Seems like the process is different at different recruiting centres? Because they wouldn't let me do the interview until after everything else (medical, background) checked out. Both of those were cleared back in May, but I've been waiting since then for interview because I am told CFRC...

Here's a link I found: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/grand-jury-report-breonna-taylor-1.5735521 And it sounds like you're bot the only one anticipating violent "protests": https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/09/23/breonna-taylor-case-decision-louisville-braces-protests/3501220001/

Good points, reveng. One would think this from the way that the media portrays things, but aside from the very highly popularized Anders Brevik case, I can't think of any others that truly fit the "right wing extremist" narrative. Alexandre Bissonnette has been portrayed as "far-right...

Or I would offer a third alternative ... are we seeing more because the range of acceptable political opinion has shifted and the definition of what constitutes "right wing extremism" has also shifted, therefore capturing many groups and views that were not deemed dangerous or criminal as...

Apparently this is not a problem, and this is the one of the issues I have ... why is only "right wing" extremism being singled out and why is "left wing" extremism not a problem? This is not just a CAF thing. In the US, there are riots and burning of building happened in several cities at the...

My understanding (just from what I've been told -- I'm not a recruiter), is that priority goes Reg Force --> Reserves --> CIC ... I don't know if combat arms is given more priority than non-combat, but regardless of trade, as an applicant for RegF I'd expect your file to be given more priority...

I agree that there are good and bad in every profession. Law enforcement is certainly no exception and there are definitely "bad apples" out there.

How is Trump responsible when the vast majority of deaths are in states that locked-down hard, regardless of what Trump was doing? I have not been able to understand this point.

I doubt that officers on the ground in the moment think like that, or that the POTUS' views impact them much. They're likely more concerned about what their own superiors will do say, and it would fall much more on the chief and other senior people in a given police department. At least in the...

Perhaps my memory has made it a lot more ammo than it really was ... Generally, yeah, I remember having three boxes (one on the gun, and two others on my kit) for a standard battle poadout (versus the 200 rounds or so for the C7 guys). I just remember one time we did an ambush and I had to...

Not sure how long it takes for the Recruiting Centre to send the documents, but it took just over 3 months total for the documents to be sent, for the medical staff in Ottawa to review, and for a decision to be rendered -- but this also takes into account COVID lockdowns which happened very...

Sounds like things went very quickly for you once they opened-up. I assume that priority is being given to combat arms (as it should be). That is odd that they skipped the medical ... I'm applying to be a Cadet Instructor Cadre officer and they sure made me go for a medical, and then get further...

Considering all the hassle I went through medical-wise in my CIC application I find this almost comical. I'm sure he'll get checked out eventually, but offered a job without medical? They wouldn't even do my background check until I was cleared medically and CIC is the exact opposite of...

Oh, I'm sure you'll be able to find multiple possibilities SOMEWHERE but the mainstream will have a main narrative that they will push as they have been. I would question whether the Attorney General actually has that much influence over a trial in Minneapolis, especially a GOP A-G. I also...

That thing is a fair bit smaller than "Old Painless". Still pretty cool. I think I'd rather have a mini-gun than a micro-gun if I had the option for rule of cool. Although that micro gun is probably easier to carry and use (Jessie Ventura had to have a special harness made to lug around "Old...

Thanks for sharing. Really nice looking carbine.

Aaron J. Danielson? Considering that he finds himself on the "correct" side of the political divide ("left of centre") I think that if he had behaved as you describe, he would have had a very very high chance of the DA not even pressing charges.

I think it's fair game to cite a judge's opinion, although I don't actually know Judge Napolitano's professional/judicial background I'll assume he knows a fair bit about use of force, and what's required to prove murder in the U.S.A. Based on the evidence available through the media, I could...

I don't know U.S./Minnesota law and how it differs from Canadian law, but in Canada, the prosecution would not have to prove that the knee caused the death, they would only have to show that it "contributed" to his death to an extent beyond the "de minimus" range. To give an idea of how this is...

Trump owns a big piece of this, to be sure, as the man in charge. But there's a lot of factors that I've listed that are not his doing.
