I don't cry when a celebrity dies, but to me he was so much more than that; he was a part of my childhood, I've seen most of his movies and he has always made me laugh. I've got to admit, I've been crying on and off for a little bit now. The world is a little less funny without him. I'll miss...

I'd start putting camera's in and around you home, and in your car so that you have legal proof that nothing is going on. Unfortunately, I know a man that was harassed by an officer and the judge went out and said "I believe the officer more than you simply because he's an officer." So best of...

The worst part I think is the fact that it wasn't even a weapon that John was carrying, but a toy gun that the store sells! I'd have a hard time listening to the police if I was confronted by them in a similar manner. What would happen to the officer(s) that did this?

I can't post links but the story is new and easy to find. In a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio, John Crawford, 22, was fatally shot by police officers when he was carrying a toy gun the store sells. A couple of other customers say him holding the realistic toy gun and notified police who came to...

I consider anyone to be older than myself to be old. Haha, sorry for anyone older than 23!

I also browse Reddit, but also play games on the PC, watch TV/Movies, work on art and commissions, I like to go fishing. Truthfully, rarely am I bored. Hell, I'll even clean if I get THAT bored.

Dogs have been domesticated for a lot longer than cats. This gives cats that aloof and more wild nature. Dogs on the other hand see us as pack leaders in a lot of ways. Dogs have the special ability to look where we point and listen to our commands; which isn't a first in the animal kingdom but...

Definitely hate the morning with a passion. I'm a night owl and have a hard time waking up before 9. The only exception to hating mornings is the one night shift I work a week where I get off work in the morning.

As other's with more understanding on the issue have said, they are under quarantine and are travelling with the utmost care. We have all these diseases in labs throughout the United States already, we just happen to have a person. With proper handling and care this is a none issue.

I can only speak for Canada, so it's probably very different for Americans. Here in Canada, if you see a pet or a child in a locked car unattended on a hot day, even if you are unsure if the child or animal is distressed or not, you are allowed to break into the car and rescue them. Of course...

The only obese officers I've seen where always doing desk work and were older, like forty years old or more. The fit men and women doing jobs out in the field, you may possibly be a little 'overweight' are still physically fit enough to do their job. Around here though, even in a small major...

It's not so much that they are too smart. The idea is that those with higher IQ's and education are more likely to have a higher turn over rate; which isn't bad either, but the amount of money it costs to train a single officer being so high, that's where the problem lies. I guess if you score...

I just looked it up and noted ABC and the New York Times did pieces on a court case that happened in regards to this. To me this is starting to not sound like an urban legend at all but fact. The reason given for Robert Jordan not being given interviews was because people with higher IQ's have...

ABC News had an article stating that potential officers were barred from joining because of higher IQ's. I can't add a link to the article but the title was "Court OKs Barring High IQs for Cops" September 8th, 2000. This happened in New York where a man scored 33 on an intelligence based test...

I am just a civilian but I thought most police cars have dash cams. At least by now? My friend has dash cams for his cars and trucks because you can never be too careful and in case of a fender bender these can prove really useful.

This woman clearly has no clue how to treat a cat with respect and with care. Cats like this have been rehabilitated and have become great house cats but they need cat friendly spaces, cat friendly toys, and a catio (cat patio enclosure to watch birds and the like) to get some pent up energy...

I don't see why anyone would be upset about this? Is the person indecently exposing himself? Is the person keeping the peace? If the answer to the two following questions is no and yes respectfully than I don't see why there is a problem. Personal style choices are just that; when does banning...

I live in an area that has anti-discrimination laws based on gender identity and expression, including ones for sexuality; this covers the LGBTQIA crowd rather nicely and generally in my area most have never had an issue with officers in this regard. In areas without discrimination laws though...

Hey everyone! Just a civilian that wishes to remain such and I hope that this board can welcome a Canuck like myself! (I've noticed that this board seems mostly American in nature which changes a fair few things) I have family members who are police officers, have had friends that have dealt...
