    So, if you won the lottery would you continue to work?

    I think winning the lottery would give me the financial security I need to do the work I've always desired to do but can't at the moment because one needs to spend a lot of money to reach many people. And that's what I want, try to get people be "better people" . . . so they can change the...

    Teens Kills Mother, Stabs Grandmother

    A teen, 19, who endured years of abuse at the hands of his mother snapped eventually. When neighbors heard yells, they immediately called the police but apparently it was too late. | NBC 10 Philadelphia Neighbors who knew about the abuse suggested that the teen should get help instead of...

    No-Go Zones?

    There were some allegations online that in Paris, there were some parts of Paris where the cops did not dare set foot in. Doing some research to find if such no-go zones exist in other cities in the world I learned that in the UK and U.S they also have a few of these no-go areas. I wonder...

    Drug Addicts vs The Law

    Possession of controlled substances is a crime. I'm sure punishment [for the crime] varies from place to place. A number of those who are arrested are not drug traffickers. They've bought the drug because they intend to use it. Since drug addicts can, with the right help, beat their addictions...

    Really? Really?

    Why would she allow the baby's mother to move in with her? While she [the aunt] can't be charged with a crime, I'm sure the guilt that she's directly responsible for the baby's death will rob her of peace for as long as she lives. As for the mother, mentally ill or not, she should be jailed.

    Getting fed up?

    Cops are but human. They might be fed up by certain behaviors and I'm sure when you hear stories about a "suspect" being beaten up a cop, then maybe it's because they've done the same thing so often that the cops feel justified to vent out their frustration. Sure it's wrong but maybe if I was...

    What is your earliest memory?

    My earliest memory is being taken to school by my mother and since my parents were in denial at that time [they'd always wanted to have a girl]. Though my name wasn't Elizabeth/Lizzy they used to call me that at times because that's what they intended to call their [female] kid. So when a...

    Colorado woman who cut baby out of mother will not face murder charges

    It's unfortunate that the woman will get away with murder. Since she committed an offense [violently causing the death of a fetus] I hope that she gets locked for 32 years as the law demands. "After rejecting a fetal homicide law in 2013, Colorado legislators did pass a measure that makes...

    DEA agents had ‘sex parties’ with prostitutes hired by drug cartels

    Some people have accurately pointed out that there's no war on drugs. As long as those who are supposed to arrest drug traffickers, profit from the drug trade, do you suppose they'll do anything to stop drug trafficking and arrest those involved? Obviously the small fish from time to time could...

    How can I keep the peace? Why would I need to move?

    Without an attorney it would be very hard to get any court injunctions that will force your neighbors to be more considerate. After reading your post I think that the judge would rather side with your neighbors probably because of their "station." That means no matter what you do, you won't...

    Relationships?

    Supposing a cop doesn't talk about their job where they are off-duty? How would the person they ask out for a date know s/he is a cop? Wouldn't he or she get someone get to love him/her eventually and decide to stick by him/her "for better or [for] worse" when the time comes?

    Shootings In Small College Town

    Joan's suggestion is good. If the neighborhood you live in is that dangerous then instead of trying to prepare for the worst, the better option would be to movie to a safer place. If for some reason you can't move then get yourself a gun, go to a shooting range. You'll as you practice...

    police slang

    Standby - used [by dispatchers I suppose] to tell cops to wait for more information, delay action, etc. Blue flamer - a disparaging term for a rookie officer who thinks he's the superhero cop who'll save everyone. Beat - territory a police officer patrols. 3 hots and a cot -prison.

    Cops Arrested for Beating 3-Month-Old Into Vegetative State

    A NYPD police officer who abused his 3 month old child has been arrested. The child's mother also a police officer though she didn't take part in the beatings was also arrested [for unlawful neglect of a child] because she knew about the abuse but never intervened. According to police...

    Humor

    I think trying to use humor would land you in "hotter water" so to say. Most police officers I've met detest levity of any sort when they're on duty. I've heard of people getting away with some absurd excuses but I guess those police officers were probably in a good mood. "I'm sorry officer...

    Why use deadly force?

    I believe that most cops would rather not shoot someone dead because there's always that guilt which comes later to torment them. I think though that when someone appears to be a threat to others then the better option is to "neutralize" him before he grievously injures or kills someone. In such...

    Just or unjust?

    The legal system and the laws themselves are created to protect the wealthy. Since one group of people can flagrantly violate the law and get away without punishment I don't believe that justice exists anymore. The importance of the penal system, judicial institutions, etc can't be...

    Detroit woman arrested after children found in freezer

    I think the reason why the murders weren't discovered early is because neither of the two dead kids were enrolled in Detroit schools? Had they been in Detroit schools maybe the school would have tried to find out why the kids suddenly stopped going to school. Not that it would have made a...

    Teen Shoots Brother, Wounds Old Sibling Then Kills Himself

    An argument about food ended badly when one of those arguing picked up a gun. The 13 yr old boy shot his 6 yr old brother dead. He then shot his older brother, then shot himself dead. Fox News Police are yet to identify who the owner of the gun is but does it even matter? It won't bring...

    Stress?

    Firefighters sit at the top of the ladder. Cops come second I believe. Police work in inner cities where violent crimes are committed almost daily can be very hard and each day police officers know they are risking their lives each time they are patrolling the streets or [when they] get a call...
