This is a common practice around the world. Police use these scum bags as punching bags, but is it right? Regardless of the heinous nature of the crime the accused has been arrested for?

Well I guess this answers that question. There are some bad apples everywhere you look. Let's not go through life in denial. Not everyone with a white hat on his head is a good guy.

If there are 100 people on death row in January 2015, how many of them do you suppose are innocent? I bet it's less than one percent. To the innocent we can pray for forgiveness, but the other 99 have got to be out of here.

Okay, I think I can summarize it with a simple question. Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? If you can answer this question correctly, you will have the answer to the original question. Is Hollywood love real?

I think you just nailed it. The average police officer probably keeps it near the front of their mind that anyone could be a threat to their safety. It's a form of paranoia that can't be helped. Unfortunately, I think that this is a major contributing element in why police can be so brutal...

It seems as though people are becoming extra vicious these days. What should happen to people who violently assault seniors in the course of robbing them?

Would you feel this way if it involved a friend or family member. I don't know your friends or your family, however I am proud to defend them against such acts of evil by supporting the death penalty as a deterrent. Why are we so willing to stand for the rights of the perpetrators. The...

I believe in life in outer space, and the death penalty on Earth for really horrible human beings. I'm not happy to see a person condemned to death for their actions, but if you can't face the penalty you shouldn't commit the crime. Hang'em high, and let it be a lesson to anyone who wants to...

The key is to always stand for what is right, no matter what. This will remove so much negativity from the world that we wouldn't recognize the place. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

That's a great response. Now that it's clear in your mind you won't have to rehearse it. The person who hesitates is lost.http://youtu.be/m5_lFT52NrU

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done to make the new year a better one for police community relations? Is the responsibility mainly on the community or the police department. Maybe it's hopeless.

Most cops know that 99.9 % of the population breaks some law. From simple misdemeanors to serious white collar crimes. Let's make some resolutions to correct ourselves. No jaywalking in 2015.

To believe in true love you have to have an imagination. Have a pure heart (most people are too jaded). It also helps if you both enjoy good wine.

I agree with you. Frankly I don't see how this ever happens without some breakdown in the process. Either the judge isn't properly instructing the jury. Or, the prosecution and the police have framed the accused. Or, the most likely, the defense attorney sucks. Otherwise, I don't see how the...

This does happen. Impersonating a police officer is a crime in most places. I think a criminal convicted of disguising himself or herself as a cop should receive a double sentence. In other words twice as long as the sentencing guidelines for the same crime committed while dressed in a scum...
