When my daughter and I caught her father in bed with the 17 year old babysitter, we gathered our stuff together to leave him. He called the police to try to have us stopped. The female officer wanted to ask me some questions, so he put her on speaker phone. She asked a few questions that...

Parents are in a very bad place these days when it comes to discipline. You basically can't spank your kids anymore without a looming threat of the police getting involved. Even fundamentally good kids know that if they scream "abuse" and or call the police or tell a teacher that their...

So John Oliver did the best piece on Civil Forefeiture. If you don't know what it is, that is the practice where police officers confiscate property because it MIGHT be used or have been used in the commission of a crime. All over the US, offficers are recorded and reported to have confiscated...

Oh, I wasn't meaning " talking you you talk to everyone else" if the way you talk to other people is like a ghetto kingpin drug lord. I mean like normal people talking to normal people.

missbishi, I often felt that way, that she was plying her wares LOL. It just would freak me out, seemed like a bad scene waiting to happen, especially since the neighbor on the OTHER side of that building was a ..... you guessed it... an officer and his wife. I mean, they HAD to notice and...

So, I used to live next to this girl.. she had an apartment in the next building.. and her apartment was literally a revolving door of officers. I never asked because I didn't want to know.. but we always jokingly called her the cop groupie. Was she unusual, or does this happen a lot?

Really over a parking space? It's just not worth it to go to jail for a freaking parking space! Makes you wonder what that woman was planning to do that she just HAD to have that space.....

Our police station has begun to have their lobby open to people who are selling items from Craigslist or the online rummage sales from Facebook, and I think it's a good idea. I've used both for many transactions and never had any trouble, but then I always go with someone, let people know...

For some reason, I am humming that Internet hit from a few years ago...."These are the People of Walmart"...... Seriously though, I know one Wal Mart around here that is notorious for drug deals, it's right off a very major highway with easy off and on to said highway. I'm kinda glad that is...

I wonder what kind of dance troupe this was, exactly. There are dancers and there are dancers. If you have ever seen the movie " Showgirls"... oh yeah, I can see the very nasty, catty, treacherous ladies of that group of dancers pulling a stunt like this.

When a citizen is in a position of interacting with a LEO, do you prefer that they speak to you informally, like they would to anyone else, or do you expect a certain amount of respect and subservience, as if they were talking to, say their boss or some other authority figure?

I'd have to say I have a big problem with this, if they are hiring illegals. Now, a legal immigrant has every right to be a police officer, as long as they have attained citizenship, and can pass the same level of stringency in a background check like anyone else would have too.

I wouldn't doubt it. The energy levels in that area were off the charts crazy in those days after the attack. Could have been anything, could have been the spirit of an ancestor of one of the dead looking for her grandson or nephew or what have you, but I don't doubt it was there.

Number one, it's her job to teach her kid about stealing, not the cops. Number 2, this was in NYC. I can easily see how those particularly overstressed and hard-boiled cops would get angry at a woman who had called 911, wasting valuable resources that may have been needed else wheres...

Hello there, I am just saying hi from West Central Ohio, near one of the big lakes. Hence, " Ladyofthelake" . Especially proud to shout out to our LEOs on board!

This looks like a case of "suicide by cop". There is no way that anyone in even half their rational mind could have thought they'd walk away from this behavior alive. I feel terrible for his parents, though.

On what planet is it OK to manufacture something in a high pressure device like a fire extinguisher, especially a substance that is know for its volatility, in a dwelling with a child in it? Granted, even without a child in it. But with your own child? Are you that deluded at your own potency...

The headline made it sound like something out of " Super Troopers" at first glance, and made me chuckle. Reading the story, however, did the opposite. I also agree that there was some negligence here on the part of the officers, because the guy should never have been able to get in the car in...

I wish I had read this on Facebook, with thousands of shares. In fact, I may just make that happen, or try to anyway, for this story. This is the kind of thing we need to be hearing about our police officers, not just all the bad stuff. I would imagine that there really are far more officers...

I would lay money on the odds that the child who did this has been abused, and severely, herself. I also have to wonder if 11 is old enough to be watching a helpless baby. Infants are a lot more work and far more fragile than toddlers or preschoolers. When my own child was 11 I would let her...
