This story is horrendous. It's the main reason why I believe a chunk of the population should parent. Yes, everyone what's the white picket fence, a spouse, children and nice home, but everyone isn't mentally sound or financially sound to maintain this type of lifestyle. I hope they put this...

For anyone who feels they hate cops or don't understand how much they serve the public, you should check out the facebook page A Warmer Shade of Blue, A Book about the Good Things Cops Do. Based on this read, there are stories and pictures about exemplary acts committed by police officers. To...

These days, making ends meet isn't always easy. I don't know what police officers make, but I imagine at times they might want to bring in more income. If so, are they allowed to take a second job as long as it doesn't interfere with their work.

So true. I have made the mistake over the past few years of working too much. It's not fun. You have to get out and enjoy being around other people. Hopefully, cops don't fall prey to this type of behavior. Can you imagine spending a day seeing the worst in mankind and then going home to do...

I have been working at this office for about six months. The company is old but most of the employees are new. Even the president hasn't been around for more than six months. I didn't know know this coming in as a new hire. This fact along with a few other things makes me worried. I can see...

The best book I read last year and am reading again this year is The Magic of Thinking Big. This book let me see how my thoughts have been really holding me back. I had too many excuses not to do things such as ageism. The best line in the entire book to me is 'action cures fear'. This is...

I like my hard boiled eggs a lot. For some reason, they make me fuller than scrambled eggs. I guess it's because they are dense. The dumbest thing I ever bought were Eggies. This product promised that 'you'd never have to peel boiled eggs again'. Of course, the time it took to pour your egg...

Dogs are so adorable. They also behave in a friendly manner. These two factors are why I think most people prefer them over cats. However, there are a few cat lovers out there who would through themselves in the streets over their feline. My ex-boyfriend and sister are two such people. Both...

Let's face facts. Dealing with the public is hard. It's hard to please people you encounter at their worst hour. So, I am wondering if police officers have support groups they can go to for emotional help. Currently, I work in a call center for a state insurance plan. Our members call up...

I think people disrespect police officers because of stereotypes about them or a previous unfair encounter. So, they label all police officers as 'bad' based on the actions of a few rotten apples. I strongly believe that in any profession there are stars and demons. It's just a fact of life.

Does human resources in police stations try to hire people for specific beats that used to be their old neighborhood? I ask this because there's nothing like familiarity to help a person understand another one. The downfall of this process would be arresting a friend. The upside would be...

Do police stations own their own repair shops or hire out for vehicle maintenance? I have never seen a police car out of commission. Yet, I do imagine this occurs from time to time. Fancy British Police Car

Oh, I didn't know this. However, it makes sense and explains what I see. My neighborhood is so-so on crime. So, I am sure local officers have quiet days and really busy ones that make them cut their breaks short.

I'll never forget this news story about how a cop shot someone's dog while jogging early morning. He was not on duty, but still had his gun. This made me wonder how many cops carry their guns with them off duty. I am sure it's not everyone, but I imagine the percentage is at least 30%.

I was surprised to read an article on how much Internet porn is looked at on the job. To me, work is the most unsexy place in the world. And, when I surf the net, it's usually shopping sites, CNN and forums. Otherwise, I just talk to a neighbor when I feel more like playing than working. Do...

Yeah, I think tall and well built cops are more intimidating to people. Who would be scared of someone they have to look down at unless he or she was wielding a gun. And, even then, the temptation to dominate this person would be ever present.

Omg. I wish for summer throughout fall, winter and spring. It feels great to go outside without layers of clothes. Also, I enjoy wearing flip flops and flowing skirts. This combo only works in the heat.

Wow. I can't figure out what the police officers could have been thinking from the description of the event. They just really got him all wrong. Hopefully, this incident was an eye opener and the police officers involved got a lot more education on when to identify a criminal act.

I would cure HIV/AIDs. This disease is the new cancer. It ravages through communities killing innocent people. Whenever, I hear stories of children growing up with HIV/AIDs because of a drug addicted parent or sick one, I cringe. They are automatically cursed with a rough start and they have...

My father was in the military. As a result, he believed in order and discipline. I never remember our home being in disarray or a lot of chaos going on between myself and siblings. However, this is in general the military way of life. I had my share of fun growing up. However, I understood...
