I was thinking about you when I heard the torch was coming to SF. Did anything exciting go down? Hope all is well on the left coast.

DT:
-PT got cancelled as many officers got pulled up for the torch run...

-240 jumping jacks
-100 hindu squats
-50 ch.asing rabbits(mountain climberS)
-25 burpees
-30 burpees with 2 push ups each rep
-20 military push ups
-25 standing twists(leg to elbow)-per side....got dizzy on these and went off rhythm class was doing...got called out for it...had to get in front of class and demonstrate them(our classmate showed them to us for the first time after we did a bunch of other stuff)...
-did a bunch of lying bicyle kicks to opposite elbow then planks then raising both legs and arms straight out off the ground 6, 12, 24 inches...

-then we did hitting the deck and getting up doing high knees and arms overhead...because I fucked up on those standing twists I and few other people were made to do these for extra time...
-for motivation we were told that most of us are complete POS and that we got hired in the most desperate time of the city/state....so a bunch of undeserving people got in who cant walk and chew gum at the same time...etc.etc...long rang...this is apparently a theme every time there's a big protest of some sort in the city...sort of like stop bitching about PT...we got officers on the line fighting stupid assholes protesting shit that we as officers or the city have no control over...they got a point tho i honestly would rather go and stand in line with other officers and get first hand experience...but crawl before sprint...

-had a cool class today with crimes against persons and one of the best officers came in to teach us(he usually does reviews before tests for us and teaches some classes as well)...he got a JD and went to same UNI as me for his law school....very sharp guy who knows more than he should about a ton of movies....so today we watched dirty harry movie clips, cops, etc to study various fuck ups by cops(r.easonable susp.icion to search, warrantless entry circumstances, etc..then watched for various crimes committed and their elements)....he's actually shown on an episode of cops....tackling some robbery suspect down and then saying 'how you like that?' with a knee on his back as two other officers cuffed the suspect...totally awesome...if i can be half the cop he is...then i'll be thrilled...however with some of the questions that i ask in class on occassions he probably thinks i am mentally retarded...(sometimes i just cant get shit to come out right...out loud...haha)

-optional DT today practicing high cu-rsory search...still need practice because i keep fucking up this or that...unacceptable...i want this job more than anything I cannot fuck this shit up...

-the city changed route midway for the torch run so all those stupid assholes planning to protest got completely fooled...totally awesome...we overheard this stuff on our pic radio that our instructor had...

God, beating the shit out of those hippies looked like so much fun in the France leg of the torch run.

[DEVILsSON]

I seriously wish I was at the line and some asshole mouthed off and tried something as I am holding my riot 36 inch baton with head gear and face protection down....

[DEVILsSON]

DT:
-100 jumping jacks
-50 ch/asing rabbits(mountain climbers)
-25 burpees
-100 push ups for the day

-practiced standing full body searches....nothing like having your crotch felt up by another guy...haha....also handcuffing by some people is completely rediculous...got both wrists jacked up...
-got O.C and Gas tomorrow...will ahve to get sprayed in the eyes then have to hanfcuff blind through pain...and have to take off mask off in gas room and say a certain speech 'sfpd...i am so and so...u're under arrest' or some other stuff....we're also probably going to be quizzed on our orders of performance(from department gene.ral or.ders manual on duties, use of force, escalation, etc)...which we had to memorize and i am still rough on them...should be interesting...

-practiced optional DT high c.ursory search today....did better as a whole on the small things although one out of 5 or 6 i missed one weapon tucked into wrist watch band underneath...i got distracted by instructor on something and didnt check....sigh..my multitasking needs a lot of work...gotta learn to walk and chew gum at the same time...going to have another DT test next thursday...so coupled with monday's remediation...a lot of crap...then simulation 1 next saturday.

Unless it made you hard, you should be OK...but even if it did, you'll still fit in in SF!

Newt that's freaking awkward to say the least. One guy said I have a funny face expression when someone is searching me(he's the 'suspect' on the opposite side of me so he's also getting searched)...esp on the full search....to me it's just very awkward...some people are also very abrupt and forceful....so it's like i am getting my balls felt up while getting my wrists jacked up as the guy presses on my handcuffed hands....meh...i really dont like the 'i'll get mine mentality' as some instructors/other recruits advocate when certain people are being too rough...but damn....i am getting pissed....

Had OC today. That shit is pretty brutal. I cannot imagine what Mase feels like. OC stapled my eyes shut in a sec and then took full effect in about 5. We had to say our whole speech when we arrest someone... 'po.lice you're un.der arr.est, put yo.ur hands up, lo.ck out elbows, spr.ead fin.gers apart, turn around slowly until i tell you to stop, stop, spr.ead feet apart, point out toes, put let behind the small of your back, put the right behind the small of your back, make the backs of your hands touch..' then we appr.oach and using twi.st lo.ck grip handcuff......instructor took the 'badguy' and moved him/her if we werent trying to pry our eye(s) open to see where the subject was.......only thing we didnt need to do is uncuff the person....pretty brutal shit....went to the hoes then baby shampoo then hoes....i also sprayed myself with milk to ease the burning which it did except i needed more water to wash it out...also oc gets reactivated with water so burning gets bad when reactivated...i froze up initially saying my speech after first few words as my mind froze then i just went through...our DT instrctors were there to observe the range masters apply the stuff and the DT staff...esp the one who is always on my ass said 'give him double as he's the missing link'...like i am a caveman or something...me and some other people probably got it worth than others...o well...tough shit...got through it...

CS gas wasnt bad. We had to spend about 10 min with mask on inside the chamber/room...then take our mask of say full name of our department our last name and start number, then put mask back on and clear it out....i fucked up and took a deep breath before sayign my phrase because i sort of fumbled with mask and froze a bit...but the gas didnt really affect me...some people were puking and so forth.....i was fine...slight burning sensation...and weird taste ...meh

Yeah, to me CS is worse. OC burns, but I can still function pretty good for a few minutes. At FLETC, you have to run sprints, do push-ups, etc., so you get breathing pretty hard before you go in to your scenario. Then, when you get sprayed, you're already out of breath and then you just suck the OC fumes in that much harder, then you have to complete arrest. Good times! Glad you made it through it!

I'm guessing that the instructor that's always on your ass has a crush on you. You know, just like girls in elementary school tease and pick on the boys they like. You should be flattered!

[DEVILsSON]

You crack me up Newt. haha..well that instructor admitted that academy would be more boring if I wasnt there to pick on ...cuz they were talking shit about how i'd end up being the biggest crybaby(their prediction prior to OC)...:/....then our RTO staff insisted on taking our pictures after we were all fucked up ...i tried to cover my face but the RTo staff member insisted that picture needs to be taken and I was told to uncover my face ...whatever...maybe that rto staff can take a picture of me on the toilet next for shits and giggles...I personally dont see the humor of looking at pictures of people with red faces and snot all over...but that's just me...call me crazy....I would have loved a group pic with our masks on...dunno...
