Thanks so much for the welcome!! and yes Shimus I've definitely seen you before as well. :-) My granddad also spent some time in the navy, but I don't think I have any pictures to share sadly. I'd love to see any you do have though!

I think having friends in any kind of schooling can be really distracting. As long as you have the self control to ignore them, it should be fine, but it's still a risk. Hopefully you would be making some friends there as well.

I gotta agree with some community service on that one. I've had plenty of friends get in trouble for shoplifting before and it's not that big a deal as long as you tell them why it's wrong...it's becoming more and more accepted that teenagers do it these days, though. It sucks.

That's legitimately bizarre. Officers like that are so ridiculous sometimes--grow a thicker skin and don't accuse somebody of a crime just because they're annoying you. That's very unprofessional and scary that they think it's okay to act like that. I'm sure the charge wouldn't have stuck if you...

I don't really get how anybody finds this funny. Somebody having to resort to prostitution is not a funny thing at all. I hope she either finds somewhere where she can join another job or that eventually she can find somewhere where it's legal and she can do it in a more safe manner. I hate it...

Being in a mugshot is never really a good way to make a first impression so it makes you look at least a little bit guilty. It's not like they're the nicest or most complimenting pictures in the entire world, they usually don't make you look very nice.

Only one, in 1935 he was shot and killed. I live in a very small town so it's not surprising that there is only one but I was hoping for 0. I remember when I was younger my father told me about his father's friend who was an officer along with him and there was a beautiful funeral parade and...

I do all of my work online for the most part and occasionally do artist commissions for people who want concept art, whether it's landscape or characters. I also sell premade character designs from time to time but from what I've found making money online is a lot more profitable than being an...

Only the stories about bad police officers make it into the big national news for everyone to see, especially the people who believe it all without questioning it even a little bit. Stories of good officers rarely garner national attention or even regional attention, and that certainly hurts the...

It does really amazing things for the economy, at least. And god knows we need something to help the economy. The car accidents do terrify me, though. The roads are dangerous enough as is without another thing clouding people's minds.

I have literally always wondered this but for some reason never looked it up. I think that they'd probably just dispose it but I'm glad to know the stuff about the evidence locker as well. I had no idea that it went through such a process.

I agree with Patrick overall--it would be pretty hard to enforce. I think that there would be a grace period in place at least, if it was enforced, making sure they had the opportunity to lose the weight first before losing their jobs. I do also think that police officers having free gym access...

I'm watching Criminal Minds as we speak. I love thinking I know what's going on and coming to conclusions before the characters do, even if I know they all know. I especially am a fan of Dexter and Law and Order SVU as far as fictional series go, and I watch whatever generic Cops show is on if...

Thanks so much for the welcome! I would love to share some of his experiences, he was a brave man in his days as a cop and while he doesn't do quite as much moving around now he's a still a good man who helps other and spreading his legacy is the least I could do.

Hi, my name is Owl. My grandfather was a cop and so I have a lot of admiration for police work, but as many of you definitely know there has been a lot of negative attention to police that cause people to question the authority/duty of an officer and I thought I'd make a forum account here...
