"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39 "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Matthew 6:5-6○

I disagree. It’s almost weird that they even have a SF team in the SS because when was the last time the capital has seen a legitimate threat not only that when was the last time any high ranking member of government was attacked by a legit threat?

@handled99 9 ай бұрын

The edge of his stock was pushed into his plate carrier to give the weapon more stability. When shooting a rifle wearing kit, often it is difficult to get the buttstock seated flush on your shoulder/pec area due to the armor. So to help compensate, you can just dig the edge of the buttstock into the top part of your plate carrier. I do this during training.

I as there in the rough neighborhoods of nyc willing to put it all in the line to protect an innocent person. These agents take their job extremely seriously and are just the very best. These fellows are in awesome shape and train regularly for any scenario. I recommend that unit to anyone in law enforcement who wants to challenge themselves.
