    Have you ever stolen anything?

    I have also experimented with this in my teen years. My brother and I would shoplift in bookstores and take small things which are hard to detect like pens, pencils, poke chips, etc. We did it for fun and really had no intention of making money out of it. Eventually we outgrew this also and did...

    Community Policing

    This is a very good idea because the police force cannot monitor and handle all the security, protection and crime prevention of a whole community, especially those that are densely populated and has a large land area. Crimes usually go unseen and undetected in these kinds of communities and the...

    Do you workout in the AM or PM?

    I work out in the morning because I am more energetic and active at those times. I am a morning person, and I am an early riser because I believe the day would more productive and more activities and tasks can be done when you start the day early. One of these activities is working out and...

    Do you think there should be capital punishment for terrorists?

    I am torn between having it implemented and not. When I see the news about how these terrorists are causing massive casualties including innocent women and children being killed, I am so frustrated that I want them to be pay through capital punishment. I just can’t seem to accept that they are...

    What do you consider excessive force?

    Excessive force was surely used on your friend and this should not be practiced by officers of the law because it is very offensive to people. Even though he has done something wrong, he shouldn’t have been treated that way. My older brother was also caught by the police at one time because he...

    Do you prefer to work out at the gym or at home?

    I prefer to work out outside of home, may it be in a gym or a sports complex. I like exercising outside better because if I am at home, I am always tempted to skip exercising and just watch TV or play or surf the internet on the computer. It is also more fun to exercise in the gym because I...

    What can I do to be safe while running or walking outside?

    That is really frightening news and it is better to have someone with you than walk or run alone outside. My sister has always been cautioned by my uncle, who is an officer, to have someone when going outside at night, like a buddy. She always does some night running since she cannot find any...

    Do you take anything for stress or anxiety?

    Not an officer, but I take multivitamins with iron as an anti stress supplement. It doesn’t really say that it can take away stress but it has some sort of placebo on me that I feel much relaxed after taking this certain tablet. I take it once daily before I go to sleep and I feel very good...

    Doughnuts?

    Everybody loves doughnuts, especially when paired up with some hot, freshly brewed black coffee. I am not an officer and I usually eat doughnuts as an afternoon snack when I get hungry while at work. My favorite flavor would be a plain, original-glazed one, and I can eat four pieces in one...

    Do you enjoy watching anime?

    I have been an anime fan for a long time but lately I haven’t watched anything or know of any new anime. But to relate the purpose of this forum and this post, one of my favorite anime is Detective Conan. I really liked the premise and setting of this show, not to mention that I’m a fan of...

    Unnecessary level of self-defense

    Human rights groups may have a problem with this. In my opinion if the offender is down, it is enough already and unnecessary attacks are not needed. Sometimes it can be overlooked with the defense that it was only an act of self defense that is why the victim fatally wounded the offender or...

    Is the 911 number abused too much?

    It is definitely abused in that situation because they could have resolved their issue on their own without having to call 911. I haven’t called 911 for years because I assure that I only call during emergencies or really grave situations. Too bad that these situations happen because the 911...

    Can this count for animal abuse?

    I hope there are other ways you can resolve that problem. It’s so sad if you’ll put down your dog for that reason only. Maybe you can get trainer to potty train him or place him outside instead and bring him in the house if you are around to watch him if he is about to pee. In our home we do...

    Can Retired Officers Enforce The Law?

    I don’t have knowledge regarding this but if you were to ask me, I see nothing wrong with them arresting an offender even if they are already retired. There is a bill called a citizen’s arrest which is somewhat like this, where citizens can arrest offenders even if they have no badges or not...

    Drug Problems

    I agree with this. Drugs are very accessible nowadays, and because of increased population and the rise of pushers its movement cannot be monitored constantly. Here in our area, most criminals are drug users and they always reason drugs as the reason to why they commit the crime so these two...
