Hi @IrishHeather, welcome to the forum. Most I've seen posting on here are supportive of law enforcement, and I'm sure you'll feel very welcome. I'm sure you've got stories to tell, and I'm looking forward to hearing them.

For me, the answer would definitely be Cancer. I had a huge extended family growing up, because my Mom was the youngest of 12, and my Dad was the oldest of 5. Most of their siblings married, had children, and the family grew and grew. Initially, it was one died from Cancer, then several years...

I worked at JSC (NASA) during 9/11, and shortly after, either the day after, or within a few days, we had a small plane buzzing our building, and had to call the FAA, which jumped right into action and investigated it. Things we might have considered harmless before then can no longer be assumed...

Actually, my comment about the drone was unrelated to the possibility of arson or explosives, which are reasons ATF could be involved. I thought it was odd that the news station was posting video of a drone filming the incident. Perhaps their helicopter crew was using the drone to get a...

A local hotel went up in flames yesterday evening. It was a big mess, with black plumes of smoke and traffic diverted, but thankfully, (and amazingly), no one was hurt. Reports yesterday stated that a smell of gas was reported prior to the fire. Now, the city has stated that ATF (the Federal...

Educational requirements depend upon which agency you're applying with, so if there are one or more you're interested in, check with them before you make a decision. Usually you can find the information on their websites. Federal agencies in the U.S. require a 4 year degree. Some PDs accept high...

Here's another story of a person being held up at gunpoint, who was armed, and fought back. Note: the Castle Doctrine/Law here in Texas covers vehicles, as well as homes. Most likely, there won't be charges issued against the vehicle owner, unless it can be proven that he's lied in his account...

There's also such a thing as a 'no knock' warrant. It is an actual warrant, issued by a judge, based on sworn testimony from police officers, and it allows the police or agents to enter the home without first announcing their presence, by force, if necessary. This is the type of entry often seen...

Here's another great story, it involves police officers rescuing a terrified cat from a concrete divider on a highway, in Middletown Township, in NJ. Middletown Police Rescue Panic Stricken Cat From Highway | THE PUSSINGTON POST:)

Is this the week for awesome Moms to step up and teach their grown kids how to behave, or what? I just saw this, it's related to the story about the jerk who knocked a 2-year-old down while stealing his iPad. Report: Mom turns in son suspected in iPad theft from 2-year-old - Houston Chronicle :D

Re: Article: Missouri town responds to officer exodus after election of black female Yeah, could be, with that many resigning, it's obvious that there was or is a big problem, but what the problem is, only those involved know. I have seen and heard of some bizarre things going on, especially in...

I love this video. I saw it the other night, but just now found it over here. I applaud the mom, and I wish there were many more like her. Hopefully her action spurred on some others to impart some much needed discipline on the delinquents in the crowd. I hope he's over 18, or CPS will no doubt...

Here's another heartwarming story of someone reaching out to another in her time of need. This story and the tip relate to: ReesSpecht Life foundation, a pay-it-forward movement started by teacher Ray Specht after the tragic death of his 22-month-old son. It's good to see something positive come...

Yes, it should be attempted murder. I'm sure she wasn't trying to get his gun so she could take it to the range for target practice, and her lack of accuracy shouldn't get her a pass. I don't believe the charge should be lessened because she was intoxicated. No one forced her to get drunk, nor...

Re: Article: Missouri town responds to officer exodus after election of black female I'd have to hear more and read about the history of the town before jumping to the conclusion that this was a result of racism or sexism. Small towns can be funny, and often one or two families hold the power...

I had a client before who had an Airsoft gun with the orange tip. He wanted to look cool, so he spray painted the tip black, and carried it throughout the neighborhood. His mother and grandmother were unaware that he'd painted it and was carrying it around. He came to the home breathless one...

Aha, got it, thanks! I guess I didn't have my mouse near it, and didn't see it was clickable.

@bala, is that the record of the guy they're crying about? If so, it doesn't surprise me at all. There seems to be a dearth of common sense these days. The reporter in the story I posted actually thought the self-described Crips gang members were protecting him. How stupid can he be? Anyone...

Here's another story I thought was sweet. This group of police officers and firefighters was able to rescue 8 ducklings from a drain, initially using a recorded duck call ring tone, and then lots of hands on effort, as well. Ducklings rescued from storm drain by West Valley City Police | KSL.com...

Here's a story from Baltimore, relating to the current riots. Honestly, who in their right mind, watching the news coverage, would not want the ability to protect him/herself? I have no doubt there are people watching the riot coverage, who are running out and stocking up on guns and ammunition...
