• The End

  04-01-2018 18:17 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  I remember how happy, or sad, or scared, or disappointed I was as a kid while watching a movie. And then "The End" would appear in big letters, signaling the finale of the story. Today these words are rarely seen unless the movie is going for a "retro" look. Movies inspire in us all types of emotions, from sorrow to joy to inspiration, and the good ones are usually worth watching repeatedly. It is no accident that law enforcement's events make great subjects for movies; they include intensity, e

• Police Product Test: Lotar Combat Akrav Gen II Knife

  04-01-2018 17:56 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Most law enforcement officers I know have some sort of folding knife that they carry with them off and often on duty. They mostly use these tools to cut mundane things like cords and tape and slice open evidence bags. Most probably don't even think about their knives as possible lifesaving weapons so they never practice drawing them and using them in defensive moves. And to be truthful, many of the knives carried by American law enforcement officers are not designed to be used as defensive weapo

• Defending Against the Choke

  04-01-2018 17:22 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Choke. It's an ugly word for an ugly action, whether you are talking about strangling someone or letting anxiety overwhelm you. The choke attack, the instinct to "go for the throat," is as deeply imbedded in humanity's reptile brain—our primitive memory—as any form of attack. Whether it's a crude two-handed strangulation or more complicated techniques like a "guillotine" or "rear naked," a choke not only shuts down the victim's ability to get oxygen to the brain—either by

  Women who come forward and report rapes endure two- to four-hour rape kit exams, and think their cases are being investigated, but the sobering reality is many of these kits are never processed. According to End the Backlog, an initiative of the nonprofit Joyful Heart Foundation, more than 200,000 rape kits still await testing today. A 2011 report from the National Institute of Justice found that 18% of all unsolved rapes between 2002 and 2007 involved forensic evidence that had never been
