By far the best home remedy for cold season is chicken noddle soup. What you can do to make it even more effective is add a little chopped garlic. Even those CupO'soup things they sell at Seven Eleven can make you feel better. And they're only chicken flavored.
I haven't heard of anything like this happening in the U.S. lately. However years ago there was an incident I read about. It occurred in New York City. There was a police officer convicted of raping immigrant cab drivers. He would pull them over for traffic violations, handcuff them and...
Police work is dangerous work. No there haven't been many line of duty deaths in my town. However, cops are seriously injured all the time. When they are killed seems like the only time anyone realizes the risk they take with their own safety to protect us.
I'm guessing that the week kind of balances out. Same as any job. There will be quiet times and busy times. There no need to drive around looking for trouble. It will always announce itself.
If you were out and about and witnessed a crime in progress would you have the balls to intervene? Let's assume that if you don't act something horrible was about to happen, and the only person who could stop it from happening was you. Could you make the citizen's arrest?:cool: Click on this...
Do you ever find yourself counting down the days to retirement? Or, perhaps daydreaming about that first morning or evening when you won't have to go into work anymore. Is there something you think you'll miss about being a police officer when the time comes?
More likely that if the officer makes his arrest, and his paper work is filed correctly there won't be any complaints about him. Either you can do your job or you can't. You should encourage fitness, but you shouldn't force people to be fit. America is still a free country. And, no I'm not a...
There is a difference between being obese and being a big guy. There are a lot of football players, both college and pro who are huge and overweight. When you meet these men in person they have an imposing presence. The same is true with cops. When you have a domestic disturbance call an a...
I just think it's better to have a preset protocol. First of all it may deter someone with evil intentions, and secondly we can save time and money by going straight to the gallows. There is no closure in such cases. There is only pain, and destroyed lives.
I just read a thread about a lady who was burned to death down in Mississippi. It occurs to me that such cases should result in the death penalty. I have a list of what I feel should be automatic capital crimes once convicted. Here it is:
setting a human on fire with an accelerant resulting...
Monster is right. This could only have been done by an evil monster of a person. And when they are caught the death penalty should be applied. Hopefully you have the death penalty in Mississippi.
Well, it seems like what we have here is a bully who stepped on a land mine. Not that the woman was right, but in her defense she did complain to the school officials and nothing was done. The poor lady was defending here daughter. I blame the school for not doing enough early on.
They were probably looking to raise revenue off the motorist. This is a form of taxation. It happens everywhere. Your only defense is to stop as the yellow light comes on. Of course, then the guy behind you will rear end you, because he expected you to go through the light. I know, the...
It would be a progressive measure for police departments to provide a free gym to its officers. Or, as you suggest pay the gym membership fee. However, I maintain that this should be voluntary. You should not be forced to attend a gym to stay in your job. As long as you are fit enough to...
I saw a woman standing outside a supermarket with a sign that read "Y'all Need Jesus". It lead me to wonder about the wild stories we read in the news. Jesus preached a gospel of love and justice, caring for the weak and powerless. This Christmas I'm thinking the same thing as that lady. We...
You know at some point we have to talk to our kids about sex. I wonder if we should also take the time to talk to our kids about how to interact with the police. Knowing how to conduct yourself can go a long way in police community relations. Often times it's kid who are being abused by...
LOL, strike fear in your heart? I would only feel that way if I were breaking the law. Just be respectful and act normal when you're in contact with police. They are human beings just like us. They have families, friends, fears, hopes, and dreams.
I'm sorry but I don't think it matters. Cops are not car salesmen. They don't have to be friendly. I appreciate that it would be nice, but come on. All I want my police to be is good at fighting crime and protecting property.
Watch some old episodes of Star Trek. I think you'll notice a big difference between tasers and stun guns. The stun guns had adjustable levels and at maximum setting could render anyone unconscious.
