I am not surprised! Did you guys see how much bitcoin was worth at one point? They probably thought that it was a quick way to get rich! If they had access to it, I can see how it was totally tempting. I am glad that the bitcoin market has slowed down a bit. Too many shady dealings with bitcoin.

Hello there elementalimage! How goes it? I hope you have a great time on the forum! There are tons of great articles and fun topics to discuss. So far I have had a blast on the site. Greetings from California and welcome!

This happened to my sister's boyfriend. You have no idea how many times this happens! My sister's boyfriend had cops take money out of his wallet right in front of his face! They are so crooked around here that it is hard to trust them.

It is a logical solution! If you think about our food production, we use a lot of water and create CO2 emissions to make that food. Why not use a natural resource that is very abundant? I say we use insects because they are a great source of protein and they are FREE!

I would eat insects and I have eaten insects! My grandmother tricked me into eating a chocolate covered cricket when I was a kid. She laughed when she saw my expression while revealing what I had really ate. It was a mean trick, but in all honesty, they tasted pretty good! It is a good source of...

I don't think that vitamins are garbage. There are just garbage brands out there. You should get your nutrients from foods. That is for sure! Eat right then you won't need any pills.

I think that most people relax with a drink or with their families. It is important to let off some steam and to vent. I wish that there were more programs that help officers learn how to relax.

I am glad that some steps are being taken after this incident. They NYPD really needs to stop thinking that they are the best because of 9/11. I wish other police forces got some recognition.

Do you think this has anything to do with tenure and it is harder for people to join? How are academies in other parts of the states? I heard in Los Angeles it is hard to join because of tenure.

That is horrific! I can't believe that he was proud to call himself a "no limits" type of guy. What is his damage? I hope justice is served.

My ex was in the Navy and he said that they did a training where they had to pepper spray him in the face. He said it was the worst feeling ever. They made everyone get sprayed in the face with pepper spray. I don't really see how this was "training," but it was done and mandatory.

I don't think that lethal force should be used on someone who is unarmed. The only way this could happen is if someone is significantly larger than the officer and they are charging at them. Even then, I don't see how lethal force still applies. I don't think this is a guideline.

My teachers would write things like "Is too much of a chatter box." When I was a kid. I never understood what that meant until I was older. I think it just showed that I was intelligent! :D I was definitely an attention seeker.

Wow, that is horrible. I wonder if she was giving them attitude or if they noticed that she was under the influence. A similar thing happened to my uncle. His wife was hitting him and when the cops showed up, they arrested him because her chest was red. It was red from her acting up, but they...

Hi! Welcome to the forum! I am from Los Angeles! I think it is so cool that you are from Denmark! I hope to learn more about the way the police are in your country. Welcome and happy posting!
