Don't worry, women's sports will be ending soon.

I wonder how WNBA fans will react? Has anyone talked to either of them?

A few US police agencies have sent officers to Paris for the Olympics.
I've seen NYPD, LAPD and Fairfax County so far.

This seems out of place. They sent the cops AND their cruisers over? That seems a bit excessive.

On one hand, this doesnt make sense and makes me wonder if this is a stock photo/b-roll that accidentally got mixed in. On the other hand, I could see them waste tons of money flying their cars over with them.

And his duty radio would probably be worthless over there.

Well, that's and exaggeration.
I saw that one had 7 or 8 fans last week.

2 fans, 2 friends begrudgingly attending with them, 1 player's mom, and the guy who lost a bet with his buddies.

I wonder if it isn't a repro made for the event and why the officer is checking it out. I mean, why would he be interested in his own car like a tourist? I doubt LAPD has any CVPIs in service, and if so it'd be really surprising for it to be in that good of a condition. The rifles inside are also suspect, given I doubt US domestic law enforcement gets any consideration for importation of weapons into France. Makes me think it's a prop/repro, but I of course don't know for sure.

As far as the radio, it's possible to just issue a loaner while there *but* the current digital radios can be reprogrammed to whatever frequencies you want pretty quickly. You can add a "bank" of channels with no issue then reprogram it back to the original "bank" just as easily.

yes.
the change in tech is amazing with radios.
I remember changing crystals, and tuning multiple 'stages' of the radio.
It was a pain in the butt.

Now... plug it into the computer, and hit "send"

All wanting to see the black girls pick on the new white girl. That's the interest.

It was post-match, what's the big deal? Just kidding! This ain't Krav Maga.

Equestrian jumping qualifications are on.

I am certain that one horse needs chromosome testing!

Have you guys read how much the medal winners are paid from their countries?

You know what's up. A true detective.

It's an old US cop car imported in France and used for movies/TV.

They have a Charger and a Ford Explorer as well.

The owner is actually a French police officer. He drives it around Paris while wearing a replica LAPD uniform (not illegal since it's not a French agency).
The guns are movie props but real foreign LEOs get to bring their service pistols into France. Not sure if they also bring long guns.



They often get pulled over by French cop.
Having lights and sirens on a civilian vehicle is not supposed to be legal

I'm not sure which of us is the evil twin, but the sergeant and I look a lot alike. I showed it to my wife and she did a double take.

Bad disguise, those guys aren't nearly fat enough...

Yes it's a movie prop but some countries actually brought their own vehicles to Paris.
Cops from over 34 countries are in Paris at the moment.
The state of Qatar came with several armored police vehicles.

Did you have a great-great-great uncle go west never to be heard from again? Looks like he made it to Cali.

I thought he was one of the French guys playing pretend, but I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if they bought them specifically for the Olympics and then just dump them in the ocean or something afterward.
