    The Baltimore Crisis

    I'm not sure what crisis you're referring to as there was no link posted. The only thing I assume you may be referring to is this: Congressman links Baltimore crisis to same-sex marriage - Nick Gass - POLITICO These are just absurd claims, in my opinion! I can't understand the congressman's...

    So Sad...

    This is just too sad for words! Like Josie says, it's baffling that although the parents were known to the police and had previously been arrested for drug possession, nothing appears to have been done to safeguard the baby's wellbeing. Not only was this baby failed by his parents, but by...

    More police officers shot!

    Well the two thugs, who appear to be related, have been arrested! This indeed is a travesty. Just what's going on in America??!! This is depressing and just horrible. I too hope that they're both brought to justice and the harshest of sentences meted out to them. Let's see where their street...

    The evil that people do...

    I agree, this story wasn't very well written! It's just all over the place and very confusing. But I'm just grateful that the baby was found and came out of the whole thing unscathed. It's a shame the mother lost her life in this callous manner. Let's hope over the next few days some details...

    Neighbor From Hell

    You are probably right, Diane; with the advent of modern technology and social media platforms, we're probably now privy to incidents like these where we normally would have gone on blissfully unaware of them. Plus, the media is reporting more and more on them now. Nobody was as relieved as I...

    Injuries and becoming a police officer

    I'm no expert on the subject, but somehow I don't see this being a problem! But I hope some more knowledgeable members will be able to shed some light on your question. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a problem, seeing as apparently being too smart can be a hindrance LOL

    Are police shows like "Cops" authentic?

    I also believe that it's real to a certain extent. It has to be made TV ready and a few spices added to jazz it up for entertainment and ratings, no doubt. Many police officers will tell you that their job is not as "glamorous" as it made to look in some police shows LOL

    I LOVE the dumbest criminals stories

    Hehe I know! I mean, how stupid can you get?! Some girl got caught with a lady's iPhone because she kept taking loads of selfies on it. The owner had all her devices synced. The owner in turn just posted on her Facebook wall asking if anyone knew the fool, putting it out there that she was using...

    Race

    In my opinion, it's not right but it almost certainly happens. I don't think it's ever made public for obvious reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are quotas to fill. It happens everywhere, not just in the police force.

    How frustrated do you get?

    I also hate seeing so many people texting and talking on the phone while driving, yet they don't seem to get in trouble for it. Whatever happened to waiting until you get to wherever you're going, or using the hand free?! I also hate when some women boast about having got caught drink driving...

    Missouri town responds to officer exodus after election of black female mayor

    Re: Article: Missouri town responds to officer exodus after election of black female It does feel like as though we are not being told the full story in its entirety! I mean, one of the people who resigned said he had to quit because "he feared for his safety", while another said "he felt he...

    Robotic camera's and drones... does your department use them?

    This sort of advanced and sophisticated technology is a long way off being implemented in Botswana. I guess the level of crime also doesn't really warrant it, especially as I can imagine the cost being exceedingly steep. -and who pays for it? The tax payer. It may be required in the US though...

    Do you develop Anxiety?

    I have never worked in law enforcement, but I have previously held a highly stressful job. Luckily, I never developed any PTSD or anxiety issues. What I did notice was that I kept having bouts of what I can only describe as mild cases of panic attacks, I couldn't breathe, I would hyperventilate...

    Dangers Of Craigslist Meetups and Sales

    What a nasty piece of work that Gordon is! To do this over his lunch break and just carry on with his life as if nothing happened is beyond VILE. I hope he gets the very harshest of sentences. Good thing this is America, there's every chance he'll get his just desserts. I feel for poor Taylor...

    What Do You Think?

    This can only have a positive outcome because let's face it, there's nothing of that nature currently offered in the curriculum. In my opinion, this could really help in shaping the youth into more tolerant, calmer, more discipline and level headed adults. I wonder why something of this nature...

    How do you handle online bullying?

    It's a complex one, because like DancingLady has pointed out, not all cyber bullying is considered a crime, so you can't always call the police. I appreciate ignoring it doesn't really help the situation, and may actually worsen the behaviour. But I have been on the receiving end of cyber...

    Follow Up: Best. Mom. Ever. (Toya Graham)

    Wow, I have so much respect for this woman! I don't tire of watching the clip at all. In a world where we have parents defending this thuggish behaviour and even participating in it themselves, it's very refreshing. I feel that all those people criticising her about "her abuse of her son", are...

    Police and citizens

    The problem with some cops, I suspect, is that they become disgruntled in their job and take it out on the very people they are meant to protect and serve. I think you also have some who absolutely love the authority being a police officer affords them, which results in them throwing their...

    Woman Attacks Twin Sister Over Sex Toy

    This such a bizarre story! What exactly was she after; the vibrator, the boyfriend or both?! Maybe it's true what they say about twins, they literally share everything! This story is wrong on so many levels!
