This caught my attention in not a nice way:

The news on itself is sick, but what made me sicker and pissed off was that people were joking about somebody proudly signing their jobs as if branding  people without consent was something to be proud of somehow.

I did mention that there was  a “tradition” about marking people without their consent after proudly doing work on them. It was deemed too obscure a reference.

Dr Josef Mengele provided government-mandated free health care at Auschwitz too.

They are offering the trifecta of tourniquet, Israeli bandage and trauma shears for $29.97.

I know you suckers have minded my complains and all of you have a basic kit like this already, but if you were thinking about a spare or a significant and loving gift for somebody else, this is your chance.

Go order one 🙂

“While terrorists may be willing to die for their cause, and their “calling card is to start killing people straight away,” there is ample evidence to suggest that they are just as ready to embrace a resolution that provides them with some sense of accomplishment or victory.
Negotiations can create meaningful dialogue, exchange of information, and opportunities to resolve the event without risking further injury to hostages, law enforcement personnel, or the suspect.”

R E S C U E , R E S P O N S E , AND RESILIENCE A critical incident review of the Orlando public safety response to the attack on the Pulse nightclub.

I have always been suspect at the way police responded to the Pulse active shooting in Orlando and I have to admit that I was partially wrong. The initial response by the officer present when it began and those who immediately came after was the accepted & successful protocol: Go towards the sound of fire and do your shit. They did that and more and that must be commended.

But the way I am reading the report so far (about one-fourth in ) when the response and responsibility starts crawling up the chain of command, things start to get complicated. Although the report keeps mentioning the top honchos (with lots of attaboys and back-patting) and how their respective agencies have been planning and training for events like this, apparently the simple item to call Fire Rescue was somehow left out of the planing and response.

The other thing that surprised me is that in their planning, a mass shooting is a unique event on its own rather than a tool. Pulse is consider in the report as a terrorist event early on and that is when the focus changed. Somehow the idea that a terrorist can use a mass shooting as weapon rather than a car or vest bomb seems a foreign concept for the upper echelons.

I also detected a huge quote mistake about the Golden Hour, but I will leave that to an involuntary diagramming screw up rather than an intellectual sleigh of hand.

I am just 55 pages in so there is more to read. But the info between the lines and not quite well decorated is worrying.

PS: I am leaving the Meaningful Dialogue with an Active Shooting Terrorist part for you to chuckle about on your own.

About the only way Colin Kaepernick will ever toss a ball as quarterback in the NFL is to officially become Diddy Combs’ whore and be pimped.

That is Black Pride indeed.

Democratic Sen. Pat Leahy expressed regret Monday for not waiting for an ethics investigation before calling for Sen. Al Franken to resign, coming just hours after Sen. Joe Manchin made similar comments about the Democratic push for the Minnesota senator to step down.”I have stood for due process throughout my years as a prosecutor

When the enemy is making a mistake, do not interrupt him.

I just love how disconnected they whole party is from the idea that John and Jane Public might fins the double and triple standards hard to swallow, much less explainable. The only thing that can make this thing better is a personal statement by Hillary Clinton asking Franken no to resign.

The only thing dripping/falling of your beard is the blood and brain matter of the enemy skull you just cleaved…. or bacon grease.
