[@phyrr2]

​@@k1j2f30 Many of these kids end up in foster care, then as prostitutes and addicts and often dead to that or suicide. Nobody thinks of or cares about such consequences. Not like it's her fault her dad was a douche, but she has to bear the sin of the father if you will. Everyone just moves on and forgets and nobody tries to help the children. Often, these kids would prefer an abusive parent than being in foster. If you've ever known anyone who's been in that system, you'd understand. Even researchers are coming to that conclusion (at least in some cases). Kids can't support themselves, period.

@@phyrr2 I think you need to reread my reply, again. I was trying to explain how the cop that killed her father while she was restrained by her father using her as a shield, not only killed her father but basically (killed her) ruined her life too!

14:00 onward is my life's philosophy: "Don't seek answers from people who are asking the same questions." I stopped hanging out with the friends I had in high school and started hanging out with people who were 5 years+ older than me who had been there, done that. Especially look out for father figures.

[@retributive]

You can tell by what he chooses to mention that this was never a "Hero Moment" for him. It wasn't his 15 minutes of fame. He explains the culmination of all his training and demonstrates just how focused he was in that scenario, he doesn't glorify his actions ("The shot breaks, and the rest is history") and then immediately goes on to talk about how many references he got for developing his skills. Humble legend

Imagine actually telling your barber to give you that haircut.

[@CantTellYou]

This means at some point in history, some dude walked into a haircut holding a picture of a small island & said “I want that”. Fast forward years later, he becomes a cop. All the cops are so envious of his small island cut that they want the small island. They NEED the small island. And the rest is history...

This is a *FANTASTIC* account of how it is in high stress situations. If you stop thinking and rely solely on instincts, you actually make MORE mistakes. However, sometimes you don't actually have the kind of TIME this guy described. 😓 Sometimes, you only have 3 minutes to solve a problem that would take 99% of the most capable humans... six.

[@jenniturtleburger3708]

I don’t even think he should have been the shooter. Running to the head if the stack. Wrong scope, borrowing a teammates rifle where he didn’t know dude had his white light turned way up etc. Sounds like a glory hound to me.
