I hope they managed to get to the show on time! Whilst I must admit that I'm having a little giggle about a bunch of male cops going off to watch Les Mis, they've clearly dislayed that they have a tough side too. To think, they even managed not to kill the guy they were restraining!

The whole point is to go undetected so I can imagine that they use all sorts of vehicles, including the ancient bangers. Gabe is right to say that the length of time it is parked up for is a better indication of what is going on.

No deaths are acceptable at all. To be honest, a gunshot to the leg would have had far less serious consequences than the physical force which was used. I am in no way condoning this by the way but I do wonder if cops actually know what it it that they are meant to be doing. They keep being...

Here's a link to the latest update - where the police admit that they failed to provide timely medical care. I think things are really going to explode in Baltimore now. Police: Freddie Gray didn't get timely medical care after arrest - CNN.com

See, I read the title of this thread and expected one of these...

I don't think you should be allowed to drive if you've just had one drink, never mind that many. Driving whilst under the influence is one of the most selfish and irresponsible things a person can do. People are killed because of drunk drivers every single day and it's out of order to endanger...

She's probably been handling guns since she was a girl so will have decades more experience with one than the majority of cops!

Yes, he turned up at the scene with a case of beer and some fried chicken for Moat! Apparently they knew each other from the nightclubs back in the day!

That was a great example to set to the other cops. We often think of those at the top (of any profession, not just law enforcement) as unwilling to get their hands dirty or as being out of touch with the workforce. He will have put guys half his age to shame that day!

Yes I have. A couple of years ago, there was a controversial search for a man named Raul Moat who had seriously maimed both a policeman and his ex-girlfriend and killed his ex's new man. The entire North East of the country was scoured and there were so many police cars driving around. This went...

I'm almost certain that it's illegal for a prospective employer to ask this question in the UK. This would include the Police Force. Not that it makes a blind bit of difference either way.

For some reason, I always thought that cops hung out with other cops. I'm sure that there are plenty of things that they just can't talk about outside the Department so an understanding ear would probably come in very handy. I've heard of bars being used exclusively by cops before now...

This is really quite upsetting. I'm going to be following this story with interest as I'm just waiting to see what sort of excuse the arresting officers come out with. There can only really be one explanation really, but I bet your bottom dollar that it's not the one we are told.

Spot on! In fact, I actually got called "selfish" the other day. Why? Because I don't ever plan on having children. It's far more selfish to have a child that you can't care for in the way it deserves to be. Having said that, I do feel sorry for the mother. She's got no choice but to work -...

If they have that much of a problem having a black person in charge then maybe they should have left the country back in 2008 when Obama got elected. Public service is no job for anyone with racist tendencies so despite the fact they are clearly despicable bigots, Missouri Town will be richer...

I wonder if the cops thought that his mother wouldn't be bothered? If he was already known to the cops, chances are they'd already formed their own opinion about the mother and assumed she wouldn't give two hoots where he was. If they actually did go to her house, why on earth didn't they leave...

You know that bit on the end of your shoelace, the plastic coated part? It's called an aglet.

After the days of apartheid, you'd think that the residents of South Africa could be a little more tolerant towards each other. I know that the social problems in SA are immense, particularly the gap between the rich and the poor, but blaming migrants is not the answer. Surely, the government...

It's impossible for me to lie about where I come from - my accent gives the game away immediately. People do have pre-concieved ideas about people from my city but I figure that's their problem, not mine!

I agree with other posters in that it's probably the ability to understand and the willingness to listen which attracts women to pastors. Looking half-decent is one thing but throw in these qualities too and you've got an instant hottie. I suspect that they enjoy the individual attention their...
