There aren't many details in this story, so it remains to be seen what actually occurred, other than that she apparently shot her husband and he died. It is ironic though, that she runs the police department's Crime Stoppers program. CrimeStoppers Coordinator charged with murder | WREG.com

Drugs are a scourge on society. I hate reading stories like this. The poor baby deserved so much much better than this. Parents are supposed to protect, not endanger their children. Baby dies after swallowing meth | WREG.com

What a nerve they had to give him a (supposedly) fake chain, while being robbed by him. ;)

I agree, it's real, but heavily edited. Obviously riding in a patrol car for 8 hours is probably boring, and they're not going to show that, because viewers would become bored, and change the channel. It seems they follow certain officers who are probably assigned to particular sectors, because...

@musicmonster I agree, some of the ads stand out as scammers. I had something listed online on a local classifieds site recently, and got the scammiest email that totally turned me off. It could be that the guy had the money and would have come through, but I've been scammed enough to shy away...

I used to find myself (and still do, on occasion) responding to the other person's anger by becoming angry myself, which would escalate the situation. What I've learned to do, when cut off in traffic, or yelled at by someone in a rage, is to take a few deep breaths, and tell myself that they...

Departments follow the law with regard to hiring. It's helpful to have officers on hand who speak various languages, and if there are residents speaking those languages, and this is often (but not always) reflected by the background of the person. Hispanics aren't the only ones who speak...

I always see the fiber optic cameras being used in television shows, the ones they slide under doors, into AC vents, etc., so they can see into the room where someone's being held hostage, or where the bad guys are holed up. I think it's important to use devices such as that in dangerous...

I agree, @dyanmarie25. There hasn't been an update on the fire. At this time, they're saying that they believe it was accidental, but that the investigation is still ongoing, which could mean anything. Ironically, some of the guests were firefighters. I don't know why they were staying there...

If they don't like America, and don't like capitalism, they're free (unlike in some countries) to leave. Non-violent protests are one thing, but once a line is crossed, they have only themselves to blame for the repercussions.

My hope is that if these types of skills are taught at school, the children can generalize what they've learned back to the home. I have worked in homes with parents, teaching them parenting and some other skills, and most have been receptive, if only for the duration of the classes. What's...

I think perhaps not if you were going to be a dispatcher, and stationed within the office all the time. However, I think it could hinder you, to not have one. Is there a particular reason (assuming you're asking for yourself) that you don't have a license? If the reason is a fear of driving...

@IrishHeather, that has become very common here in the Houston area, as well. I actually found some ads like that when I was looking for this place. What they do is see a desirable ad, and copy it exactly, then re-post it with their contact information, but lower the price significantly, which...

Yes, I agree with most of what has been posted, particularly @Patrick's advice to contact an attorney, prior to speaking to Human Resources. I had a similar situation at a previous job, and things of this nature are often not taken seriously, especially when the person initiating the negative...

i've worked with many parents and children/adolescents, and the parents often feel they have no recourse, other than to give in to the children, because the kids threaten to call CPS (Child Protective Services), regardless of whether or not they are hit. Those children have no idea of what will...

I've seen so many stories of people harmed or killed due to meeting strangers from Craigslist to buy or sell items. It's scary out there. Some Police Departments have begun allowing transactions in their lobbies, in an attempt to increase safety, but that isn't always possible. Here's the latest...

Don't mess with Grandpa, either! I came across this earlier today. He fought off his assailant with his cane, but that could have been because the thief saw an able-bodied man heading over to intervene. I'm glad this elderly gentleman realizes that he may not be able to prevent an attack with...

There are many stories in the news about fights, bullying, and violence among our youth, and I've been thinking of possible solutions. Do you think teaching conflict resolution and stress management techniques in public schools could decrease these incidents by emphasizing the importance of...

I agree, it certainly is a strange society. It's unfortunate that any weapons are needed. It would be great if we could all get along, take care of one another, and thrive the way we should be able to, with all the resources afforded us on this earth. I would love to live in that society...

I agree with @DancingLady and others who've stated the best thing to do is let it go. Unfortunately, in the heat of the moment, that's sometimes difficult to do. Everyone responds differently when threatened. Some tend to run in the other direction, while others strike back out of instinct. Road...
