    I'm new to shining boots

    I wipe off all the dirt first, then I give the boot a nice large coat of base polish. After waiting around few minutes, I dab a little polish in warm water, and I spread it on the boot in large circles. Keep repeating with smaller amounts of polish until it's completely shiny. I personaaly do...

    How much downtime do officers have on their shift?

    I see that no police officer has answered this, but I am curious as well. I feel like they probably do a lot of work but we don't pay attention, but we tend to see these "lazy" times and we remember them. It's kind of like watching construction workers. Some don't seem to be doing anything...

    Teenager Rapes & Kills 6 year old

    I also recall a certain mental illness called Munchausens Syndrome by proxy, where you're essentially hurting someone else to get attention. Although I've never seen this in person, it has been shown on TV quite a few times, and unfortunately, it's an altogether real thing. This sometimes...

    Man beaten over wrong cup of coffee

    I sometimes fear when I go out for the day, for school or for work. I wonder what will happen to me. It's horrifying to see these kinds of irrational violent acts happen. But you gotta wonder if one day, this sort of stuff might just happen to you. Always stay alert, people.

    Has anyone in your family ever been police officer?

    I have an uncle who works part-time. He's a cool guy and always invites my family up for dinner. There's been a bit of tension lately due to the Hong Kong protests, due to the hours working and the political background. Otherwise he's a nice person and we get along well.

    Favorite Vacation

    I would definitely love to visit the Maldives and other island countries. With the threat of climate change and rising sea levels, there's only a limited time before those islands disappear forever, so if it's something you want to cross off your bucket list, I think it's a good idea to start soon.

    Do you get paranoid writing on forums?

    Yeah, I tend to be wary. I don't ever give out my personal information in public forums though, and it won't really serve you anyway as I am a poor college student with no money. I'm not sure what you would want from me. I try to be civil as well, and if I met you in public I would definitely...

    Dumbest Drug Dealer

    Of all the places to take a nap... Anyways, definitely glad to see justice being served. You can try to deal your drugs and earn your money, but don't drag innocent people into your wrongdoings. They don't deserve to get hurt. Also, if I'm correct, it's death penalty for drug dealing in China...?

    Should police be allowed to get overweight?

    I totally agree. Officers should always be in their most tip-top shape if they want to do their jobs properly. That being said, I understand that stress is definitely a part of the job, and there's often not enough time to eat right or exercise. I'm not too familiar with this, but I hope...

    Protests in NY over chokehold death

    I don't think so. There are definitely a lot of people outraged over this matter, but compared to the ethnic make-up of Ferguson, it's much less likely. There are definitely protests and tensions would definitely arise, but I highly doubt it will rise to the level of Ferguson.

    What do you think is a healthy snack with coffee?

    I can't come up with any healthy choices that go with coffee. Most of them are sweets and are quite fattening. Granola bars seem healthy, but they tend to be overloaded with sugar and fats. If you prefer, fruits would probably be better. Otherwise, just consume less of whatever treat you eat...

    Do you listen to live police scanners?

    I haven't listened to one for my local area before, as I trust that police officers will do their jobs properly no matter if you're listening to the scanner or not. If there is a problem that concerns civilians, I'm pretty sure it will be immediately reported on the news. However, I did listen...

    Have you been inside a police station before

    Yes. I applied for a volunteering position at a youth program, so I had to get a background check done. I was actually worried as I had a few parking tickets and traffic violations under my belt, but I guess they were looking for more serious crimes in my record. It was pretty...

    What is the best way to make popcorn?

    Yeah, like most of the people in this thread, I just eat microwave popcorn. Jiffy pop seems like a lot of work. I've honestly never seen anyone in the last 10 years of my life making jiffy pop. Not to mention how much extra garbage you're making from the tinfoil pan and cover. Microwave...

    Favorite Christmas Movie?

    I liked Polar Express, especially the fact that I got to play its soundtrack for one of my past school band concerts. I also like A Christmas Carol. I like the book much more, but it's hard to keep a small child's attention with a book that has no eye-catching images and what not. They're all...

    Are you scared of police officers of your region?

    I live in Canada, and in my city, the officers are very nice and helpful. I don't frequently go up and talk to them because I'm worried I'll be bothering them in their patrols. The only times I've really talked to them were during traffic infractions, but I find that as long as I'm polite...

    Is winter a hard season for you?

    Not really. We do get snow, but our city is in a relatively temperate climate so it's not bad. Shoveling snow and driving through snow is not as much of a chore as it is in other cities. However, I find that the long nights and cold weather gets me down psychologically for some reason. I...

    Favorite movie quote

    "We came, we saw, we kicked its a**!" - Venkman, Ghostbusters. I found it to be a hilarious take on a classic Caesar quote. Not to mention that it can be used in many situations, like after exams, or a bar crawl.

    Vitamins are garbage

    It all depends on your body and your situation. Some people have the time and money to prepare a varied and healthy meal. In that case, then you pretty much have all the nurtients you need. Most of the vitamins you take that are unnecessary, you just urinate them out without your body using...

    What kind of phone do you have? Do you love it or hate it?

    I currently own a Samsung Galaxy, and it's honestly a pretty good upgrade to all the phones I've owned so far. Sure, it's a bit big, but it's light, and I find it quite user-friendly to use. Not to mention that because as a student, I sometimes have to take pictures of experiments I've done or...
