eat your eyeball juice crabs when I get my dozen. Thanks.

Other than say off duty? Technically yes. See several cities in Washington that contract law enforcement with the local Sheriff's Office.

There are also a few private gated communities in VA that have private contract security that become special police with a commission, as always though they are usually complete poo poo lowest bidder.

My wife may be getting a Job offer from UVA making almost six figures. Is it hard to become a cop in VA?

It's not so bad, and you should be pretty competitive with your previous experience. You will probably have to go through an academy again though. Virginia does allow lateral transfers from out of state with a shorter academy but there is only like one or two agencies that ever do that, and they are not down there. UVA is in Charlottesville, which is an independent City surrounded by Albemarle County. If you do really start looking for cop jobs Albemarle County PD is pretty well regarded in the region. That said, the Charlottesville area is only about 45 minutes from the outer Richmond metro area and Henrico County PD and Chesterfield County PD, both large county police departments that would probably happily give you a job.

Your in for a culture shock.

They have the same thing in Baltimore. Every year a bunch of them get in trouble for acting outside their "authority" and doing stuff like putting emergency lights on their 98 toyota corollas and running code to pick up kids or go to hair appointments.

BLM Rangers are "real cops", just like National Park Service, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife, etc. Federal law enforcement agency jurisdiction can get wonky in some areas and it can depend if an arrest is made on federal land with exclusive jurisdiction or concurrent jurisdiction or on state/county jurisdiction where the Rangers have authority granted by code or local jurisdictions, etc. etc. etc. Some places request that if a federal ranger arrests someone for local charges the local authorities process and book the arrest. While in other places (like here) most law enforcement rangers are granted statewide authority and they can arrest, process, book, and submit the charges all on their own without our help. That said most of them probably won't know the local process or have the ability to transport so we'll end up helping them out anyway.

I have a recurring donation set up to that school in Haiti that something awful had a fund drive for a few years back. I'm up over 1k in donations lifetime; I also donate to the local food bank every month.

I also dumped ice on my head because gently caress it why not.

Yeah I'm at like 2k a year to various charities and non profits... which isn't a huge amount but isn't always easy on a civil servant salary but you know what's another $100 you internet fad fuckers. I'm gonna give this one a shot ... :cheers:.

I worked around BLM when I was in CBP, they were great. They seemed to have a decent amount of autonomy and were always helpful, and most importantly knew their way around the area extremely well, which was really important to us. I was in CA and I'm 99% sure they had authority to make arrests and cite persons, so they must have had some follow on training with the state. Seemed like they had it alright.

If only Whip was still here, he could talk about federal law enforcement rangers and what not. :ohdear:.

I never understood those idiots. If you don't recognize law enforcements authority to arrest and charge you and you don't recognize the courts authority to administer justice over you then why even bother to show up for court?

Maybe its because most of these people crave less "sovereign freedom" and more "internet echo chamber stardom".
