I firmly believe that if a community takes pride in where they live, they will see more effort from their service members to serve them. If you don't take care of what you have been offered, why should you expect someone to take care of everything for you? We all have a responsibility to make...

A local police officer held the door for me at the gas station the other day when I had my hands full. Before that it was at a armed intruder drill during a safety warden meeting at work.

Ok, so you've seen pictures? Do real police forces have these cars or are they just in magazines and stuff? Heck, we have dummies like Justin Bieber running around, some police forces need super cares for super idiots.

Around here we make the joke, be careful, you might get pulled over for d.w.b?! A DWB?? Yea, Driving while black. It never fails that when you seem someone pulled over, it's almost always a black person. I saw a white lady pulled over the other day and almost drove around the block again to make...

I don't think I've ever profiled a cop. I know I've given a woman an extra kudos in my mind for being an officer in a male dominated field, but that's not because I think she's any less capable, but because I think people probably give her more shit. Good topic thought. I definitely had to...

When I lived in Cincinnati, you had to hand the greeter your receipt and she checked you and highlighter all big purchases and checked items against number of bags. If it looked like you had more than you should you could not leave. You stood in one line at the counter and another at the door...

Around here its almost hopeless to spot an undercover or unmarked. There are so many cars that look like unmarked or are old cars sold at police auctions that I have given up trying to pick them out. Some people leave the big mirrors on them and everything. Then, you get the unmarked cars that...

I do outcomes research for a nonprofit mental health facility for children. So I basically upkeep a lot of databases full of information with survey information from assessments and write reports on it. I am a few months away from completing my masters in mental health counseling but I need a...

It's usually fine to be a little over as long as you are traveling within the flow of traffic. If you are impeding the flow of traffic or going faster than the flow of traffic, that is when your driving becomes potentially dangerous to others. I usually try to stay within the five mile mark...

I called in a tip on an ex who did me very wrong and then left a white lighter on his car to let him know he was going to jail. I've called in an obviously very drunk driver. I've also called in gun shots. Speaking of... I called in an attempted homicide when I saw a young guy get shot when I...

I haven't seen any of this happening in the United States or heard anything like this happening. I do nothing that officers do keep their hands on or near their gun when handling a traffic stop. Traffic stops can get hairy pretty quick. We've had a few strange chase stories in the local news...

I don't care. Once a robber enters my home, he no longer has any regard for my safety or the safety of my family. If he's in my house, I'm going to shoot him. I would rather be sitting in jail than being raped or see my baby girl get hurt. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but hollow points...

Or how about the people's houses they get called out to over and over again for the same issue? Domestic violence and the woman won't leave, or the neighbor is drunk and running naked in his yard again. I'm sure the 3rd shift cops loved when I called them to my job for the suicide threats. They...

One of the school systems I went too did monthly lock downs and police dogs came in and search our lockers and the high school cars while we stayed in our locked classrooms and at that time I lived in a high middle class town. We didn't feel fear or distrust. We laughed and made jokes about it...

My school did. We had a police officer assigned to school detail. If their was a threat we had armed police officers in every hall. We had some race fights going on one year and the police were there for a week (2003). It's really wasn't that big of a deal. I personally felt safer knowing that...

I agree. This all or nothing stance that people are taking is driving me crazy. We are having problems here in Cleveland where a young boy was shot. The young boy was waving a fake gun that looked real in a public place. The community is looking to hang this poor officer out to dry. It's sad...

No, I refuse to have my free speech regulated. I will post happy things when there are happy things to post. Until then, I will firmly yank up my big girl panties and trudge on through the doom and gloom until there is a ray of sunshine for me to cling too. Then, I will ride that monster for as...

I think a small chat box would be a great idea. We are all over the forums so much that it would give us a nice little place to get to know each other. Nice suggestions!

I feel this is very similar to forming militias in time of needs and support it fully as a citizens right. I fully believe that these types of situations were what people had in mind when they put the second amendment in place. I do not think the right to bear arms is to only protect us against...

I've seen a couple people shot when I worked in downtown Cinci on night shift. From what I understand, it feels like fire has entered your body. Being shot in certain areas just hurt a lot more and they type of bullet will make the pain vary. I had accidentally stabbed myself in the hand (story...
