    Police Taser Musician For ‘Playing Tambourine Too Loudly’

    This entirely. I would not hurt someone just because their views are different, and it definitely did not warrant the punishment it got. Perhaps crowd control police should just be allowed tranquilizer guns. Neutralize a situation easier with less hassle. One small prick and you're down for the...

    How should Veteran Cops be punished for abusing the law?

    I consider it worse as well. They need to set examples, they've been doing the job for the longer period of time from their co-workers, and if they foul up horribly it should be public and it should be shameful. They were role-models who swore to a code and honored to protect and serve. If...

    Are police shows like "Cops" authentic?

    I believe them to be fake, scripted ahead of time, or in total violation of the peoples rights they are going after. That being said, some of the people they grab NEED to be arrested, they're asking for it. Rather if this is a part of the show or not I'm not entirely certain. I know they'll bend...

    Police Taser Musician For ‘Playing Tambourine Too Loudly’

    Totally agree. Calling cops over noise ordinances in a Church does seem relatively picky. But on the other hand if you've ever been to a Church or Church in general you know all those "Fake Nice" people showing up to put their face out there. They may have been one and this just tipped balance...

    What time of the day is your favorite?

    I love the night time. People go inside, the towns and stuff die, it becomes eerily quiet. I love the quiet. I like walking and hiking through the dark too, it's enjoyable and cooling for the skin. Early morning before sun comes up or last night after dusk makes no difference to me. I am and...

    Do You Trust Your Local Law Enforcement?

    Trust and Toleration are two different concepts and issues entirely though. I can Tolerate them very well; they put their lives on the line nightly never knowing what they're going to get into for the day. You have to respect that, after a bit. I just don't trust them because I've seen some of...

    Greetings from a programmer!

    So we meet again, Ken. Nice to see you around other places too; hopefully we'll have some nice in-depth conversations as we rationalize out the absurdities of the world.

    Police Taser Musician For ‘Playing Tambourine Too Loudly’

    I just feel we readily use violence and our tasers/guns too frequently here in the USA. We get to using them so much, so quickly that we forget about talking people down. About handcuffing, Miranda rights.. the whole nine yards. It's like they immediately skip to seeing red and want to...

    Do You Trust Your Local Law Enforcement?

    I'm not a fan. They seem ridiculous half the time; saying they can't assist you because it's a civil matter and then enforcing the law on a different instance of the same situation. They also must be entirely too bored, I see them hanging out next to each other talking all the time. Town is...

    What do you think is a healthy snack with coffee?

    Never heard of proteins in coffee, but better on ya if you like it. It just seems eh to me. A good snack to each with coffee is a low-calorie but high filling desert food, like a good sponge cake or some type of breading to absorb all the coffee you're drinking so the caffeine doesn't tear a...

    Police Taser Musician For ‘Playing Tambourine Too Loudly’

    Why am I not shocked the majority of these stories involve southern/mid-western cops? I'm not saying it's due to region at all; anyone can be an idiot. But they seem to be in spades down south. You'd pepper spray or mace her first if she was uncompliant. Taser should be used last, in place of a gun.

    Woman Converting Another To Jesus By Beating Her, Arrested

    It just goes to show you the individual is what is called into question here, and this individual was bonkers from the get go. If she'd resort to violent conversions.

    Personal Cameras on each unit?

    I just think it would solve all the necessary bull that they have to deal with in the case of "He said, She said." it's easy to just pull up solid evidence of wrongdoing.

    Danish Police Kill Man After Two Deadly Attacks

    Unfortunately due to certain texts giving a wide range of interpretations (holy texts) people consider anyone not of their own faith unpure and wrong. That is why I hate religion, but embrace spirituality. Organized or not, it can lead bad quickly. Plus, this doesn't help in terms of mentality...

    Woman Converting Another To Jesus By Beating Her, Arrested

    Indeed. And everyone pictures him as a white caucasian male. He was middle-eastern if the bible is to be believed as well. Mentally Unhinged Zealots, at that. Beating people into something was an effective tool in the middle ages, but not anymore. We're more enlightened. This is sad and...

    How long could you live without the Internet?

    I could live forever (until I died that is) if necessary. I just derive way too much pleasure from all my friends online as well as gaming and my job is online too. So, I'd be crippled for a bit if it went out but I'd be able to adapt and live like the Walking Dead if that's what it took, or any...

    Cops with Medical Marijuana Cards?

    It is true. You don't hear of stoned drivers smashing into a family of five. Or a smoker who kills someone out of emotion. Generally they're all chill. Alcohol turns into monsters; and some monsters lose themselves easily to substance abuse. The Cops in question might abuse this though unless...

    Have you ever been in a physical fight?

    Friends were telling me about a time a group just came up and jumped him for no reason. Not even to mug him, just to pick a fight. There are these types of people you can't reason or reckon with unless you have fist back to say to them.
