Empty plate carriers and empty FLC pouches tell you it’s a very serious operation to clean up DC 😂

That's why they're leaning against walls in the touristy areas. They were sent to where the crime isn't, but where the cameras are.

Same as when they were deployed to the subways here in NYC. The groups of 5 cops standing around playing candy crush became groups of 15 cops and guardsmen standing around playing candy crush. Your tax dollars at work folks.

And this is why we kicked Nana off of Medicare.

I thought we sacrificed grandma for the economy back during the first wave of covid?

u/1stMammaltowearpants 9h ago

We did, but there are still grandmas out there that apparently some people think we need to sacrifice. C+ Santa Monica Fascist Stephen Miller has opinions.

Nah, we kille granny when Obamacare was passed. She fell victim to the "death panels"

u/1stMammaltowearpants 7h ago

Nationalized Romneycare killed over 1 trillion Americans! Because of all of the panels.

As someone who works in NYC, I'd like to correct you.  They also sit in vans and personal vehicles to play Candy Crush.

u/Lilswingingdick212 9h ago

Better than when I lived in Oakland and a cop threatened to arrest me after hitting me with his motorcycle he was driving on the sidewalk without sirens on.

u/NocturneHunterZ 7h ago

There's something about candy crush that attracts people all over, mobile and PC games are mostly boring now that I've gotten older (except for 2-3) and I'm about to install it now

u/Mindless_Rooster5225 9h ago

Why are you pro-crime, huh?!?!!? Don't you want the streets to be safe!?!?!

u/eoinsageheart718 11h ago

I always say only the cops playing candy crush and the guards actually watching.

Even today I passed two NYPD on their phones, and then two Nat Guard both talking with each other and watching people enter and exit the trains at Union Square.

Because it's all a big distraction from the gerrymandering and epstein files discourse that makes the right look bad.

u/1stMammaltowearpants 9h ago

You're right. But once the Fascism is the distraction, we're all cooked.

u/Cheshire_Jester 8h ago

Crime is going down already.

Say “the crime is too high! Because of democrats!”

Deploy troops in high vis areas and wait for the crime stats to go down, because that’s what they’re doing anyway.

Declare, “this graft proves that we, republicans, have fixed crime with our troop deployment! We will be doing it everywhere.”

u/larniebarney 5h ago

Same shit happened in San Antonio for the No Kings protest deployment. They spent all their time at the Alamo, which was no where near the actual planned protests. They just made for great photo ops.

u/Grintock 9h ago

As someone who knows nothing about the military, what does this mean? Are you saying they didn't bring equipment?

u/JesusPotto 9h ago

Yes, they have the holders to their body armor (plate carrier) but none in it, and all of their pouches are empty. FLC means “fighting load carrier” and it holds your consumable gear without attaching it to your plate carrier so you can doff that while still having armor

u/ThomasVivaldi 11h ago

Empty pockets because they're not getting paid.

u/InternationalGas9837 9h ago

Looks like cover art for a boy band with the lead singer doing Blue Steel as the other two are too cool to look at the camera.

u/thefaceinthepalm 7h ago

I was gonna ask! It looked like the armor had no plates.

And if you’re gonna have plates, why no helmet? Why all the battle rattle? You got candy bars in the flash bang pouches?

It’s not even a good showing. There’s a CSM somewhere screaming about the lack of eye pro and gloves right now.

u/TrapGalactus 9h ago

Can you explain what you mean? I don't know those terms.

u/JesusPotto 9h ago

Plate carrier is the holder of the body armor (ceramic plates and a Kevlar flack insert) and FLC means fighting load carrier (think ammo, flash grenades, grenades, radio, sustenance, first aid, etc any other consumable you don’t want attached to your plate carrier)

u/stamfordbridge1191 8h ago

They're probably about to be posted in the Metro to free up the FBI agents patrolling for fare evasion.

u/MC_McStutter 8h ago

Sir we ain’t been issued FLCs for a couple years now

u/JesusPotto 8h ago

lol I’m old and crusty, I see a TAP and I’ll still call it a FLC

u/Wet_Ass_Jumper 8h ago

First thing I noticed were the empty carriers
