    What are you reading?

    I'm reading Paulo Coelho's latest novel, Adultery. Most of his novels are good, but I still like his simple story the Alchemist the best. Definitely give it a read if you haven't.

    South Korean ferry captain sentenced to 36 years for ferry disaster

    With many dismayed parents crying for the death penalty, the captain of the ferry disaster escaped the gallows and was acquitted of his murder charge. Although there were many other factors which worsened the disaster, it is undoubtable that his shameful actions were a major cause in this...

    Lunch breaks

    If it were doughnuts and coffee it would explain the many obese cops I've been seeing nowadays.

    Do you still go to the cinema? How often?

    These days, I usually only go to the movies once a month, or once every two months, if there are movies I really want to see. I try to avoid getting to the cinema on a weekend, though, to avoid the rush of people who are trying to get a break from their kids, or get the most of their weekend in...

    Exercise Routine

    I would imagine that there is one, but if a police officer fails he will probably just have to attend some exercise "remedial training". I doubt that there are severe penalties like dismissal from the force in place, as that could lead to disputes and employment issues.

    #1 Goal

    For the realist cop? To get home alive at the end of the day. My respect for them risking their lives to protect the community.

    Do you listen to live police scanners?

    I don't own a police scanner, nor would I want one or know where to find one. I think that listening to police broadcasts would be a fairly boring and meaningless thing to do, unless you are planning something criminal and are looking to avoid detection?

    Natural Means to Relieve Stress

    Most people would say exercise. I find lifting or martial arts exercises to be great for venting your stress and anger in a healthy manner. I also find drinking a small glass of wine occasionally to be very relaxing, especially in the evening after a rough day's work. So long as you don't...

    Pepsi-flavored Cheetos

    Doesn't sound particularly appetizing, but if you think about it people always associate Doritos together with Mountain Dew. They might be on to something here!

    What do you think of guys who hit on other people's girls?

    Many people come to clubs to flirt, hitting on girls is commonplace. I think so long as you clearly show that the girl and you are in a relationship, the person should back off right away and apologize for misunderstanding. If he persists then I feel that the two of you should simply walk away...

    Who is your favorite late night talk show host?

    I find most talk show hosts to be very charismatic and funny, they would probably not survive long in the industry if they weren't! If I absolutely had to pick one I would go with Jimmy Fallon.

    America's first bathroom themed eatery

    I think that there might be weirder restaurants out there, but typically resorting to such a gimmick to draw in customers suggests that their food/service may be overpriced or lacking.

View net surveillance online cameras It's a Russian site that basically identifies thousands of security cameras that were set up without changing the default username and password.

    What helps you sleep at night?

    I usually sleep pretty fast after going to bed. I make it a point not to eat any supper, or to do anything that stimulates your mind (like reading, watching TV, playing games), as it makes it harder for your mind to get back into a relaxed state quickly.

    Dumbest Drug Dealer

    Nice to see such a large shipment of cocaine being nabbed and taken off the market. More has to be done to counter drug trafficking, this moron was but a lucky bust. Lots more cocaine is probably being smuggled beneath the noses of law enforcement...

    What are your favorite TV shows?

    I really enjoyed House and How I Met Your Mother. I'm currently watching Game of Thrones, it's been pretty enjoyable with many twists, but honestly I feel that the show is a little overrated. It's definitely not bad by any means, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece either.

    Have you ever shot someone?

    How did it feel? Did you hesitate in pulling the trigger? In that spur of the moment I can't say for certain if I would be willing to shoot a suspect, possibly killing him/her, in order to protect myself or other people...

    Teaching Youth About Gun Safety

    Always teach them to stay away and inform an adult immediately if they see a weapon left unsupervised. Also train them to treat any firearm that they see as armed. The best way is to condition them to be suspicious and wary of firearms, so they will stay clear away from any accidental discharge.

    Your Favorite Exercise

    I enjoy playing badminton and other racket sports, I find that it helps to exercise not only your body, but it also keeps your reflexes and hand-eye coordination sharp. Besides that I find working out at the gym to be a good way to get rid of anger/stress in a healthy manner.

    Are you scared of police officers of your region?

    The police officers in my area aren't corrupt, so I feel like I can trust them, I don't feel any fear or resentment towards them at all.
