Wow! It really does make sense with the physical tests... Learning may be boring to many, but probably is more easy than to push your body to its limits! Also, an exam could technically be passed by all when it's a matter of good or bad answer, but a race really makes it more cutting edge. Good...

Crazy woman. She should know that hitmen are for people in movies and rich enough businessmen who can get away with saying in an ominous tone, "I know a guy who knows a guy..." or "I'll have my me take care of this." I don't know how she expected to just find a hitman. You cannot find a weed...

This is such a ridiculous story! Infidelity does not sound as super big anymore, news reports also have to be about dildos? I get that if these are the facts, this is what is going to get reported. It just seems so random and over the top...! Journalism looks like a joke with headlines like this.

I don't remember any meetings with cop where I offered them anything -- like mentioned before, it really could be misinterpreted. Just give 'em what they ask for -- registrations, ID, anything to check.

I know, I know. If I were to ask this question in an high school or college, everyone would have different answers because everyone is different. I imagine it's the same for Police Academy. And yet, I wonder. What is the hardest thing to learn? Is it the physical stuff, because you have to train...

I like to find my news on the internet. Many times, I'll read articles and they feel less "sensational" than what the news report would push on. I also get a mix of good and bad news when I go on sites like Reddit or Facebook (my friends love to post very detailed articles about current events...

And, are they any kind of realistic in the way they portray cops, crimes and case solving? What do you like the most about it? Mine are Sherlock (okay, he's not a cop, he's a sociopathic consulting detective, whatever!) and White Collar, mostly. I can't really imagine either of them would be...

It is too short. You guys are fooling yourself -- they might get good basic training, but it is really not enough. They have no idea how to deal correctly with homeless people and mental illness, for example. Trying to "train this on the field" is obviously not working and making things worse...

Don't assume that police people will be nicer to you just because you decide to "cooperate". That's not gonna happen. They will hold whatever against you -- and even if you are not guilty, it is possible as it was said before that they would twist your words, find something illogical in your...

After a search, it appears I got it wrong, it was not Stephen Colbert. It was "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Civil Forfeiture (HBO) " and I cannot post the link because I'm too new on the forum, but the video is available on YouTube. Techdirt describes the video like this:

We need goodness in our life. We need peace. We need love. We need to believe that this world can be better. If for you, Jesus is that door, then good. Take it, embrace it, and don't betray it and don't use it as a pretext for advancing your agenda like so many people do. If you are not...

I do not think teachers, male or female, should be allowed to have sex with their students, consenting or not. If they really "love" this person, then they can wait for them to be out of their school (and at least a while longer, I think, otherwise the grades earned would be void), or quit their...

So, on some TV shows, when it comes to the FBI and big cases, they mention they cannot keep anything because it is considered "evidence". However, I saw on the news that cops are actually allowed to keep what they bust. I think there was also a funny video made by Stephen Colbert about the...

Well, I do stream movies and TV shows from shady sites, but now I've got Netflix, so I'm mostly redeemed. I've gone over speed limits on highway (because please) and drunk alcohol in public places like the beach and the park and wherever people made a group to have fun. Luckily, these are not...

I had just been in a "domestic" fight, and got beat up. I was shaken. Some passerby had called the police and had given me water -- I had a bloody lip and bruises but water was all I asked for, I was so thirsty. The cops came, three of them, talked to the passerbys, to me, to the other guy who...

This is something that came to my mind in a debate about abortion. I don't believe anyone should regulate whether a woman can or cannot do what she wants with her body, but I do believe that to have some psychological counseling before and after an abortion could be a great idea. It just makes...

A good physical condition; patience; respect; will/concern to help people; a pretty stable psychological condition and not be too quick to anger and discrimination. A good critical thinking and ability to think quick and empathize. That's really all I, a common citizen, can ask from cops, I...

That's the comment that makes the most sense. I agree! I don't think that "he should be punished for using drugs" is really gonna help him or anyone. He should be punished for selling; he should be punished for any harm he might have caused others. He should not be punished for screwing up his...

Should this be not regulated to have at least a minimum? I think in Germany, it's something like 2 and a half year of police academy, and the instructors say it is not enough and they have to shorten many things in the program! I don't understand how the standard can be so short and so variable.

Stalking opinions would be useful in the case that you wanted to run for any political position and your opponents wanted to bring out your most silly thoughts to the public to discredit you. Not that I think politicians would really bother, but maybe if they ask their people to find something...
