Niceeee.

Man, some of you farkers have small dicks. I had to put on 3x zoom.

COP1: Damn, we've got fifty trillion dollars left over in the budget!
COP2: When do we have to give it back?
COP1: Give it back? We'll never have to give it back if we spend it!
COP2: But what do we need? More guns? More dogs? A tank? A fancy mobile command unit? Body armor?
COP1: We already have all that stuff.
COP2: *think*think*think*think*think*
COP1: *think*think*think*think*think*
COP2: I got it! Paragliders!
COP1: LOLWUT
COP2: Seriously, how farking fun would it be to just sort of glide over the city watching people from above?
COP1: Hmmmmmm...
COP2: It would cost fifty trillion bucks, too, when you factor in all the extra training and stuff.
COP1: Awesome!!

PPP?
I have a cable internet connection so I don't have to mess with it.

Hey Subby - it is Palm Bay (my hometown), which is a couple hours from Palm Beach. -2 for not reading the story.

sometimes i wonder if people are really rational

Alright: who's going to be the first to start whining about how they have no right to do their job if it involves looking down at us instead of around them?

Skeet?

This was local news 2 weeks ago. Why is ABC slow to the uptake?

My condolences.

/Go Rockledge Raiders.

I wonder how many of these air cops will end up getting shot down? Seems like Florida would be the type of state that people would do that very quickly.

Can't wait until a case gets overturned because the assailant didn't know it was a police paraglider flying overhead.

Oh, and give someone a decently powered rifle and that son of a biatch is going down hard

How fast and accurately can a paraglider land? or will they have to radio in for support if they see something?

DUCK COP SEASON

If the whole point of this is to avoid the use of airplanes or helicopters, how does this contraption get off the ground? Sure you could do a cliff launch, but I don't think there are many cliffs around there...

Running.

I'm not kidding: one turns on the motor, starts running so that the parachute lifts off the ground and fills with air, and then revs up the motor which will then drive the apparatus until landing.

See the article at the Wikipedia for more details.

Catapult.

NightOwl2255: Skeet?

I lol'd!

If I had a dollar for every time a paraglider saw me masturbating...

Well, watch out for flak over my house.

They even have a bear in the air?

Hey, pig, you want me to roll over so you can have a better view?

How long can a paraglider stay up, anyway?

I'd be masturbating while flying one of those things.

/hey is it raining?

JonnyBGoode: How long can a paraglider stay up, anyway?

With or without Viagra?

theknuckler_33: If I had a dollar for every time a paraglider saw me masturbating...

...I'd have four dollars.

Skeet shooting?

Just wait until your over 18 and you're abused under 24/7 surveillance for the act of thinking by a large cult organization (compromising the majority) that nobody talks about but which is operated by the military--then you'll wish those paragliders had joined you!

HawkEyes: theknuckler_33: If I had a dollar for every time a paraglider saw me masturbating...

...I'd have four dollars.

That's still a lot of paragliders all things considered.

Positively the second stupidest thing I've ever read.

...I'd be making money in a very weird way.

I hope so. I hate having to go looking for an audience.

That sound you just heard was the county's insurance agent spewing his soup all over his corporate laptop.

I Have two friends that got seriously farked up doing
paragliding.

You see the concept is that it's not a thought crime if you can't think, therefore your free to think whatever you want, so long as you don't have the capability to actually think anything, which is illegal. You are free to pretend to, as speech and thinking aren't really related to logic or cognitive ability but memory, so as you can see all these people are just plagiarizing logic or using moldy linear logic foundations. The funny part is how there primary logic foundations work, it's kind of like somebody constantly looking up the definition of the word definition in a dictionary so they can find out what a dictionary is instead of looking up the definition of dictionary in the dictionary. Another fallacy is that instead of assuming that the definition of a dictionary is exactly what is listed in the dictionary, they presume that the definition of dictionary is better located in the definition of definition.

If HawkEyes would have gotten 4 dollars, I wonder how much each individual paraglider would get if they got a dollar for every time they spotted someone masturbating. Is it more common to be seen masturbating or to see it?

Maybe Phoebe Cates has some insights on this issue.

Oh, sure. They'll approve this plan when pigs fly. Wait, what?

FTA: "The canopy of trees in our community prevented the helicopter from seeing a woman who had [died] close to her car. The paragliders would have been able to get much lower."

Paragliders can fly lower than trees?

Chief Berger sees the gliders as an ideal tool for searching for missing elderly people who have wandered away.

I can't believe I'm reading this. Can cops just do anything with tax money now? Paragliders. Para. Gliders.

Yes you are. I think if I take off the photos of your mom it'll improve things quite a bit. Besides, she was getting a little chubby from all those seven calorie snacks.

Just kidding. I dont have a facebook account to post pictures of your mom to.

Yeah, seriously. The attempts to justify this are unbelievably ridiculous and transparent. I mean, don't get me wrong. If this came up at my job, and my superiors were as gullible as the general public, I'd be making up all kinds of excuses as to why I need to fly around all day. I just don't want to pay a cop to fly around looking for trouble when I'm sure there's a stack of unsolved cases on his desk.

Did they forget that paragliding takes a minimum of athleticism and skill? So are all the cops going to go to Hawaii now to get paragliding training?
