Since you aren't bright let me help

The 40% claim is based on a study from the early 90s so it does need to be taken with a pinch of salt in light of probable attitude (and indeed police demographic) shifts since that period.

This said, while the statistic shouldn't be taken as ironclad fact it does serve a possibly useful rhetorical function when cited (in good faith, of course) in public discourse. IE, citing it to claim that 40% police today are indisputably domestic abusers is wrong, but using it to point to a clear issue with how the police encourages certain relationships to violence is legitimate. Used right it can problematise the police as an institution and question the legitimacy of their monopoly on violence. This gives the 40% meme some polemical use outside of the merely factual insofar as the questions it raises are being examined in serious scholarly works and deserve further attention. (For example Alex S. Vitale's the end of policing is an excellent book I'm reading right now which touches on these topics.)

In terms of better statistics, there are qualitative studies ones which look at police organisational culture and how it breeds attitudes which can normalise violent behaviours amongst police officers such as police brutality, discriminatory attitudes and violent tendencies. Claire Renzetti's feminist criminology reader examines this from an external crime-management perspective (IE police attitudes causing problems in how domestic violence is policed etc.), but there's also this comprehensive article by Barbara Armacoast that examines the relation between organisational culture and deviant/violent police behaviours.

So once again. Enjoy your bus ride lol

Ya - it's a total mind-f*ck for them.

Most of them apparently want to wear the badges but are being disallowed. Their radiation exposure is substantially worse than ours as passengers, estimations are showing 1800+ mrem in a relatively continuous manner depending on the worker location and there have already been TSA cancer clusters the CDC is supposed to be investigating.

I believe (although am not sure) that this is one of the reasons they are trying to unionize ... to get the radiation badges.

There is more information available on the ishare site on the second page of that pdf. It looks like they should be emailing you after you finish the training.

I’m looking for absolute minimal weight, and no tools I don’t need/won’t use, and this Swiss Army knife has all I need at a very tiny size. So that’s a yes if I remove the blade?

Yes. They make non bladed multi tools exactly for this purpose. Take it out of your bag and open all the tools so the X-ray officer and property search officer can see it doesn’t have a blade. Prepare for it to be pulled aside for secondary screening.

What kind of card reader are you using? If the contacts are slightly off it won't recognize the certificate. I use something basically just like what we have at work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N3MM6W/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I suggest you wear a “clear” face mask (visible mask) so you don’t have this issue. 😊
