ALways a controversial subject. There are some horrible evil people out there but what if they have a mental issue or some screws loose in their brain ? Then again I do believe there are people that are truly evil and sane and carry out brutal murders or rapes.

I saw a guy go berserk once when he caught a cop writing him a parking ticket. Started cursing and everything. Cop asked the guy to calm down and lower his voice. Guy said someone is going to teach you a lesson because everyone hates you around here. I thought the guy was going to throw a punch...

Once I got a ticket for going through a yellow light. I still don't understand that logic. A yellow light is a warning that you should slow down and that a red light is coming but it does not mean you have to stop. If anything it means slow down but if you are already in the intersection then...

I have a good solid marriage. I think maybe Hollywood glamorizes things a bit but it is not impossible to have a relationship like those you see in the movies.

Hello I am from New York and joined this forum awhile back but then work and other things got in the way and I never actively posted until up about a week ago. I live in the suburbs and have had very few incidents with the police (ie speeding, driving past a yellow light lmao). Anyway glad to be...

Hi I just joined the forum too. Well actually I joined awhile back but never actively posted until the past week.

I live in a pretty quiet neighborhood so none that I know of since I moved here. But I am not 100% sure about it unless I actually go to the local station and ask.

That is very nice. What is a rotoractor ? I usually donate clothes and old stuff around the house to charity during Thanksgiving. I have always wanted to do some work at a homeless shelter. I just have not made a concerted effort. I did it in high school and it was a positive experience.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas Eve. I went to my in laws house and we had a blast till around 1 am. No kids yet so me and my wife just slept late today.

I mean they shouldn't be overweight but they shouldn't have to be body builders either. If a suspect is running they should be able to run and have a chance at grabbing him or her. They can't be running 10 feet and then holding their chest calling for support. Most of the officers in my area are...

Absolutely. As kind as an officer of a different race would be, I would feel more comfortable if his partner or some on the force were the same race as me. It is not even about racism or anything. You just want to see a diversified police force serving a population like NYC.

Neither actually. I usually have a bowl of my favorite cereal with some strips of bacon on the side. And a glass of orange or grape juice.

My cousin's husband is a volunteer police officer. I still am confused as to what that entails though. I really got to ask him about it one day. :) I have 2 firefighters in my family though. Both cousins.

A device like this can be used to save lives. And it can also be used for less savory purposes. A device like this really throws the "you need a warrant" right that people have out the window as they would never even know they are being recorded. But then for it to be used in the US court system...

I really don't know of any other way except the microwave.. as long as it is loaded with butter I could care less how it is made. :)

Well it was Facebook back in the day when it was only available to college students and was not so complicated and full of money making scams. Now I really am turned off from social media in general. I do have a Twitter account though and a Facebook account which I hardly update.

A couple times for speeding and once when I was questioned as a witness to a bar fight between a friend of mine and some drunk guy who basically attacked him. Other than that no other interaction.

One method my mother used to use on me was heating a cloth on a frying pan over a stove and then gently wrapping the cloth over my neck and head and face. She did this about 10-15 times. I did used to feel better after awhile. Not immediately though.

I can understand Spanish if they speak slowly. I can also speak it and get my point across. It is terrible Spanish but I can get my point across. I took it in middle school/high school for 6 years.

I do agree officers need to be evaluated more frequently and taught that if there is no visible threat, then they should not use such brutal methods to subdue a person. This man did not have to die. These officers used excessive force for sure. He was a big black man and whether that was a...
