No I'm sure not. I think if we paid them more, they might be able to handle the stress of the job a little more easily. I'm not saying we should throw money at every bad situation (I think we do that too much already), but these people earn their paycheck, and then some! It's got to be difficult...

Okay guys, with all the negative stuff about our boys in blue, this one is bound to bring a tear to the eye: Elderly cancer patient calls 911 because he is hungry and has no food, operator comes to his home and makes him sandwiches

Hmmm...I checked the link and it's working for me. Sorry you are having trouble with it lushlala.

Maybe Mr. Happy (LOL) was being a WiseA**, and Mr. Gaylord just couldn't take it anymore! I hate it when I have to chop up my imaginary friends. It always makes me feel guilty too! On another note, maybe the cops should dig up Gaylord's backyard. Ya never know! :rolleyes:

This is some horrifying stuff! I think a lot has to do with the temperament of the child. I had one that was so convinced of right vs. wrong at a very young age, she would never have willingly gone off with a stranger, and one who was so bubbly and trusting, I had to keep a leash on her wrist...

I'll thank you to be more careful with your blanket remarks about the south, deep or otherwise. Why do you assume a southerner or a Texan has anything to do with this?

The D.A. may have diffused this situation somewhat, since he is black (as if that should be a deciding factor), but look at this quote from the guy's mother: "They could have done a lot. What they didn't do was give my son any respect," she said following the announcement. No charges against...

Yes the liberal press has always been after George Zimmerman. I don't care about him one way or another, but the drama DOES seem to be manufactured mostly by the media. I do agree that he might as well have a target on his back. People tend to forget that Zimmerman was not even charged with a...

I think our police officers would be hard pressed to babysit lonely and/or deranged people. There are families and agencies for that. I think if the perp is simple-minded, a warning should do. If they are just "entitled," a hefty fine is definitely in order. We can't afford for this stuff to be...

Exactly! I don't think Americans can ever have "too much freedom," but with great freedom comes great responsibility. This isn't about freedom of expression. This is about lawlessness.

LOL I don't think they can jail a man for being shot at in his car. Zimmerman does seem to be a lightning rod for trouble though.

Probably "3 hots and a cot." :D For some people, it beats working.

I want to know how an 11 week old baby can crawl through a house and ingest meth??? My babies weren't crawling at 11 weeks. Anyway this scum needs to be put away for life, so they can't produce anymore poor little victims. They don't even have youth as an excuse! I think there is more to this story.

I agree with you. I try to treat all people the same. In our town, we don't see too many legal immigrants, so it's hard not to become embittered by the situation. They wear T-shirts that say, "You can't deport all of us!" It's a frustrating dilemma for the police and the citizens.

Why would a corrections officer ever be alone with a dangerous "animal?" Prison guard sexually assaulted in Arizona

I live in a medium sized town, and the crime rate has increased dramatically in the last few years. The problem we have is the massive influx of illegals. Honestly, every third person is of Hispanic descent. Most of them barely speak English, if at all. The crimes that have risen the most are...

I don't care what color they are either. I agree that if punishment is warranted, it should be administered. I just found it odd that the inmate's race was mentioned exclusively. This is just another example of race-baiting by the media.

:mad: And here we go again! Good thing these cops didn't have a chance to defend themselves! There would have been rioting, looting and protesting!! This is a travesty! I sure hope they catch these guys! 2 police officers shot dead in Mississippi - CNN.com

There is no mention of the race of the officers involved, but it makes one wonder. Surely they're not ALL white! Nine Georgia deputies fired over black inmate's death

I guess he had no choice but to turn to a life of crime! This guy couldn't learn the fine art of flipping burgers! ;)
