Kinda wish I hadn't opened this link. Because this is so disturbing on soooo many levels. I'm sure we all know that something like this isn't about sex but about power. I think the most disturbing is that he may only get 55 years. I hope it's more like 101 years. It should be... and if I'd...

I have never felt unsafe as a woman, no. I have felt unsafe as a *human*, though... just because of places or situations in which neither gender would feel safe. If I was able, I removed myself from the situation or place and didn't return. I think I instinctively realize that if I put myself...

Oh my, I sure hope no one would bash you here for stating your opinion. I'm certain that wouldn't be tolerated. Yep, you've stated your views clearly. Actually what I'd do personally (I'd never carry a gun, for instance) and what I feel is necessary in today's society are two different...

So how's this different from you or I having a concealed carry permit that allows us to go into McDonalds and munch on our Big Mac with a gun in our Vera Bradley or waistband? Why would police officers have to be less protected than the rest of us? Maybe I misunderstood the original question...

Wow... bet he'll remember *that* every times he sees a turkey for the rest of his life! I agree with the other posters that there's surely something else going on here... something that was probably ready to blow for a long time. On the other hand, hope he didn't end up with salmonella for...

Just one more completely ridiculous instance of gossip about America getting waaaay out of hand in other countries. This is ludicrous to even bring it up. Every job has a certain amount of corruption. There are doctors and clergymen who get into the news, too... to take the profession as a...

Wait... hold the train here. I can usually understand the reasoning behind things when charges are involved... I think most of us can. But this time I need a little help... is there an officer here who can tell us why this would have been charged as aggravated assault and not attempted murder...

Place: Richmond, Texas Hero: Ramon Morales When: June of this year Officer Morales pulled this woman from the tracks *just* before the train came. Way to go, Officer. Kudos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1uVMKtOvnI

Well, @Muthoni , I'd really like to say that I haven't noticed the negativity, but... :( nope, can't say that because it's gotten a lot worse as the years go by. Yes, the front pages of newspapers and websites are saturated with the negative news. *Maybe* a "feel-good" story will find its...

The Maine State Police are today stationed outside the home of the nurse, Kaci Hickox, who refuses to obey the quarantine for returning Ebola workers in Africa. I'm having trouble understanding this one. I don't know why she thinks it's a good idea to turn this into a political issue when so...

I like my job very much... and I'm glad to say that it's what I've wanted to be doing ever since... hmmm, I think I first decided when I was a sophomore in high school. Before that my goal was to be the best nurse or the best teacher ever :o but then things changed and I've been doing my dream...

This really depends on the maturity level. I've known 10 and 11 year olds who would be mature enough to have a phone, but others the same age who are given phones and have them lost or broken in a week flat. I also don't think that smart phones are necessary for kids. If parents use the...

This is nothing short of amazing... I can't help but wondering how many people would have done the same. An elderly man in diabetic shock hit a gas pump... it exploded. Off-duty officer was there ready to pump his own gas... ran right over there to pull the man to safety. Kudos to Officer...

This thread was from 2013 and somehow found its way to the top again... I hope that the original poster did absolutely great and is well on his or her way to being the best officer that sheriff's department ever had... but it's been well over a year so there probably won't be an update. :confused:

I can't begin to describe how annoyed I get hearing people in blogs, media, forums, etc. etc. going on about officers in the news with negative stories. Let's hear some of the good... it greatly outweighs the bad, and yet in today's [what I call] "zombie society" we hear so much of the bad...

Hmmm... good question. Currently since I don't have a phone (it's the way I prefer) the 'Net is the only way I have to keep up with family, so I think I'd start getting nervous in 2 or 3 days. (It's happened.) If really pushed, I suppose I could go a week before getting extremely shaken...

For many crimes I agree... but do you still feel this way knowing that the topic is about a cold blooded murder caught on video? Just hide them and let them go on to have their friends, go to school, get a job... life as usual? (Not much change of being found innocent when it's all on the...

Calling his supervisor was the only thing to do... so you did the right thing. You can feel good about being a parent who cares about the child's welfare. So many don't. :( Sending a child off with someone smelling of alcohol... *never* a good decision. And the officer... are you serious...

This is so very sad. :( I don't see anywhere that says it was a police chief, though.. it was a sheriff's deputy. But in any case, I'd like to think that I would have known better as a teenager to be sneaking into my house knowing that my dad is trained about intruders. I do not blame the...

Waving the thing around as if it was real gets into the terroristic threats area... and no, it is certainly not always easy to tell the toys from the real thing. Some manufacturers are making them very realistic. You can't really take the risk that it's real and wait for someone to kill...
