Eh, if it were one these skinheaded badass type cops I see around a lot these days I can see them going in. Always is some dude that buys into the kool-aid and thinks he's "the tip of the spear" or something along those lines But, definitely feel the SRO would have gone in if he had a partner with him. Doubt they'd have done much, and not because it's a pistol against a rifle, not sure why people mention that - the shooter wasn't wearing body armour and is carrying a somewhat less maneuverable weapon, but just rather due to the time.

There's always hope

I think you are in a different conversation. No one even said anything about how many he could saved. He broke the protocol, he didn't do what he was trained to do, he should be punished. End of story. It is worth considering though, if you're going to use the body count as a cudgel towards him. Seeing how the punishment he could have faced was just administrative - as in getting canned (I'm not aware of any law he broke - and such a law would be pretty odd, mandating behaviour for just one profession and doing so for the general public is overreach), he ducked that by resigning as he's able to, so big deal. And wanting him to face execution for it is some stereotypical Internet hardman BS.

Eh one friend out of 150 isn't that indicative. Could have 50 acquaintances but only one friend.

Would be surprised they would run uniforms through that, and especially something like a SRO. Which seems like choice duty, for a cop. And in any case, military training fails, and a soldier is meant for violence far above a mere cop. Could be 17 dead, or 1, it's asinine to want the cop to be executed. Overemotional response. Wonder how many he could have saved, anyway, by the time he hears gunfire people are already dead. Academic, anyway.

You just undermined thousand of years of military training and preparation. Yes you can be prepared and sure of your responses in actual combat before your first battle. It has been done since first militia was formed.I agree the cop should not face a civil suit, he should be facing capital punishment for failing his duties. I'm talkng specifically about the civil suit, it's up to each service branch how they procecute deriliction of duty. I disagree to a large extent with your assertion that you can predict accurately how anybody will react when face with a firearm assault situation, also the guy was a cop, not military, I doubt if the police have as rigorous a training regimen as the army, but military personnel are not exempt either from the fight or flight response inherent to being faced with a life or death situation. I know of military personnel who have committed suicide because they shirked their duty and some who have committed suicide because they followed orders and ignored their gut reaction to intervne. Yes you can predict how a trained person will react and yes poluce force have extended training. He was no rookie also he had almost 10 years of sercice. Let's not pretend those basic facts you can google in 2.3 seconds are unknown to us. Extended training doing what, though? Storming a building against an unknown number of shooters? Capital punishment for that seems silly as well.

I once had a lot of SRM6's but a lot of mech parts being blown off took those from me. I should really just get an AC/20, I have a tonne of ammo for them for some reason. Need to get grinding cash.

Yep, AI sure has target fixation. Usually on my poor Blackjack. Rather liking my Cent as an LRM boat, only have 3 LRM 10s on it, but it does hit pretty hard (or at the very least, looks cool).

Finally did that, and with no losses. Got lucky and they walked their mechs near crates, got the 3 crate bonus. After that was the definition of overkill as I dumped 3 LRM15 salvos into a Locust.

Wow, soft one aren't you.

Some of these Liberation missions are pain, the Pravyn one was ridiculous, trying to run a gauntlet of 8 mechs aided by ineffective turrets. Smithon is turning out to be worse, as well, to hell with the bonus objectives there.

Is annoying to roll through a mission, and then get my commander injured for 50 days due to MGs

Immature humour, but it's been a long day

Almost got into a fight with a woman on the streetcar today, trying to get her to stop blocking the stairs so I can get out. Always impresses me how public transit brings out the ignorance in some people.

Not usually, I'll try to dress them up to match the class fantasy, so to speak. But for the most part my PCs are boring to behold.

Bakery in town makes decent buns and pullman loaves, I chuck them in the freezer until needed

I am finding it handy, granted it will be more so once my mechs stop having terrible fits (or I get a Catapult)

Oh it's an art work? Well they should have said that higher up in the article

So Jackson is no longer up for the VA job.

Laughing as I screwed myself a bit by stripping my mech and then confirming that, so then I had to refit every weapon...62 days time, ouch.
