    What objects are carried by you everytime?

    What I always have with me: my wallet, keys, a pen and notebook. I didn't forget phones. My phone is almost always off because I don't want people calling me.

    If All Police Officers Went On Strike

    It's a hypothetical question — not a reasonable one — and should be treated as such. Police aren't allowed to go on strike but they CAN go on strike. You can't force someone to go to work if they don't want to, can you?

    If All Police Officers Went On Strike

    Supposing all police officers went on strike what exactly would happen? Chaos? Would everyone who has ever wanted to commit a crime take advantage of their absence to loot, kill, etc? Would this force communities to form vigilante groups to ensure their neighborhoods are safe? Or would cities...

    Road Rage

    If you are a victim and someone flips you the bird or uses some other inappropriate gestures, and you note down their registration number would police take any action against that driver should you report him? Would you need evidence? A vid on your phone maybe?

    California man arrested for punching toddler in face at Bakersfield market

    The man is an idiot. No sane person should punch toddlers in the face. A few years back another idiot who posted a video on Facebook [kicking a toddler "like a football"] was also arrested and I hope he's serving a really long jail term. Much as it's wrong to wish it, if excessive force was used...

    why do most people like dogs more than cats?

    Cats are creepy. Especially black ones. Heard of the superstition that seeing a black cat in the morning is bad luck? Now if you had one as a pet and you saw it each morning [you just must] it means you'll be a magnet for . . . bad luck? Well while I don't believe such superstitions, I like...

    Have Wondered If . . .

    If someone wants desperately to die and to force the cops to kill him decides to actually shoot or cause some grievous bodily harm to cops or some innocent bystander that person is no better than the savages beheading people in Syria.

    Gender Issues

    Despite the fact that men and and women in the force are supposed to be "equal" in all senses of the word, when duties are assigned does the one in charge [or dispatcher] take into account the gender of the officer?

    Do you ever lie about the town you come from?

    I don't talk about where I'm from. I live in a small town now and while people wonder "where the hell I am from" they never ask me and I'm not one to go divulging information that's not all that useful to the hearer. While people should be proud of their hometowns I think there are times when...

    Have Wondered If . . .

    Some of those people who are shot dead by police actually wanted to be killed by the police officer in the first place? I stumbled into the article linked to below and much as the cop in this case didn't shoot the suspect, it appears like the suspect wanted to commit suicide by cop. | US...
