It sounds like the man had the respect of his peers and local community. What a tragic loss. My condolences go out to his family and his police force. He will no doubt leave behind a fantastic legacy, which his force seems very keen to keep alive. A caring and nurturing soul, may he RIP.

I'm not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, I think it's a good tactic that may shock the lad into behaving. On the other, I do wonder if he may just see it as a badge of honour, something to brag to his friends about. I don't know, I can't call it. I agree sometimes ill behaved...

I agree, if they are found to have caused his death through gross neglect and misconduct, I think they ought to be sentenced accordingly. However, the police have been getting a very bad rep lately, and we can only hope this isn't political, a witch hunt that will culminate in the government...

Anything that involves the abuse and exploitation of children, I would definitely, in a heartbeat be in touch with law enforcement. Anything else I would probably seek legal counsel first and then take it from there. Luckily, touch wood, so far I've never stumbled across anything sinister!

I find it hard to sympathise with the would be robber, because had he got the chance, he would have taken out that store manager! I bet he never saw that one coming. You live by the sword, you die by the sword comes to mind.

I read this article somewhere else yesterday and couldn't help but admire this lady's courage! That poor sod probably saw a "little old lady" and fancied his chances, not knowing he'd be up against it! I say you go, grandma! Good for her. I would like to have seen the expression on his face as...

I don't drive, but want to get lessons soon and get back on the road. I honestly would be very petrified if a fellow driver turned on me and started hurling abuse at me. But rather than have a showdown, I'd rather rise above it and drive in the opposite direction, or away from wherever that...

How bizarre! They're estranged, and he's supposed to be the father of her unborn child? Surely if they'd been hooking up, there'd be no need to force him to sign any papers,let alone throw a hot beverage at him? She probably isn't sure who the father is. That woman is off her rocker, and that...

Obviously this was an honest mistake and an unfortunate accident. Thank God the little girl is ok and it was the hand rather than a very vital part that could have resulted in a very tragic outcome. As I always say, with gun ownership laws being so lax in America; there are many guns in many...

@JoanMcWench, that's exactly what I thought when I first read the piece; I thought that it would be so easy to have a knee jerk reaction and respond in kind, obviously going into survival mode, something that you don't take time to think about because it's instinct. Someone attacks you, you hit...

WTH...This is the most bizarre story I've read a while! I hope we get a few more details as to what was going on with that. He must have been getting up to no good! I bet he felt so stupid hanging upside down and having to be rescued. All this friends will have a laugh at his expense for a very...

I totally agree with thegrey1 and Philosophydaddy. These parents will almost certainly be they types who don't know the meaning of the word shame. You'll probably find that they're exactly the same if not worse than their children, the types of parents who will defend their children's behaviour...

This is very scary, and seems to be a widespread problem across the world now! When we live in England in this apartment block, we had a few nasty neighbours over the years. But the one who really scared me the most was this one very loud and lairy lout. We were on the 6th floor and he was on...

I don't know what the actual rule is, but whatever the police office wants me to do, obviously within reason, I'm willing to do because I don't have anything to hide. Not that anybody else is. I am a law abiding citizen and I'll willingly comply with any request to roll my window down, look in...

I totally agree with the idea of letting the police take their weapons home with them. They don't really finish work in the true sense. They are always on standby and can be called upon at any time of the day to go and attend to a situation urgently. A police officer never truly clocks off. I...

Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Eminem are among artists whose whole albums really talk to me. You get albums that are very hit and miss, but these three are among artists who never let me down. At the moment, an album I've been listening to and loving more the more I listen to it is If You Wait by...

Shouldn't that already be a prerequisite anyway because of the nature of their job? I definitely agree that they need to be fit and in shape, but I'm not for them being rewarded for it as such. I think they ought to be fit on recruitment and it has to be something they also maintain throughout...

Luckily for me, I live in a gated type area, with security at the gate. So it's pretty safe. But I have heard very heart warming stories about neighbourhood watch groups around the country. People really pull together as a community and will drop everything to come to the rescue of a neighbour...

You go grandma, what a feisty lady! I'm not big on guns but in this case I'm all for what this courageous lady did. Her calm and collected demeanour is to be commended. He probably saw what he thought was a little old lady he could easily take out. This is the reason many of us are now jaded and...

That's bang out of order! It looks like the nasty piece of work deserved the beating he got that put him in hospital to start with. He was probably mouthing off at the wrong person. He didn't have dementia as far as we can tell, so what was his excuse? This is why I don't like being around...
