LEO discount frustration

I guess your forum name says a lot about you. I said most of our military personnel, not all. Do you disagree with that?

You're arguing against emotion, it won't get you anywhere. Come join me, we can go shopping for jackboots together. They're great for stomping drunks and intimidating potheads. Oh I also get 5% off. Score!

At that generous discount rate, you better get a few pairs. The number of potheads is growing exponentially!


Never implied that. If you feel my post did I apologize.

No need to apologize, I don't really ever get offended by anything, certainly not by an internet discussion. :cheers:
 
So in the U.S. vortex optics offers a 40% discount to military and law enforcement discount. Of course here they do not. So why do companies offer these things elsewhere but very often do not in Canada? I have run into this with a few companies. I looked into the colt leo discount which in the U.S. is very nice and here it is 10% The discounts offered here very often do not even cover taxes or shipping. Anyway just thought we should get the same offer and those companies who offer the discounts should offer the same terms as they do state side.

Wow! What a deal 40% off vortex for law enforcement and military! I'm sure they would honor it if you had some sort of identification even from Canada police or military......Just order what you need from the US problem solved!
 
So since I am a retired LEO and just reached 65 years old, I went to my distributors and asked what discounts I qualified for...I'm still waiting for a response. Phil.

That's a huge discount....

I don't expect an LE/MIL discount, but when I get it, I certainly don't complain.

I too notice that you get far more MIL discounts down in the states than you do up here. They've thanked me for my service even though I'm Canadian.
 
Predictable response..... something about the training ALWAYS comes out.

Hope you get your discounts.

Well thanks for showing your true colours so we know there's no need to waste much time with you. Something about the police and we'll drag out the Nazi stuff. Way to keep it original. ;)

My wife gets cost + 10% at sportchek. Our baby carrier thing cost her 250$ instead of 600$. Wolverine gives me 5%, which I rarely mention since my orders are not significant enough to make a couple bucks matter. Do us a favour, call sportchek and put in a complaint. McDonalds gets half price too.

I'll bow out now while I count my millions saved off 5%.
 
Wow, it's rare I am at a loss for words. 158 soldiers die in the last ten years, mostly by getting blown up or shot and you think the police have it rough? You ever see what an IED does to a lav and the people inside? Ever hear the expression,"human soup"? Yea cops have it bad all right, beating up mouthy drunks or taking pot from kids in parks. Yea hard day at the office I guess. Most cops die whle driving most are texting while driving. The chances of being turned to human soup or being targeted for what they do are almost nil.

Cops deal with a lot of bad #### dude. Smooshed up children in car accidents. Victims of ###ual assault and murder. Domestic abuse. I'd expect to hear this kind of #### talk from a no-hook private at the bar trying to impress chicks.

Wow thats a very ignorant comment...
 
I don’t understand why anybody could complain about any kind of a discount on anything. A retailer is giving you a lower price on something tan they would normally charge a retail customer for no reason other than they want to. That’s awesome. Thank you mr retailer. The fact that somebody else might get or give a bigger discount is not even relevant itks like complaining your parents didn’t spend as much on your Christmas present as they did on your sisters grow up

.... To say nothing of the "messy suicides" and the subsequent NOK ! ......... And Cops have Post Traumatic Stress, same as the Military, and the suicide rate among Police Officers is high as well. And the list goes on and on !............ Front Line Police Officers pay a high price for their commitment and dedication .:bangHead: ..... David K
 
There's no doubt it's not the easiest gig going.

However, many of the frustrations with police are generated by their own actions. People just aren't buying the "helping old ladies across the road" routine any longer.

And when someone points out the very wide ranging undeniable abuses it's often met with "there's always a few bad apples". Well today it's looking more like bad orchards. Plenty of documentation.

Not to mention people are getting fed up with the undeniable fact police are very much revenue generators working for the Crown Corporation operating under Corporate Statute Law.

Cops bring it on themselves then always go on about how tough a job it is. Not saying it's not a tough job, we just don't want to hear about it being touch when cops are so often today conducting themselves in a not so honourable manner.

Sorry boys, have witnessed far to much to buy into it any longer.

The best cops I've ever known are the ones who got out of it for the same reasons many don't like about them. Hard truths.

Bottom line at end of the day police are the enforcement arm of the POS government forcing their POS agendas.

Just following orders is far too often a disgusting excuse.

I don't respect the profession and NEVER will until the Blue Line starts arresting and cracking the heads of the POS people who really run this country. Until then, they deserve every criticism.

Given all that, no one wants to hear the whining about not getting enough discounts.

So you want the police to randomly go up to the people who run this country and crack their head open? That's wonderful. Who is it that's actually running this country by the way?
 
You guys are all pussy' s we all know firefighter have the hardest ####ing job! I just played 6 games of foosball in a row and now I'm gunna shower and watch Jurassic park.

I'd have no problem with a corrupt politician getting an extra bump on the head while being arrested for their crimes. True traitors to the citizens of Canada.
Frankly, it's quite clear the entire police agencies and legal system pretty much turn a blind eye to the vast majority of it, certainly to the top and worst of it .... and we all know it.

As for who's really running the country ? I'd be far more interested in your answer.
