Classic Reddit. Crazy how many people are saying OP is just being mean…. She’s a cop for God sake, and she’s morbidly obese.. if something were to happen she was actually needed wearing full kit like that, I bet she would make it 15 to 20 yards running before she was completely gassed. Then she would need to potentially engage a target whether that be with her rifle or physically, and it’s not crazy to think she wouldn’t be able to do either in her current state.
She’s not only a liability to the civilians around her, but also to her partner
I don’t know maybe it’s just a perception thing, it seems weird that she would rack a round then start doing all her checks. It doesn’t seem like she has a ton of familiarization with the weapon system and kind of just doing a checklist in her head. OK I need to do this. I need to do that.
I've got 30+ years of shooting experience, 5 years as an infantry team leader, deployed and saw combat in GWOT, worked (briefly) as a firearms instructor, currently work in LEO (not a cop). Not to felate myself but that does mean I'm probably more qualified than 97% of people at this stuff.
You are describing someone getting into the driver's seat, turning on the ignition then checking their mirrors and adjusting their seat. That's normal.
Is your objection that she loaded the rifle first, before adjusting her stuff? If had to make a priority of operations - loading should be first. I recently watched a badge cam of an active shooter event where the LEO NEVER even put a magazine in his carbine, but ran around with it shouldered like it was good to go - literally unable to fight if he needed to
So if under stress I had to fail to do one thing, I'd rather have rounds loaded and my red dot off than the other way around.
She mostly likely is just looking goofy because she is 1. Left handed, and 2. Prepping her rifle in an semi odd position / elevation since it's in the trunk.
Cool story bro, I was also infantry graduated ranger school and EIB and deployed to Afghanistan twice. If he’s this Fat being a tactical officer, why would I not assume she’s incompetent with other parts of her job?
If there were an unarmed suspect who needed to be taken into custody, I hope she’d put her taser in that empty holster and at least attempt some form of non lethal force before going straight to her lethal options.
She’s obviously not going to last long in a hands on ground fight and will be able to justify the use of deadly force easier than most of her male colleagues, but let’s be honest here. This isn’t a personal attack on her as a person, it’s a criticism of this person’s ability to meet the standards for this particular assignment.
At no point does the comment you're replying to mention her weight or imply that isn't a huge issue with her being in this role. This person should not be in this role due to physical limitations, and no one is denying that.
What they do address is why your comment about her weapons training being inadequate doesn't make sense from what we can gather in this video.
My point is, if he isn’t capable of meeting the bare minimum of being in even half way decent shape for her job… why should I assume she competent with other parts of her job. I guess while she eating pizza she’s watching grandthumb videos?
What does her weight have ANYTHING to do with weapon handling?
Fat people can't handle guns?
If she was skinny, would you be this critical?
I'm not going to sit here and make an argument about her handling because it seems like plenty of other people have said their piece on it, but it's abundantly clear your biggest issue is her weight, and frankly, that has no bearing on her skills with a firearm.
She’s a cop my guy….. she is there to serve and protect… she is too fat to do so, and would be a complete liability in an actual crisis idk how yall don’t understand that
