    You can kill people and get their remaining years. Would you accept this gift?

    I still think even when people are saying "No, never" they still think somewhere inside "I wonder.." because the question was asked. I know I'd take out scum left and right if I had the power. The cops around here target the wrong people anyways, harassing college kids not doing anything wrong...

    Another officer shot dead by fellow officer

    That's sad. Whenever friendly fire/accidents happen to claim lives, it's always sad no matter the circumstance. He wasn't even in a fight/wartime, and he still gets killed. I feel for their family.

    Hello Everyone!

    Nice to meet you. Hopefully we can have some decent conversations about this wonderful forum and all their subtopics. Don't be afraid to start new topics about the horrible news you know, or shoot the breeze over in the general discussion area. Welcome aboard!

    Paying for equipment?

    Exactly. How can they expect a normal salary cop to afford their expenses if they don't at least have a hand? This is probably just one of many areas the cops should have leniency in - gear. I know this isn't the sole reason, or that they don't get paid nearly what they should to risk their...

    What games do you play on PC?

    Everquest 1 Private Server, Ultima Online Private Shard, Older Games (this laptop is a craptop, can't run decently new games). I used to be into the heavy MMO scene, from EQ1/2/WoW/Guild Wars 1+2(all expansions for 1)/Tera/Rift/Any other MMO you can think of namely korean and korean knockoffs...

    You can kill people and get their remaining years. Would you accept this gift?

    When it comes down to it, unless they've wronged me, deserve the punishment, or are warranted in some other way I simply couldn't hurt the innocents who have family and members who care for them someplace. Even if they have nothing to do with me. I don't think I could. If they were the former...

    Badass of the Week

    The rest of the stories on the site are just as equally motivational too. I just was looking for pick-me-ups and I found it.

    Would you do it?

    I think we can agree to disagree. You don't have to be the arresting officer to get justice and then the family never knows it was you. If you make the arrest in open, it can shatter relationships, families, all because of one act. I don't think this warrant their loved one turning them in...

    Which is a better round, 9mm or 45 ?

    I prefer 9's because of concealing practices. You may need a concealed carry permit, but having two 9's is easier then rolling one 45 and being done with it, plus having a backup gun is always smart. That way you don't hesitate to throw one away in a bad situation to act like you're playing...

    asthma disqualify me

    It also really depends on your local bureau that is hiring as well. Some may let you in with nearly anything if you pass their tests, and some might not even let you test if you have disabilities and tell you multiple different excuses as to why (my friends have told me about some of these when...

    Can we outlast the drought?

    This is very true. The weather has shifted a fair bit since from when I was a kid - some winters are harsher, some summers feel too drought-y and overran with public wildfires. I can only attribute this to overpopulation. And global warming. Though from friends from SoCAL told me about their...

    If you won the lottery

    I would make sure me and mine were financially secure enough to where I could help others (investment, proper use of the money, not going on spending sprees or buying extravagant items). I hate seeing people suffer because of "no money" in this world because I've lived destitute and poor before...

    Shootings In Small College Town

    Thing is, I live right by PrideKidd and I know of these shootings as well. They even happened in our local neighborhood, but they seem to be isolated incidents with some people just going whacko. This town is eerily quiet all the time, no drama usually. There is regular town police and campus...

    Badass of the Week

    I was reading a website called "Badass of the Week" for different inspirational and moving stories and I found one that resonated well with being down to earth. Keep in the mind the writer of the article is a younger person so they use some game knowledge/references that older folks might not...

    Texting while driving.

    That's why you see stories of people getting ran over in negligence. Because of people like who would rather type "hi!" or "Sup" or some other slang and jeopardize life.

    Paying for equipment?

    No you are not, I'm with you. There's so many private military with the money to fund mercenaries but the people who protect us from everyday stuff have to pay for their protection? That just seems wrong on many levels, especially since the government gives money to trailer trash who spend it...

    Would you eat insects?

    Unless I was told to by Bear Grylls, then no. Truly if I had to, then yes. Or if they're prepared like a delicacy in some nations I don't mind it, because obviously it doesn't poison you. And there's always a beverage/way to get the taste out of your mouth.

    Do you get paranoid walking past a cop?

    I know most of the cops around here because of good circumstances so I'd probably stop and just talk to them. In other cities where I don't know anyone, I'd still be friendly and outgoing even if I was paranoid inside. Everyone responds better to a smile and a natural body language then an...

    Canadian Police As Violent As Some American Police Officers?

    Exactly what the post above me said. You can't limit how people act due to region or country. Everyone is going to have some nutbar whackjobs among them, or some typically high strung people. Again, I'd need to read the full article to get the full view of it, but when the cop smashed the...

    Texting while driving.

    I think phones are meant to be used hand-free (with a dash-mount) or not used at all in a car or vehicle. Any (and I mean ANY) abuse of this dangers any lives on the road, not only yours. Not even if the road is empty and you know you can get away with it, you should just wait until you arrive...
