    Police and citizens

    Cops who lose their focus and get caught up in power tend to get a lot of complaints against them. That's one reason why small town cops tend to be nicer and more a part of the community. The fewer people there are, the more likely it seems complaints get taken seriously and issues addressed...

    Injuries and becoming a police officer

    It probably would not unless you have difficulty moving quickly because of it. I don't know what you mean exactly by "bad neck". That could mean anything from chronic tight muscles to alignment issues to damaged disks. If you have tight muscles that can be dealt with by getting massage and using...

    Are the Police finally listening?

    This last year there have been so many highly publicized incidents of police brutality. So many people have gotten to the point where they are so fed up with cops getting away with this that they are protesting. Protests have become riots and looting and all sorts of the things have gone along...

    Do you develop Anxiety?

    I have not been in law enforcement, but I was in a highly stressful work situation for quite some time and I did develop some issues. I did not have anxiety attacks or anxiety issues outside of work, but my body got into a pattern where as soon as I pulled into the parking lot the symptoms...

    Proposed Federal Laws For NYPD Training

    Now you have to define what being racist or sexist is. Some people will interpret something that way that was not meant that way at all. I think you need to focus on how to express and act in a respectful manner toward a person, of any race, gender, style, ect. for just being a person. If...

    Getting fed up?

    I imagine they deal with the same kind of things. People tend to respond to things like traffic tickets in fairly predictable ways, which are probably rather annoying to officers, especially in big cities where they are probably pretty busy. I imagine it takes effort to not just get irritated...

    How do you handle online bullying?

    Not all cyber bullying is actually a crime, so first you have to figure out whether the things said or posted are actually against the law, or just people being mean and rude. If you know a crime has been committed you can report it, otherwise the best thing to do is just close your account and...

    Freddie Gray Death Ruled Homicide

    It is about time the cops were actually held accountable for this despicable treatment of a human being. I do not assume that all cops are like this by any means, but there has been a long standing trend in this country that when those cops who are racist and violent brutally mistreat or kill...

    What To Do In A Road Rage Situation

    Don't respond with anger, that's probably the most important thing. I would just get out of their way and mind my own business, never make any gestures or indications that it was bothering me. If someone has such an anger issue that they are taking it out that way, I would just let them blow...

    A coworker put his hands around my neck today at work

    You need to tell your supervisor, and HR if your company has that. If your supervisor/manager does not take any steps to deal with this and protect you, definitely call the police. You have the right to a safe work environment. Check your states labor laws on this subject to get specifics...

    What do you do if you find something illegal online?

    I would call the local police non-emergency line and explain what I had stumbled upon and ask them what I should do. That way, especially if it was something like child pornography, they could be immediately alerted, someone could look at my computer and possibly be able to gain some...

    Cop Accused Of Sexually Assaulting 2 Yr Old

    A no limits perv? He's actually proud of this? I hope he gets a very long sentence with no possibility of parole. The chances of someone like that doing it again given the opportunity are very high.

    Black Student Left Bloody After Arrest

    That's ridiculous. While excessive force is wrong, so is assuming everyone not of your race is racist against you. People of minority races really need to stop assuming the worst about white people. I think in all this talk about white cops being racist, we have forgotten that minority people...

    Wisconsin police officer kills suspect on first day back after previous shooting

    10 days is not even close to a long enough break after a shooting incident. He should not have been back on the job so quickly. At this point, whether or not he is indited, I think he should leave the force and make a career change entirely. We really need more police departments to get their...

    A Feel-Good Story

    That is really sweet, but I do agree that different kinds of help are needed here as well. The larger problem of he families income needs to be addressed, but hopefully now that her story is out there, she or other member so the family might have a better chance of getting a job. It's really...

    Police cooperation in other countries

    Good to hear that Turkey is cooperating with other countries in cases of people traveling through to join IS. I just hope they start tightening up their border for those already in Turkey who might be trying to get into Syria. As I understand, Turkey has been the primary route for...

    Watched a parking lot accident and wondered...

    Pretty sure backing into someone is your fault unless there is some obvious reason why you couldn't have prevented that. My mom backed into a car that was parked on top of a gigantic yellow NO PARKING paint because it is a blind spot for the parking spaces on the other side. The insurance not...

    can she legally change her name

    I would think you would have to wait until 18, but I am not sure. At 18 you are an adult, so you definitely can at that point.

    Holder: Ferguson Police Shooting 'repugnant'

    Curbing racial violence is going to take more than a program. You can't change people's minds just by setting up programs to try to talk them into thinking differently. People have to decide for themselves to let go of racial issues in their own mind and see all people as people. The...

    Serial Killer From Your Own Area

    I don't know of any serial killers from my area, but several years ago we had a really creepy murder on a pretty heavily trafficked bike path in town. No one actually saw it or anything that was helpful to the investigation. It has never been solved and the conclusion of most people at this...
