Yes, this is the first thing that I thought, too... one of those YouTube setups. I mean who would sit there and let it continue if it were real? You turn the camera off and put the cat out of the room. You don't keep it recording while acting annoyed and rolling your eyes. Sheesh. This cat...

This is the way I see it, too. "World peace" with people hugging and dancing on rainbows in lala land just isn't going to happen. World peace... or even city peace isn't going to happen just because people chant for it. When I was a kid, it seemed possible. When I was a teenager, I wrote...

I have been hearing the story of Jenise Wright on the news for a few days now. I know that at least fifteen law enforcement agencies and many officers are searching for her and the search is expanding today. If anyone on the forum here is in the area and helping with the search, I hope she's...

I'd have to think that the answer to this is that officers who do their job well feel about the few bad situations the same way that good doctors think about the bad doctors who give someone the wrong medication that turns deadly or cuts the wrong artery in surgery. Or the way military families...

How were you able to tell that the officer didn't have his weapon pulled? He was not visible, and I heard him saying to get back in the car "NOW!" but no way to tell if he had his gun pulled or not. Actually as I envisioned what was going on "behind the dash cam" so to speak, I assumed he...

This was disturbing because it reminds me of what you officers have to face daily as a possibility. Thank you for that, and for choosing the career you chose. Was this video changed or something on YouTube? The suspect drives away on the video I'm seeing. The officer was shot, but... ...

There's that rock again... I truly don't know if you're suggesting seriously that Americans shouldn't be allowed their 2nd amendment rights, or if you're.. I don't know. In case you *are* serious, do you honestly think murderers will turn in their guns just because they're told to? "Okay...

Not making fun of per se, no... just... well, I just needed to read it a few times to see if it was a serious statement. Wulfman explained that it is indeed what he meant, and that people should only be able to protect themselves with a rock, so I didn't know what else to say except that I...

I'm glad that you did the right thing for Jenny by reporting what you saw and heard. I thought when you started the story that you were going to say that something happened to Jenny... so I'm glad it didn't (as far as you know.) Yes, someone in that situation has the power to save themselves...

Any thoughts on how you would determine whether or not a child was "close to dying?" You can't tell things like that from outside when the baby is inside. Good thought about taking pictures... I'd be sure to include one of the license plate as well. Bottom line is that I wasn't asking whether...

Follow-up to my post here... not sure if I should call it comical or not, but I just heard that a lady in... New Jersey, I think it was, returned to her car to find that EMTs had smashed her car windows to get to the unattended baby in the car seat. Only it was a doll that her granddaughter had...

I was in a situation something like this about two years ago. It was at a small local grocery store and not domestic abuse against a partner, but child abuse. If it had been physical, I may have done something different, but it was verbal... degrading and saying words that no child should...

Well... the quick answer is that there probably isn't going to be anything that can totally take this anxiety away from you. (And I've heard from my best friend who's an M.D. that a small amount of anxiety keeps us alert... unlike wanting to hide it all with medication.) Okay, so I know that...

A rock? A *rock?!* I just can't see myself stopping a mugger with ... a rock. I'd be killed before I'd lift that sucker up to bop 'im over the head if he had a knife or gun on me. "Now you just put that knife down, young man, before I have to bop you over the head with my trusty rock."...

I just heard this today. It's hard to comprehend but yes, a 12 year old has been accused of killing a homeless man in Jacksonville, Florida. Seems that kids who have gotten into trouble before have been hanging out during the night at that particular area. :( Any thoughts on what is likely...

It's been alarming reading one news report after another concerning babies and children dying from being left in hot cars. I suspect some are deliberate with thoughts of "getting away with it"... but my question is about the "proper" (if there is one) response to *seeing* an unattended child in...

Parts of this list truly surprise me! Well, the first three are not actually surprising, but their order is. I was thinking Philadelphia would be higher on the list. Am I wrong, or didn't that used to be 1st or maybe 2nd on the list? Not sure why, but Phoenix... now that surprises me...

I don't like change. In fact, I hate it with a fiery passion! Soooo, I've been a Phillies girl since I was a kid, and a Phillies girl I shall forever remain!

.... I've tried twice to answer a post here (re: baseball teams) and although I'm choosing "reply to topic" and my typing is going into the "quick reply" box, when I go to submit my reply, I was told both times that I'm not yet allowed to post links. But there wasn't a link involved. Am I...

Yes... and I'm so glad this question came up. I am so sick to death of hearing the "gun control" whiners everywhere I go. It's like people who have that mindset have no concept about what our 2nd amendment rights are. And telling them that if we let someone mess with the 2nd amendment, guess...
