It's unclear what the motive for the murder was. But whether the man had reasons good or bad for wanting his mother dead, the little child [his brother] shouldn't have been thrust into a dumpster and left there . . . to die. If the murderer had planned to turn himself in all along why the hell...

Not the smartest of robbers but he certainly made arresting him for his crime rather easy. He must have thought he'd been ripped off. Get a fake gold chain after waving a gun in people's faces and probably threatening them? Not "easy work" is it? Well whatever his reasons were, the man returned...

A 10 year old boy who'd been acting up in school and no longer listened to whatever his mother, forced her to call LEO's to help her. The mother thought that the boy's attitude and disregard for authority would probably get him in trouble in future or possibly, get him killed. For that reason...

I think that the store owner, with a gun pointed to his head, felt he had no choice but to shoot the robber but four shots? If the first shot had debilitated the man, why shoot not twice but three more times? Self defense it was - but it was far too extreme. Not that I pity criminals, I just...

Laws on cyber-bullying vary from State to State. There's action [regardless of where you live] which can be considered a criminal offense. For example, threats about physical harm are taken seriously by cops and the bully would have to be arrested. How do you tell someone has crossed the...

I suppose the cops view the civilians as those who need their protection. At least that's how it's meant to be. "Serve and protect," isn't that their job? Most cops however forget the "serve" part and focus more on protecting. I wish though they'd all learn to balance it up. People wouldn't...

Should you stumble into something illegal online the police should be notified. Depending on the seriousness of whatever it is you found, the cops may work with other cops elsewhere [in the state, country, continent or world] to find the criminals. It [catching the criminals] may not be easy...

It depends on the neighborhood. I've lived in places where there was some kind of neighborhood watch groups. I noticed that not too many crimes were committed in there. I think that for preventing burglaries and the like, neighborhood watch groups can be great. I believe some cops believe such...

We can't entirely blame the parents for their kids actions. Teenagers are rebellious and are more likely to do as their friends do rather so they can hang out with the "cool kids." But the culture of violence amongst young people is an issue which must be addressed. Last year there were reports...

It usually takes only a few people in a crowd to stir up trouble. Most people are like sheep. Once some does something, odds that others will join that person in doing something they know isn't right are quite high. The fact that they are part of the crowd makes them think themselves invulnerable.

If you were a nurse and the person you were treating punched in the face, what would your reaction be? A man who'd been brought into a hospital with a head injury sustained in a fight, while being attended to by nurses declared that he wanted to use the restroom. The nurses told thought it...

The 6 officers who had been suspended will now be charged with second degree assault and involuntary manslaughter. This should be good news to the family of Freddie Gray but as trials go, this doesn't mean that they'll be found guilty of the crime. The news didn't please the Police union though...

Maybe movies actually do influence people to do things they hadn't planned on doing. There's this story about a bank robber who after he'd been released from jail watched a movie about a robbery and he went straight back to robbing, was caught and thrust back into the slammer. As for the...

I haven't heard of the drug yet but I had a look around and learned that it makes those who've used it hallucinate. That would explain why some people would imagine that they were being chased. Apparently it also has this effect on those who use it: It's time the police and DEA agents swung...

Mentally ill or not, this person ought to be locked up somewhere forever. I'm a firm believer in the eye for an eye thing. Two things. Either a really long prison sentence for anyone who kills another or execution. Murderers deserve no pity.

I'm afraid we'll never know what exactly happened to Gray. There are lots of stories out there. Cops did this. Freddie Gray did that. But the autopsy report suggests that the injury could not have been self-inflicted. But . . . that too, is speculation. The cause of the spine injury will remain...

Not exactly what you'd expect but . . . A group of girls who wanted to beat up a girl they had an ongoing dispute with, thought they'd found the right person when they saw her younger sister. The group charged over and the girls parents as any parent would, stepped in to help. They thought...

I suppose the police officers didn't expect that the Crips and and Bloods would ever work together and seeing them join the protests [together] made the cops question their intentions. Not all cops are RACIST. And in any case, even if a cop was racist and hasn't done anything wrong, why should...

I think the law will work. It makes police work easier. If there's no way officers can tell whether a gun is fake or not, whether the person who has it poses a threat to others or not and that sort of thing then it's better not have that gun, fake or not, with you in public. Everyone avoids...

I stumbled into this cute news story earlier on. Whilst talking about the kindness of strangers, I think this beautiful story fits here quite well. It was the birthday of an autistic boy. No one turned up for his party. The mother, hurt, posted something on FB "my heart is breaking for...
