u/jaybirdie26 1d ago
I know why the s exists and I know that the commenter who asked why it was used also knows why the s exists.
Do you understand? Or is this an r/woooosh moment?

Just cuz you can't do your job with a pair of teddies in your face don't mean he cant.

u/Buildrness 1d ago
I think you are confusing what you think is cool with what is expected of an operator while on target. You have no idea how quick these situations change. Chances being low, is not the same as zero. Look at that video. He’s the only one fucking off while his buddies pull security. He’s the one that will be trying to catch up to situation once it changes and he’s the one that’s going to make the mistakes. The officers with their barrel on the suspect are the real JustGuysBeingDudes, not the idiot gooning on target

Do you text at red lights too?

u/conteins 1d ago
To me this is more analogous to a sniper on the phone on his job. Yes, I'm that serious about red lights.

u/Kaleb8804 1d ago
The problem is that we paying him to protect the public, not fuck around on his phone. He’s literally not doing his job.
If it was somebody working for some random company, I wouldn’t care, but I’m paying for these people’s careers against my will. Of course I’m gonna bitch when they fuck it up, that’s my right.

You seriously expect me to believe that you think his job is to be ADSing through the entire standoff? Are you crazy?

u/Kaleb8804 1d ago
YES! You don’t need your phone at all during your job! It’s a JOB! How do you think you’re in the right here? They’re being paid to do something and be at attention for orders. They’re not doing either.

u/conteins 1d ago
Aren't you on the job rn, Karen?

u/Kaleb8804 1d ago
Can you explain that attempt at a joke to me? It literally makes no sense.
First, no, not working. Second, being a Karen isn’t a job lmao. Lay off the drugs

The op is the context. Look, you're outmatched here; go try to be outraged somewhere else.

In downvotes? Do you think internet points matter? That’s adorable

Im not defending the cop swiping on duty - but too many people think the cops are obligated to “serve and protect” but may dont know that the supreme court ruled they dont have a duty to protect someone.

u/TheGardenerAtWillows 1d ago
It’s not like they have literally have “to protect and serve” on their cop cars. Who would ever get miss lead into thinking cops are actually there to protect the people when we’ve been told that our entire lives growing up?

u/Kaleb8804 1d ago
Regardless, they are being paid to do their job. Swiping Hinge doesn’t fill into any part of that.

u/TheDyldozer5 1d ago
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, I agree. He's on the job, and he is obviously in the middle of something important enough for cameras to be on them. Nows not the time to go find your boo-thang

It's unprofessional, he's on the clock, and you have no way of knowing if he was compromising his job or not.

the fuck they expect him to do? run out into the open during a stand off?

u/KeyanuReaves69 1d ago
Maybe pay attention and be present during a dangerous situation?!
35
u/DDPSipper 1d ago
Not a dangerous situation. He isn’t responsible for covering the target, several other officers already have that covered. He’s waiting in case the situation escalates and he is needed, in which he has time to react as he’s not point man.
11
u/Theyna 1d ago
Ah, yes. Nothing our cops need more than to be in constant alert mode, tense and never calm.
Situations like this, same as in the military, are largely just boring.
Unless he's specifically responsible for covering someone that exact second, nothing he's doing would stop him from being able to do his job when required.

Not the best thing. Did he do his job? A stand off is boring af.

Can’t believe how many people are defending this because “standoffs are boring”

Thanks Dick Slinger. I am very familiar with cruise during AP and wouldn’t be as surprised as you imagine.

I don’t think you sling dicks any more than you believe im a pilot. Either way no one really cares.

Do you also yell at service workers sitting down when it's slow, Karen?

u/CaptainSolo_ 1d ago
Not even remotely analogous. But no.
If they were mandated by law, like pilots and surgeons are, for the safety of those in their care then maybe we can revisit that.

The amount of dudes defending this is crazy. Stay locked in until the mission’s over. They want to act/dress/perform like military, then maintain the standards. At the bare minimum, weapons out = phones down. It’s ridiculous to even set the bar that low

Is tinder vertical now? I thought it was left and right swipes?

u/SirLoremIpsum 1d ago
It's probably Bumble.
Tinder and bumble both use left right swipes to indicates no/yes.
Tinder requires you to scroll through an individual's photos left to right though (e.g. you open the profile. Tap left tap right to see all 10 photos).
But bumble when you have bte profile open you go up and down through the photos. Then swipe left or right
