No, but a big reason is that I am very careful not to ever show my face or name my town. It would be hard to identify me without that much information. I don't share too much personal stuff unless from another readers view it is generic enough to be fairly anonymous and not something that...

There is no good reason to have a gun in the bed, it could be on the night stand, under the bed, beside the head of the bed. All those places would be much safer and still easy access if something should happen during the night. I don't think this was an accident.

ADD is not like a disability. If you don't have any trouble functioning now because of it there shouldn't be an issue.

I suspect in some cases that is true on the street. Being a detective is a different kind of police work, and a woman would be equally successful as a man because physical strength would not be an issue. I think you should pursue your goal if you want to be a detective.

Mall cops are not really police officers, they are security guards. They have training to deal with the kind of thing you would be dealing with in a mall, mainly shoplifting. They can arrest shoplifters and probably anyone misbehaving in other ways or escort someone out of the building if they...

I don't think you need to warn someone who is committing a home invasion. In fact, you probably shouldn't because that would give them potential opportunity to harm you first. Pepper spray is non lethal, so I don't think you a person using it against someone who has broken into their home is...

I've seen people zigzag through traffic when they should have known there would be cops out at that time of day. I guess that's not really that stupid, just not a wise thing to do ever, and definitely not on a stretch of road that is heavily patroled.

I have been more or less gluten free for about a year, and trying to keep my sugar intake way, way down. I am planning to cut chocolate this year to eliminate most of the reasons I would have to indulge in added sugar. I know chocolate is not good for me, it might have anti-oxidants, but I have...

He clearly needs to be sent to rehab. That is the kind of things an addict will do. It's stupid, but that's because drug addiction causes someone to be unable to use their brain to full capacity and it's pretty easy to make a stupid decision when there are drugs in you system. I hope they make...

That is insane, totally insane. What kind of evil were these people involved in that they even thought of doing such a horrible thing to a person? I have never heard of anything like that.

I don't have text, but see if you can get the texts you have received printed out. If they are threatening you, you should report it. Even if they have not committed a crime, documentation that you reported this now may be valuable if anything else happens with this person, it will prove that...

I have felt unsafe a number of times. I have been yelled at by kids driving by when I was walking down the sidewalk, even had one car circle around to yell at me multiple times. I generally don't go out at night anywhere I would have to go far from where I lock my bike to the building. Most...

They should get holiday pay, especially since it is so busy on the roads on big travel days. Hopefully they don't have to work full days unless they volunteer for that. I know some would need the money but others would rather be with their family.

It really only takes a few bad apples not being held accountable for their actions to really ruin public opinion and instil fear in people. I know I sensed some of that for much more than 10 years, it seems like it was starting at least when I was a kid, if not much earlier than that. It's...

Do you find that kids who get in trouble often come from broken homes or single parent homes? I have heard many people share their opinions on why kids get in trouble, but I would be interested in hearing from a cop what they have observed about these kids.

Today is the busiest travel day of the year. Do you dread being on patrol? Is the day before Thanksgiving a day you have many stories about?

Do you think people overestimate their driving abilities because of the influence of the alcohol, or do you think they were overconfident in the first place and it just carried over?

Perhaps what is wrong here is the way the laws in that state are written. I don't know that it is possible for us to find accurate information at this point to form an independent opinion on this, but if you take the assumption that the jury was right according to the laws on the books, then I...

I think you are correct in your assessment. The media has definitely brought a lot of publicity to the few bad cops out there and the tragedies that have happened as a result of their actions. I also do feel that there is a serious lack of accountability in many police forces. It is just...

I really like the Santa Clause movies. They are really humorous. Great family night movies to get everyone laughing and relaxed.
