That's exactly what I was going to say about him entering a guilty plea and getting life without the possibility of parole. I understand people saying that the death penalty won't bring the three victims back. But this form of punishment is not designed to bring anybody back, its there for...
I have no problem with the death penalty and obviously the criminals who commit murder have no problem with it either. I've never seen the benefit of people spending years in prison, only to get out on parole and have the chance to do it again. As far as the terrorists are concerned, I believe...
A former supervisor once told me that you need two people to witness the incident. This keeps it from being your word against theirs. I sympathize with the lady and I do believe that the majority of these cases have merit. I don't know if they will try settle out of court to keep down the...
Incidents like that is definitely a good reason to weed out all non hackers so to speak. Everyone looks at and judge them based on certain expectations. Falling anything short of that is mostly a failing grade. The job is too important for anything less.
I think people are less likely to forgive Policemen and Women than any other profession or occupation because of their authority and direct interacting with the public. Therefore they are less likely to overlook any skeletons they might have in the closet. Now I definitely wouldn't want someone...
Hello and welcome to the forum. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions on Police matters. I hope you have fun with your discussions and interacting in the community.
Only thing I ask is why some people get shot in the back with no weapon on them or get choked to death without a weapon or resistance. Anytime someone drags a person whether it be a Police or not, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The problem in a lot of cases is there are too...
A real friend would never put you in harms way or suggest you do bodily harm to yourself. This is a sad story indeed, but somewhere through the despair and grief one feels has to be the though of self preservation. Which he apparently had but it didn't appear to be strong enough to sustain him...
I agree with the fact that a lot of irresponsible people have access to guns and cause devastation like this. But how can you legislate what's inside a person. All the screening in the world won't guarantee that people won't snap under certain conditions after they've purchased a gun. People...
This is not your average everyday story. In fact I have never heard of a couple married for that long to die on the same day. Even though it is death, it seemed very special and I mean this in a respectful way.
This probably won't be the last incident for this official. These desires and behavior just don't disappear with him getting arrested. Even though he hadn't committed a physical crime, the intent was definitely there. And unless he seeks professional help I believe he will try again and again.
To say this is the odd couple is an understatement. I personally think the age difference is far too wide for boyfriend and girlfriend. However I would think the last thing this man should want is to be involved in any kind of assault. But since he's drawing this kind of attention to his self...
I know the Police will use every tactic and method that's available. unfortunately sometimes they cross the line. I don't know what the punishment for the Police is compared to the general public. But I would think that much harsher punishment and longer jail time, might deter some of these...
Hello there.Welcome to the forum. It's nice to know that you have multiple family members in law enforcement, and this is a great forum to find out about what Police encounter every day as they face the good and bad of society.
Hello and welcome to the community. I hope you enjoy your stay here. I'm looking forward to your input and interacting in the forums. New opinions and thoughts are always good for discussions.
As a child my friends and I would go into a store and steal bags of potato chips when we had money to pay for them outright. I done it a couple of times and really felt bad about it and never done it again. In fact I never went back to that store again.
I know the Police try to do everything they can do to stay safe and protect themselves but there is a thin line between staying safe and brutality. This is something that's plagued Law Enforcement for years now.
I would probably like to have lunch with either John F Kennedy or Dr Martin Luther King Jr. And here some of the struggles they encountered and the problems they were trying to solve. And also ask them what would they like to accomplish regarding humanity.
There's not too many ways they can deal with stress besides from counseling. Any occupation that puts you in a life and death situation every single day, is equally draining both physically and mentally.
