Author    Post   untanglingwebs El Supremo The traffic enforcement unit, aka the glory Boys, got to take a class and they can now carry assault rifles. The street calls this rifle the "they ain't playing" gun. Remember the Glory Boys don't answer 911 calls unless they choose to. So next time you get stopped by someone in a Flint Police Charger, don't piss them off as they have their rifle. You're probably safe at lunchtime as they can often be found at Luigi's on Davison Road. And what is the deal with a 2 day training for foot patrol to learn how to deal with gangs? It takes a lot more training than that. Sat Jun 05, 2010 8:04 am  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Flint has traffic enforcement?????? What are they going to do with the 16's, shoot out tires? The 16's would be more appropriate for the gang squad, if we had one. It took 2 days to tell the foot patrol that the vests will not stop an AK round? Forget the Chargers, this is what the PD REALLY needs - - - - - http://www.dillonaero.com/docs/DillonTacticalVehicle-1.wmv _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Sat Jun 05, 2010 8:23 am  twotap F L I N T O I D If Flint didnt have to lay out 8 million bucks for some worn out building maybe they could buy a couple. I dont know why they need 16s dog the bounty hunter does just fine with a paintball gun. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

Feets do your stuff. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times. Sat Jun 05, 2010 9:42 am  BAH836 F L I N T O I D All FPD officers/ supervisors should be trained and allowed to use patrol rifles because many of the criminals in Flint are equally or better equipped. The transition to the patrol rifle is nearly complete in most other PD's in the country, but not surprising, the FPD is behind the times. EDIT: I don't care for the implied assertion that the traffic officers are doing something wrong by eating during their shift. Usually your comments are logically sound and better than that. As for gang training, I agree two days is not sufficient. Sat Jun 05, 2010 2:39 pm  untanglingwebs El Supremo NO PROBLEM WITH THEIR EATING DURING THEIR SHIFT. But must they all eat at the same time and same place. This is a big city and lots to patrol.

Also agree that FPD is behind the times. Typically I don't like you too much but I am going to ask you a question that I haven't heard anyone ask a cop during this current crisis Flint seems to be going through. Question is: how do you think the city should find the funding to put the cops back to to levels the city needs for good coverage on all shifts? Another question ( and this is a harder one to answer) , what do you think can be done to mend the soured relations between the mayor's office and the police? Sat Jun 05, 2010 10:54 pm  Ponycar F L I N T O I D Police started carrying patrol rifles after the North Hollywood bank robbery in the 90s .The robbers had far superior firepower than the sidearms and shotguns that the LAPD had.Patrol rifles have far more power with greater accuracy at long distances than a pistol or shotgun. They are an offensive weapon where the pistol is defensive. If Flint PD is just now gong to them, they are at least 12 years behind the times. _________________ A government big enough to give you everything is also powerful enough to take it all away. Sun Jun 06, 2010 11:13 am  untanglingwebs El Supremo If these weapons have been needed for 12 years, then why are we wasting time training traffic personnel , who don't even help those in the field. Some of the 17 trained should have been trained a long time ago. Who's fault is that?.

Link Sun Jun 06, 2010 7:26 pm  Ponycar F L I N T O I D Untangleingwebs, I don't know why or who's at fault. I just know that I wouldn't want to be patrolling the streets of Flint without a patrol rifle available. Good video Adam. I'll guarantee you that those vest's are high dollar. _________________ A government big enough to give you everything is also powerful enough to take it all away.

Mon Jun 07, 2010 7:35 am  Crowfeeder F L I N T O I D Good idea for sure.I hope they are getting M4's . Someone told me once that a pistol is what you use to fight your way to your rifle.This is because a pistol is near useless beyond about 50 yds.Our Police need the best they can get. I think that patrol rifle is the better and more accurate term.Assault rifle is a media term often used by gun grabbers, as it is value laden and negative . Are these are the civy semi auto version? With quality night sights? Mon Jun 07, 2010 7:44 am  Crowfeeder F L I N T O I D quote: Dave Starr schreef: I guess I'm just old fashioned. I'd prefer an M-14 to a Mattel. Me too,I guess I'm just another sentimental old fa*t .I like the AK47,especialy the ChiCom 56 version.
