The Joy of Old Police Training Videos

From time to time very interesting videos pop up in my YouTube recommendations . A certain set of videos that fascinate me are law enforcement training videos from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. The following films have a wonderful quality to them and I love the way topics are discussed and broken down. Each of these films have lots of great moments but Surviving Edged Weapons is the best and has everything you would want in a movie.

Are you ready for close quarters combat?

Which gun is the right one? Now you will know!

Red Letter Media made an awesome review of Surviving Edged Weapons. The video is age restricted, I guess someone flagged it. Do you maintain a sufficient reactionary gap between yourself and assailants?

I suppose that I am not meant to be a police officer.

Internet Insanity: Kurt Eichenwald (In two parts)

I’ve stumbled across two really amazing videos on a channel I just found a few days ago about what has to be the world’s most bizarre insane frothing unhinged weird bizarre interesting reporter to have lived in all of human history. I could try and summarize these two videos and the incidents surround Kurt Eichenwald but why even try? Where would I start? Would I talk about his glorious interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight about a Tweet of his claiming that President Trump was checked into a mental hospital was “a signal to a source”? How about the time he paid thousands of dollars to a source of his who was a child involved in porn? How about posting up a photo on Twitter that inadvertently illustrated his use of hentai to show his wife that tentacle porn exists? The story of how Kurt Eichenwald obliterated his own career and utterly fell apart is simply amazing. (Edit 27 August 2020: The YouTube channel is deleted but the videos are available on BitChute.)

Really, you have to watch both of these videos.

For a guy who uses Twitter so much it’s interesting that he now wants to boycott it. Perhaps he’ll stop acting like such an idiot? No, he’ll just slip up again. Let’s look at some of his wonderful Twitter activity though:

Just know that almost 450k people follow this man’s words on Twitter. Perhaps they’re doing it ironically?

What a great source of entertainment this man is:

Here’s the full Tucker Carlson interview for anyone that’s interested in watching the entire dumpster fire:

Punished for what?

Oh boy, look at what this 10-year old boy was punished for. From ABC 13:

“TARBORO, North Carolina –Parents of a fifth grader are concerned after their child was punished for referring to his teacher as ‘ma’am.’“
and
“He says his teacher told him to write the word on the sheet because he kept referring to her as ‘ma’am’ despite her instruction not to. As part of his punishment, Tamarion had to have the paper signed by a parent.“
Of course the name of the teacher isn’t listed and at least the school was courteous enough to allow the student to switch teachers. I really can’t help but wonder what the teacher wanted to be called? Miss Doe or ma’am weren’t acceptable?
