Definitely, the rich and famous get off much lighter for any infractions against the law. While we claim to have an impartial justice system it's evident that it can be swayed if you yield enough influence in society.

Students could try to break open the teacher's table during recess on something, in which case you would just have given a minor a gun. Perhaps not the principal's office then, but the teacher's lounge? Basically an area that is out of bounds to students, but accessible to teachers in event of...

She does come across as sensationalistic at times, I definitely agree that she's not the best out there. As stated she probably acts a little ignorant for viewer understanding and higher ratings.

I don't think its effective at all, it's very unsafe for both the officers involved and the home occupant. Both sides have suffered numerous fatalities over the past few years, with home owners thinking that they were being broken into and arming themselves in self-defense, and police killing...

Turning the son in would have led to a less severe punishment I think. Hope this doesn't ruin their relationship and the son realizes that his mother did it for his sake. It must have hurt her a lot.

It's really a case of some police officers abusing their power. Especially the recent no-knock warrants which have led to several innocent people being gunned down by police because they thought that they were being broken into by burglars.

I'm not in favor of concealed weapons. While I recognise the need for self defense weapons should not be present in the same classroom as students. I think a reasonable compromise would be placing a weapon in a secure locker in the principal's office, which no students are able to access.

I think under the law it still constitutes an offence. Personally I don't believe in second chances for this sort of thing, I would probably still call the cops on them.

Offering them something would make it seem like you were brown-nosing/bribing them. I think some police officers might interpret such an action as you trying to hide some wrongdoing.

It's always easy to say that an innocent man can stay in prison when you are a free man. Wrongful incaeceration does happen and it is one of the most horrible things in our justice system. I think neither of these are acceptable, why should we be forced to choose?

I feel that the use of standard target boards would have been more meaningful, since the centre of the target is clearly shown so that the shooters can clearly assess their capabilities. That said I honestly feel that the response to this was a bit of an overreaction.

I have to say I like the new site layout better, the color scheme also fits nicely with most police colors. The only thing which I'm not too fond of would be the starry background, but that's just my opinion.

While I'm not the religious type I fully embrace all the positive values and teachings. For this reason I also really admire Pope Francis and what he's doing, trying to resolve conflict between religious groups/atheists/homosexuals and emphasizing on the need to adopt morals and values instead.

I think the biggest issue is that US citizens have the right to bear arms, unlike the UK. It makes situations much more tense and life-or-death, since you must assume that the suspect is armed and dangerous. Simply talking to the suspect in this case without any firearms would be far more...

That uniform looks more like the gear for military police or other special tactical units. I think that the contemporary police uniforms that officers tend to wear for daily patrols are more formal and smart looking, they probably have drawn inspiration from smart wear worn by the army/navy.

The death penalty is a very delicate subject, it does have some arguably positive effects as a deterrant, and a means of closure for families of the victim. However it must be crystal clear that the convicted person is guilty of performing the evil crime without a trace of doubt, the evidence...

This is pretty common sense and should be taught to your children way before the sex talk. I think many points tie in nicely with treating people with mutual respect and practicing good manners.

We already have tasers, and they have been abused. I don't really see all that much difference between a taser and the stun gun.

I can speak English and Mandarin. I'm keen on learning new languages, but personally I find the steep learning curve and the difficulty in finding people to practice with as major hindrances.

I think it varies greatly based on vocation. Some police officers I know work shifts, 2-3 days straight on, and then 2 days off. It means that they occasionally miss entire weekends, and have holidays when everyone else is working on the weekdays!
