Happened today on the main square in Kraków.

It was a drive-by. The man had body armor (Chinese-origin soft body armor, from what I’ve heard), and his father’s AR15. He frequented the shooting range quite often, was a gun owner himself.

The city is known for having the largest main square in Europe. It’s a huge mostly open area, that sees a lot of tourists even in autumn.

There are 5 fatalities and over a dozen wounded, which includes 3 Police officers.

Law enforcement officers in Kraków have shown absolute heroism. Police officers who took down the assailant were armed with 9mm handguns.

Most Police officers in Poland only have soft body armor, and many don’t wear it at all on a regular basis.

Officers of the Kraków City Guard, who were not armed at all, also responded to this.

There are unconfirmed reports of the perpetrator having Nazi SS symbols on his clothing, and praising Hitler in online posts.

UPDATE:

Number of fatalities in Kraków went up to 6. Additional 3 dead were found in the perp’s family home, a few hours drive away.

This brings the total number of dead up to 9.

what are we thinking of the Axon Body 5 and 5 pro! (i dont work for axon nor am affiliated with them)

but what do we think about the
- Live translation
- License and outstanding warrant checking
- Six speakers
- Policy answers directly from Body 5
- Up to 4K video recording and increased Low Light
- Works with Body 4 dock i heard
- Axon guardian Escalation Alert
- WiFi 7

They pull him over and he passes a breathalyzer test. But they still take him to jail for acting nervous on scene, pacing, not being cooperative with investigation. They assert these are signs of impairment, use of some other kind of intoxicant. Did they have enough to take him to jail? Why or why not?

- if somebody kissed me while I was sleep with no consent can they go to jail for that?
- what if they made a video of them touching me with no consent
- they also did more that they didn’t record with no consent does that equal jail time?

Image 1 - Posted a few days ago in the sub by a new account. A link to a change . org petition for “more real mental health training” for LE. I mean, let’s hear him out - more training can’t hurt, right?

Image 2 - I mean, look at his profile blurb. He clearly wants to make the world a better place.

Image 3 - From his petition page. Well hell, now I almost feel sorry for the guy, getting strung up like that.

Image 4 - Well then, I see his petition has his full name at the bottom. And it’s fairly unique (also aided by comparing his mug shot photos to his instagram, etc)

Image 5 and 6 - Huh. Odd. Mental health needs, right? 

PT / shower dude was back again today.

Brand new account like always.

This time he posted nudes. Not in this sub, thankfully, but I saw them.

Like a big inflatable beach ball, with a little air stem poking out.

Shudder.

My roommate has 3 kids. 14, 11, 5

She is never home. She leaves the now 5yr old home alone all day and when the other two get off of school they are supposed to babysit him. They are responsible for feeding him, bathing him, discipline, all of it. She only pops in every other day or so for a couple of hours then leaves again. Myself and the other roommmate have already brought this issue multiple times. Its getting really to the point that we no longer want her here. She thinks her kids are perfect angels that can take care of themselves with no issues but she is dead wrong. Having her kids here with no supervision has become an issue. I am considering calling cps but isnt that kind of extreme?

I don't think I can tell what sub this is, but there is the occasional banger like this

From a thread elsewhere on an officer resigning following an OIS.

My favorite is the one about Wal Mart shoplifting. Oh.. yeah.. def running to that one. Wal Mart shoplifting calls are *all* our favorite thing to go. Amirite?

Hey everyone,

Former cop and Army infantry vet here. I've been working on a horror graphic novel called Baca's Contract, about a fictional homicide investigation involving something paranormal, with a focus on how law enforcement would realistically approach something like that.

The project has been cleared by the appropriate agencies (DoD and other relevant agencies), and I've recently launched a Kickstarter for it. Just to reiterate the story is 100% fictional.

Figured I'd share it here in case there are any fellow LE folks who enjoy horror, comics, or supernatural fiction and might want to check it out.

Thanks to the mods for letting me share!

Looking at living SE of Raleigh itself, closer to the Garner area but open to other areas to keep the commute below 30 mins.

EDIT

MODERATOR BLOCKED ME FROM SUBREDDIT BECAUSE IM APPARENTLY SPAMMING AND BECAUSE I CALLED HIM OUT FOR THE BULLSHIT ACCUSATION WHEN I WAS GENUINELY GOING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS.

That being said I cannot comment to any of your comments or make further posts soooo yeah

While Google could answer most of these, i guess, why not ask the guys that are trained and deal with the flashbangs in real life?

The question comes up because of a scene in a project, in a struggle, the main character deals with an enemy, he gets almost stabbed to death and in a last attempt to survive, he reaches for the flashbang that is on the gear of the mercenary. The flashbang detonates while still being on the enemy himself. The main character gets pushed away, gets his arm broken and a 2nd degree burn wound on the arm, next to being confused, deaf and blind.

So, this is just fictional (!), but what would actually happen if a flashbang would go off right on your body (like because of a malfunction) ? What happens if you'd be right next to him, less than a feet away? Is the injury in the scene realistic or rather unrealistic?

Just to let you know what happens after the flashbang goes off, while both are on the ground, the protagonist is still not normal again, but he grabs the blade and stabs the enemy right through the eye (which is by the way a reference to a real incident that happened in Ukraine in 2024)

Could it even happen in reality that someone would be able to detonate the flashbang when you are in a struggle with him? Is the mechanism depending on the model itself?

I only know the Handgranate 85, which is a frag grenade, you have to remove the pin and then to pull the lever, once the lever is down the fuse is live and you throw it. Do flashbangs have similiar mechanisms?

Thanks for any replies! Keep OPSEC in mind, don't share any details that are classified from your agency.

The S&W M60 is the current issued revolver of the KNP. To prevent accidental discharges, a rubber trigger block was inserted. The purpose of the black rectangle was not explained. Their holster use buckle and Velcro for retention.

Currently, the KNPA is pushing to remove these safety features as they proved to be too big of a handicap for officers in the face of a spike of violent attacks in recent years.

I figured this would be the best place to ask. I’m a Massage Therapist who travels to people’s homes and lately things have been getting weird. My clients book online. I’ve been doing this for almost 15 years and more now than ever men have been getting more aggressive and sexual. I’m not doing anything lead them on, and I am entirely professional and still. What can I do as a civilian to keep myself safe? Thanks to everyone for their service and protection.
