Yea, I'm going to call Bull on this. Anytime someone is threatened you should call 911 because theres no telling if the person who did it was being serious or when exactly they might make good on their threat. I'm also going to point out that the police would first fine you for abusing 911 and...

I'm fairly sure that these teachers already that the right to protect themselves in any way against others who pose a grave and immediate threat to them. I would hope they also already have the right to protect others from those who might be trying to harm them. I'm not sure that I agree with...

In the United States if local police can't handle a situation they will call the State Police. Now if the State police cant handle a situation they have 2 more options. They can request that the Governor call for the National Guard in the event that its a riot or some other violent offence...

This is hilarious if true, though it sounds more like a joke story that is sometimes reported on slow news days.

I still don't believe that guns should be in the house with children. While this child seemed responsible enough in not firing the weapon when the intruder left, there are many children who don't understand that appropriate level at which a firearm should be used. The safest course of action is...

I'm sure that the police responding would be sure that they were wearing some form of glove. They are standard issue incase an officer needs protection from blood or other bodily fluids that might transmit disease.

From my understanding of the law, Murder is separated into varying degrees depending on the circumstances of the crime. As each jurisdiction is charged with their own terminology, some have labeled the most serious degree of murder 'Capital Murder' whereas others have labeled it 'First-Degree...

Okay there are a number of things you are assuming that you probably shouldn't. First, its possible the cops were OFF duty. Some jurisdictions allow police to take the patrol car home with them. Even if they were on duty, just because they had a patrol car doesn't mean they were patrol officers...

I think they are doing a fine job. There isn't all that much more that they could be doing. Some people are always going to be bad eggs that slip through the cracks and when its a police officer who is supposed to uphold the law and be without flaw the media are going to jump at the chance to...

We've obviously got to get these kids out to the firing range at an earlier age so they can learn proper gun safety. If the toddler were exposed to guns more often it would eliminate the mystery and awe that surrounds the object and they wouldn't be so interested in playing with it. Obviously...

I saw nothing wrong with that in the video. The lady was obvious resisting and trying to get away from the police. I think its more than appropriate that the police took her to the ground in order to prevent either her escape or danger to someone else. It is a shame that she experienced...

I don't think I work too much. I feel exhausted sometimes but I think that has more to do with the tedium involved in my job rather than being overworked. I try to make time for myself every day so that I don't feel like my life is all work. I read Comics, watch a bit of TV, play video games, or...

I think the more people you have active in help solving a problem like crime the fewer people there are that are going to be out there perpetrating it. If you have an area where people are known to report the crimes they see than you are of course going to have less crime in that area. I don't...

If they have reason to suspect that someone is in danger then they have every right to enter a home without being invited by the residents. However THEY must have probable cause. If they do not hear anything when reporting to a domestic disturbance call than they are not supposed to enter the...

It entirely depends on the circumstances of the trial. If I feel I have a connection to either the defendant or victim than I may follow it. If its simply some famous person who has done something wrong than I don't follow it and rely on others to keep me informed. Usually the higher profile the...

No, RICO is pretty much the only thing that can be used against some of the top guys in organized crime. They are often too smart to be caught on tape or with any evidence that actually points to their involvement in a crime. Their being associated in an organization of crime though is easier to...

They would have no more authority to arrest someone than what the general public has. Some Jurisdictions allow for people to make a citizens arrest until a police can come and take them away. Other jurisdictions see this as a form of kidnapping and the person restraining the guy could be...

1) It depends on what they are doing. Are they checking out the house suspiciously? Are they trying to avoid being seen? If the answer is yes to either of these you should call 911. Theres no telling if someone inside the house might be in danger if that person is trying to break in. 2) Yes, if...

This is nuts. What the hell kind of parent would do this to their child. If you aren't prepared for kids than don't have them. If they are too much for you than give them up. I don't think she intended to murder the children, but thats no excuse. It doesn't sound like the husband knew what...

Of course it is. There really is no question about if Celebrities get off the hook more often than regular people. You see celebrities throwing parties all the time where there are drugs being passed around, but you never hear about celebrities getting charged with possession with intent to...
