I can't say for sure, but I believe this is taken into consideration, and the police are rotated every so often, and cycled into new areas. I think that would be a good procedure, if it isn't in place, not only for the reasons stated by @Rainman, but also so that the trust that's been built...

Since this is hypothetical, I'm going to assume the million dollars is after taxes :D. In addition to what I already posted, I would donate some money to Texas Equusearch. I have great respect to Tim Miller and the organization. They do amazing things, and have made a big difference in many...

I agree with Joan. I also think people within the neighborhood who might not otherwise approach the police, might come forward to someone they feel they know, with information about situations that need to be investigated. Also, it can teach the children within that community that the police are...

My neighborhood would probably be o.k., because many carry guns with them in their golf cart travels. I wouldn't doubt they would block off the entrances, and verify IDs before letting anyone in, and that would be acceptable to me. Of course, we'd have to leave for supplies, and deal with the...

Yes, I agree. He showed remarkable restraint, particularly since his children were nearby, and could have potentially been hurt. I hope the attacker gets the help he needs. So many people with mental health issues are running around on the streets, without the support, treatment, and services...

What we need to do is go back to strong family units, discipline, teaching right from wrong, and positive role models. We need to eradicate gangs and drugs, and teach kids that hard work, good values, taking care of your children, and treating others with respect are admirable qualities, and...

It's pretty obvious this child is following the wrong people, and doesn't have enough positive influences in his life. It would have been nice if someone could have stepped in sooner, whether it be a family member, friend, church member, Big Brother or other type of mentor. Unfortunately, by...

I wouldn't consider flipping someone off to be road rage. Many people go around flipping people off all the time, and it seems that act helps them release some tension, as does screaming at people. I can ignore that type of behavior, but when someone becomes aggressive with following too...

It actually happens more than most people are aware of, but you have to search around for the stories, especially if you're in an area that doesn't support gun ownership and/or gun carry laws. I'm in Texas, so I see quite a few of the stories, and share them around the internet. I have no...

Positive can also be a relative term. I just posted a story about a person being assaulted, but I consider it to be positive, since the victim happened to also be a concealed carrier, and was able to protect himself from further harm, and the attacker was stopped before more people were harmed...

I love stories of good triumphing over evil. With so many negative stories about guns in the news constantly, it's good to read about a situation in which a concealed carrier was able to protect himself, and stop an attacker, before others were harmed. It sounds as if the attacker has mental...

I find it interesting that the emphasis seems to be on stirring up controversy, which furthers certain agendas. Why are the press and community activists so focused on potential bad police officers, yet the same attention isn't given to those in other fields? Of course it's bad if a cop violates...

I'm with lushlala, I've never found any pastor appealing. To me, they're in a category that totally negates sex appeal, and I can't imagine being attracted to one. :D

I think many people who have never encountered law enforcement officials in a non-official capacity don't understand that the job is 24/7, and that they are required to respond, whether or not they are technically on the clock. In addition to the reasons stated above, police can be targets, and...

Also, there are weapons don't just take the form of guns. They can be many things, such as shoe, bat, ashtray, vehicle, or just a person's hands, depending upon the size, training, situation, etc. I do think it's easy for people to sit back and state that something is unjustified, but most of...

I have a difficult time understanding this, because I am Catholic, and don't think of pastors in general as having sex lives, let alone getting married and having affairs with members of their flock. I worked at a different type of church in the past, so I obviously know that pastors from other...

I've worked with law enforcement in the past (in a civilian capacity), and many of them work out on a regular basis. Often those who work closely together become particularly close, and tend to socialize as a group since outsiders don't understand the ins and outs of the job, and what exactly...

I would first pay off debts, then buy a modest home and vehicle for myself. I'd help family and friends, but of course a million these days isn't all that much, so I would set a chunk aside for a business that would ensure some future income. Most likely I would partner up with a friend and do...

I wish they would gate off my community. It's not an expensive place to live in relation to some others in the area, but some neighbors and I'd like it gated more for safety and security, as you mentioned. We have a Facebook group, which is very easy to access/post in, etc., then there's this...

The wrong neighbors truly can make your life a living hell. We had an incident here years ago, where a neighbor shot 3 people, one of whom died. it was similar, an ongoing dispute, he said, she said, with drugs and CPS involved, slashing of tires, all leading up to the ultimate shootings. I've...
