SUPER COPS

Oh you people in the Gulch.
You got me thinking about the police. You outlined your experiences not once but twice. I wanted to be sure of what I was hearing. I was raised to respect police, and over the years, my experience with them has been mostly positive, with a few exceptions. But, the problems with today's police as astutely pointed out by Gulchers got me thinking, and as usual, as I started reading up on the subject it led me to some interesting if unexpected directions,. I am going to skip the footnotes and references, as I have little patience for that and just present the bare bones of my reading.

Research in police behavior starts in the national military and filters down to local police, including state police and county sheriffs. Serious studies started after the Civil War in which modern weaponry was introduced bringing with it higher death rates in battle than were previously experienced. It is an axiom in the military that equipment can help turn the tide but no battle can be won unless there were soldiers on the ground.

Cutting through all the voluminous studies on the subject, I was surprised to learn that soldiers of the Civil War and World War One didn't often kill the enemy. Only 15% shot to kill - on both sides. In World War Two, greater indoctrination provided soldiers with a higher kill rate of 25%.Part of that was improved weaponry with automatic guns , canons and flamethrowers.The big challenge, therefore, was how to get more highly motivated soldiers. Let's skip ahead in time about 20 years.

Vast improvements in body armor and the start of exoskeletons have made the soldier more effective , but killing motivation continues to be a bugaboo. Attempts with various drugs including LSD have not worked satisfactorily. The problem is consciousness. trying to create the super soldier or super cop are relying on "meatware." They forgot about Dr. Einstein.Free will comes from consciousness. Consciousness is our perception of reality. But reality is not Newtonian - it is really very weird. In the Newtonian world things can be traced backed to their origins and then moved forward in order to predict their future. However, it has failed to create the ideal soldier. I'm not going to go into entanglement and all the mind-twisting quantum paths except to say that newer more recent experiments which base their psychology on quantum theories have led to CBT, or Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which has proven to create new interneuronal connections in the brain. This is energy creating matter which creates the mental acuity of the ultimate killing predator. If you object to the actions of current police, you ain't seen nuthin' yet.This research has illuminated to me the thinking of certain current military strategists that scares the hell out of me. I doubt if any of us will enjoy dealing with mind altered super cops.

    I've found that D3 made a real difference for me. There are other things I take, but that was like flipping a switch.

    Whatever your body is short on, it will respond to. Take 40 IU per pound of body weight or thereabouts. I am not a doctor (yaddad yadda).

    Apparently the sound cannon is being deployed against the pipeline protesters in N. Dakota.

    Some of it is here, folks. Be governed accordingly.

    My son, a Marine infantryman, explained it thusly: "My job is to kill people and blow things up."

    And for that reason, every Marine is, first and foremost, a rifleman.

    If you are not the shooter, you are the target.

    "I wander off after that and so on."
    That's what makes this site interesting. Something about it may hit me at some random time in the future.

    Laughing...I understand. Too much time spent with certain family members. The condition should lessen each day after Christmas/Hanukkah.

    Experiments are presently going ahead with brain damaged people. Ostensibly to cure their damage but also to study the "side effects."

    Getting anyone to kill another human being is a very difficult task when it is on the front line and very personal. Most people don't realize that the greatest fear on the front line is not of being killed or harmed but that you might actually have to kill another human being. It is the same for both sides or it would quickly become obvious which side was going to win in every battle. Occasionally a battle will be very close and very bad with many men dying and killing on both sides. Great book on this by Gwyn Dyer titled 'War'. Spent 4 years in the Marine Corps 1968-1972, learned that for every 300,000 rounds fired on the front line one person died. Move the war back to the artillery line or the air and the guns were fired every time trying to hit targets (not people) they couldn't see. Move back a bit further to the taxpayers and they are more mobilized for the killing and the support will be near 100%. Trials of drugs during the Viet Nam war proved that if you make someone fearless they become so reckless that they are killed before accomplishing their goal. One man assigned to me announced that he was glad to be there because now he could kill someone and no one do could anything about it, got rid of him quickly realizing he would create problems for the rest of the men. It is possible to find videos of police, criminals and civilians facing off within a few feet firing recklessly and unable to hit each other, if they were concerned more their own survival it is not difficult to train a weapon on someone at that distance.
    There are those who will operate death camps and kill with abandon, fortunately they are few in number. If the government finds a way to make efficient killers of those it trains it will not bode well for its citizens who will be in greater danger than any enemy.

    You can only see gods if they want you to. Look at Yaweh. He remains invisible except to his angels, like Michael and Lucifer.

    True.
    You can also marvel at how certain people can be intelligent, make that brilliant even, in one field and total dimwits in another.

    Question is always getting one's mind to where it matters. Gota admit...some do it better than others.
    I always second guess myself to death and squash a good thing.

    I'll post my analysis when I'm reasonably impressed.

    At the onset, this is the first time I've tried something that gave me strong positive results.

    We'll see if it lives up to the claims.

    Placebos are starting to be as effective as meds in tests , as they say mind over matter.

    Thanks, OUC. I am always on the hunt for better health. I hope to have a web site with some natural products in a month or two. My partner (who is the chemist) has issues with time so no promises;^)
