Yikes!

During training of the cadet corps of the Units of Pacifying Police (UPP) in Rio de Janeiro last week, Brazilian police evidently thought it would be a swell idea to let this girl with zero experience toss  a grenade -- a LIVE grenade.

Well let's just say it didn't exactly go as planned...

My son was an NCO in the grenade pit at Camp LeJeune when a newbie pulled the pin and promptly dropped the grenade in the pit. The kid froze and my son barely managed to drag him out before it went off.

How do police "pacify" with grenades?

Simple. They threaten to throw a grenade at people if they do not calm down.

cloudmountain ~ WOW, I didn't think there was an American male alive who did that.

There isn't an AMERICAN male who does.

Pearls Before Swine ~ He throws like he grew up without a father. And, as a matter of fact...

As a matter of fact, he had a tranny nanny named Turdi in Indonesia.

Yup, that would be the proper procedure, get the recruit out.

In the case I cited, no one knew where it was so everyone just froze in place. The most frightening for me was the two man fire support assault when the jerk turned up as my match for this live fire drill. The sergeant at the range pulled him back replaced him with someone else. It was well known this jerk was trying to get out, the “mistake” on the grenade range and firing off a live round when all weapons were supposed to have been cleared, three times already, preceeded this drill. His last way out I guess the SGT figured was to plug someone and it was not to be on his watch.

Au contraire.

Give him a whole crate of grenades to toss around.

And zero is filling our military and infantry with girls and fags. Our enemies are laughing their a$$es off.

Looks like they’re trying to just recruit people off the streets and turn them into cops in a week or two.

Same thing happened to me at Fort Ord. The trainee, started to throw and the gernade left his hand as he wound up, and landed among us. Kicked into the pit andhit the ground. the training gernades weren’t that lethal so no one was hurt.
