I mean maybe they should go after every Etsy and Ebay seller while they are at it... It’s the same crime but different items... (Unpaid Taxes)

Unless I am mistaken ABC is almost always a Department of Revenue branch...

They were plan clothed officers as well. In a stand your ground state.. She called 911 and LEO rolled on it thinking it was a car jacking.

<— This. They also beat the hell out of one of the WVU SGA members outside a bar a few years ago... There was alot of talk about stripping them of their LEO powers (basically making them meter maids) after that one but I don't think it ever went down.

They are running refusal blood draws now at checkpoints in some states. They role out this big RV with graphics all over it. The even have a judge on site to rubber stamp the warrant for your connivence. Got to get that grant money somehow.

Funny Story but look up Dak Prescott’s DUI arrest... Basically it was the same thing. Contempt of cop.

DUI arrest also ensure they keep receiving federal grants. Reckless driving no so much.

Most states give their ABC officers the same powers as their State Troopers... It’s insane. It’s like they hire them based on their sociopathic qualities.

They go to concerts, hang out in bars and frat parties and try to bust MIP. They also setup stings on curb stores where the poor guy behind the counter has no idea…

Girl I dated in College had a late model Ws-6 Formula... God I loved that car... Her not so much... I strung that relationship on for a little longer than I should just because she hated to drive and always suggested we take her car since Her daddy paid for her gas.

Similar in my home town Rural Mississippi but we had an equal amount of truly badass street cars and trucks. In the late 90's early 2000's we had an interesting mix of dirt poor country kids who could build at 350 small block on a budget that would make Chevrolet engineers blush, Tech guys from the West Coast lured to…

We have a blue field at one of the big public schools in my state.....which quickly promoted the state athletic association to pass a rule that says no colored fields... It’s beyond bizarre... It looks like something out of Mutant League Football (yea so I am old)

Pretty much my life. We have a C-17 assault strip at Shelby that’s final skirts the edge our our city... I

Yep. There are some videos on Youtube of Chinook jocks from the 160th hovering the ramp over a building that MIGHT have been structurally sound 200 years ago.

Figure a Nighstalker in a Littlebird could park a bird on that Taxi if they needed to pull him out from closer it could be done. The PJ’s Pedro and the Talon make me think this was to deploy a QRF to lock down the area in case of something like Paris or Mumbai.  

Damn I wish I had seen this.. I posted the Skyhook wiki when I saw it was a Talon and an extract plan.

You want to get into really secret squirrel stuff a Mark V SOC extract to something like a ASDS. Little Creek is only about 300 miles as the crowflies... If the SHTF the Dev Gru boys have plenty of toys to pull Don out..

I would guess your on the right track. Figure that Talon would be loaded down with a QRF that could jump in and secure an LZ for the handoff. The Pedros and the PJ onboard would stage for a medical situation at the LZ. (If it ever gets to this point stuffs gone to hell in handbasket and your not just going to call…

That would be a hell of a sight....

Now that you mention it that was a Talon.... Maybe they are dusting off some crates they have had in storage for the Don....

It’s probably a two way street. If These birds were full of PJ’s so they could have been planning for a couple of different scenarios . It’s probably a safe bet that in a real situation Talon would be full of pipehitters from a SMU.

The thought of a QRF parachuting into downtown Manhattan is a crazy thought but I bet…

Rooftop pads were banned after 9/11. There is an article out on the web that talks about the 2-3 exemptions.

Wanna bet there is another exemption in the works by the Secret Service? I would not doubt if they don’t task a Little Bird just to have a lightweight platform that can sit down on pretty much any buildings…
