Wow, keeping a baseball bat is an arrest-able offence??? What are you supposed to do if there is someone in your home that shouldn't be? You don't know what they want or what they might try to do. If they try and kill you for whatever reason, calling the police isn't going to stop them...

Alcohol fueled public brawl. This is just sad. The people who participated should feel ashamed but they probably don't. They probably are bragging to their friends how they got into this huge fight and how awesome it was. These are the types of people who get into this kind of stupidity. If only...

When I was younger I kept a baseball bat beside my bed. Of course, I am in the US so now I keep a loaded 9mm in a gun safe next to my bed instead but you don't quite have that option. I'd say a baseball bat or other such blunt object that is easy to wield and can do enough damage to a perp to...

I am glad these these perps have been caught but I wonder about the other two. What was the crime of Curtis Banks and Cornelius Clark? I am especially interested in what Clark did to be arrested in association with these murderers. On another note, I think if these officers had had a chance to...

This is wrong. If an officer does this they are crooked no matter what. There are double standards out there that are against women but there are also ones that favor them. I am against both. Women are more likely to be let off lightly for a crime than a guy as well. Makes me wonder what these...

Everyone is capable of violence. Everyone is capable of murder. It all depends on bringing that person into the right, or wrong depending on how you look at it, situation to bring about that result. Seems like parents spend most of a child's youth teaching them to be able to control themselves...

If that report of them tazing the guy while he was restrained in a chair is true, I don't care what color any of them are, they deserve to be dismissed and criminal charges need to be filed. Especially since the report says that there is a clearly written policy for when tazers may not be used...

From what I understand the military has been using drones in EOD for a while now. That is at least one military grade piece of hardware I wouldn't mind departments getting a hold of. It makes things a lot safer with much less risk to human life for bomb threats. Once the potential bomb is...

That is pretty brutal. He was wearing a helmet but it popped off his head and his head met pavement. He sounds like a man who believed in what he was doing and was dedicated to helping people. Texas just lost a great man. My sympathies go out to his family and his friends as well as the police...

And this is exactly why police shouldn't conduct no-knock raids. You can set a perimeter, put guys on any potential exits of the building and then knock on the front door. If the suspect runs, you are prepared and they aren't likely to get away. If they are armed and they fight back, they...

Ive been on a Rise Against kick lately. I've been listening to their Appeal to Reason album over and over. I also really like to listen to Apocalyptica's Inquisition Symphony while writing papers and doing homework. I also enjoy listening to hip hop and blues. Outlast's White Ford Sings the...

Re: Article: Baltimore Riots: Buildings on fire, stores looted, state of emergency de Except that is historically untrue. If you look at the civil rights movement, it was the large protests, the peaceful marches that were met with police violence that was the catalyst for change. The actions...

Spot on. Hell, I got my associate's degree at my local community college and then waited a year to start on my bachelor's. Getting back into the swing of things, even just after taking a year off, is tough. It is best to get in, get it done and move on. If you are in the US and coming out of the...

This is hilarious. Gotta wonder how the hell this guy got up there in the first place and then how the hell he got stuck lol. That is a lot of cops at the scene. The first responder probably called in and said, "Y'all ain't gonna believe this shit." I wonder how many of them took cell phone pics...

Huh ok. Well, today I learned. I guess I skimmed over the exact location though. It makes sense to be extra careful around installations such as NASA and other such facilities because, as you said, they are potential terrorist targets. In that context it does seem a bit out of place for a random...
