Yeah, this, along with donuts, seems to be a frequent question here. I doubt that there are official quotas which must be met but you can bet your bottom dollar that there are certain expectations of cops and some of these will involve targets.

Chris Rock is one funny guy! My favourite stand-ups include Jimmy Carr and John Bishop, both UK-based comedians. My all time great was the late Rik Mayall though - he was side-splittingly funny and his recent death was such a sad loss to the world of comedy.

Well, I'm a Liverpool supporter so I'd probably say Man City, purely to rlle the Man Utd fans! I'd certainly like to see Arsenal win the title though, I'm quite a fan of Wenger.

No, I'd never date a friend's ex. Beisdes being plain weird, I just wouldn't disrespect a friend like that. PLus, I'd keep thinking aboutmy friend and them doing...you know.

Nope, can't stand mathematics. It took me three attempts to pass my GCSE (post-16 UK examination) in the subject and I've avoided it ever since. Luckily, smartphones mean that I've always got a calculator handy so never have to rely on working things out in my head.

Sofia Devila, the "Black Widow" of Facebook has this week been arrested on charges of drugging men she picked up on Facebook and luring them back to hotel rooms then robbing them. She's been charged with 15 counts of robery against these men and currently awaits trial alongside her two...

It certainly looks like the man wanted a particular child, not just any child in general. This makes me think that the man's intentions towards the child weren't perverse. I wonder, and I know this is sheer speculation on my part, but I wonder if he was the child's father? The real father. Of...

I've taken part in two strikes at my previous workplace. We were protesting about pay cuts and changes to our working hours. Eventually, we got what we wanted but we couldn't have done it without the trade union. Worker's unions get a bad press but I feel they are vital in the continued fight...

You just couldn't trust the judge to do the right thing in court after this could you? Yes, this sorry excuse for a man is clearly a pedo enabler at the very least, if not a perv himself. Hopefully, the campaigners will succeed in their efforts.

I can't really afford to eat out right now so always cook at home. Luckily, I'm not too bad and always try and recreate restaurant favourites. I'm currently obsessed with making onion rings as a friend recently gave me a brand new fryer.

Diet sodas. Although they are sugar free, the substitutes they use are just as bad, if not worse. I'd rather drink the "full-fat" versions of sodas than put all that chemical sweetener rubbish in my body.

20 years is the minimun she will serve. If the parole board don't think that she is sufficiently rehabilitated then it may be the case that she does spend the rest of her life in prison.

Two people have been arrested after a gruesome discovery by police. It seems that a teenager, who was pregnant by her stepfather, was abandoned by her parents, along with her 3 year old step-sister, while they took a road trip. If that's not bad enough, the little girl died in the teens custody...

What a story. Maybe he was scared his wife was going to die first and leave him all alone, so he thought he'd kill her and himself, to ensure they went together. Alternatively, he could have just snapped.

The cop claimed he shot the guy as he thought his life was in danger. For crying out loud, the man was running away from him and was empty-handed! How on earth he thought he could get away with it is completely beyond me. At least he's actually been charged with murder although if anything...

I've often wondered why people are so incredulous at the idea that there are other lifeforms on other planets. Us Earth-dwellers are only a mere spot on the universe and there is guaranteed to be so much life out there that we simply don't know about. @Peninha I think that things are being...

Dzhokhar Tsarnev was today found guilty of all charges relating to his part in the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. The next part of the trial will determine what his sentence will be. The prosecution will be requesting the death sentence, despite the majority of Bostonians claiming that they...

I expect this decision has been triggered by the amount of school shootings which actually occur. From a distance, I suppose a squirt gun could be mistaken for a real firearm and cause unnecessary panic. Hell, it could even cause a fatality if the cops got the wrong idea. So whilst i do think...

Whilst it's true that the media tend to over-sensationalize everything, there does appear to be a lot more incidences of alleged police brutality these days. I think it partly stems from a culture of fear amongst officers. I think that the fear of getting killed themselves is causing them to be...

Two parrots are sat on a perch. The first one says "Can you smell fish?".
