I flew in at 4am once and decided to hoof it to the Gardens by the bay to watch the sunrise, and the amount of cleaning staff working at 4am was insane. You could literally eat off the floor but people were still getting around with brooms and mops, tidying up the flowerbeds or checking a bin is still empty.

Never go full Gargoyle etc, but I would love to see something like this: https://www.stereolabs.com/zed-2/ hooked to the front of a vr-style goggle setup and passing through to a portable processor to do real-time low-latency visualisations. (I'm p. sure China already has cyber-cops walking their beats with similar hooked up to a HUD of some sort tied directly into their panopticon population database.)

without context i can’t say for sure what this is, but there are sets of shoot/no shoot targets where variants of otherwise identical targets have different things in their hands like cameras, badges, and umbrellas in addition to some with handguns, rifles, and knives. often these target sets are sold as targets with no hands and a bunch of large stickers so you can make them carry whatever you want, and many of them are realistic drawings or photographs so you can have a person in a suit and tie with a shotgun, or a person in a hockey jersey and bandanna with a badge. the point of all those is to see if your student is actually looking at the hands and determining the presence of a deadly threat to make a shoot decision or if they’re deciding on something else (dress, race, etc), or if they’re just blasting every target that presents itself. having the heart, lungs, and brain “threat stopping areas” outlined on the target makes it much easier for instructors to score a drill, and you have to have them outlined on the no shoot targets too so students can’t decide based on absence or presence of the dotted lines. given everything at the moment it’s kind of a bad look to display that, and of course some dickhead can always just shoot the no shoot targets for kicks, but the existence of this in a police supply store doesn’t mean cops are training to shoot people with phones. though they certainly can if they decide to.

yeah that came up in a different thread and someone posted a picture of the back side, which is identical in every way except the guy is holding a pistol. They're specifically meant to train cops to correctly identify a threat. (lol).

yr new gurlfrand! posted:what kind of target do they use to train the iron fist for 40mm stuff it's usually a large steel silhouette or big mound of dirt; when you're shooting cs or oc or explosive rounds you don't have to be as accurate as you do with bullets but you may have to see if the student can get a round in front of or behind a barricade consistently. looks like they're using a pile of railroad ties there.
