    Bonus pay for physical fitness?

    I've always maintained a resounding 'yes' to that question. As well as concerning firefighters. I also like the idea of a doctor being paid more if their patients meet certain health requirements. As well as a patient being charged less if they meet those requirements. It's better for the...

    Another teenaged killer!

    I'm glad you mentioned 'another'. This seems to be a trend in the news as of late. Are teens really having such a difficult time in their lives that murder seems like an option? That's depressing in so many ways.

    Best. Mother. Ever.

    My favourite aspect was that she did it in front of all his stupid ransacking friends too. You can see them trying to move away from her because I bet if she noticed some more faces she knew she'd start smacking those as well.

    What country would you visit?

    I've never been to Australia & it's always been one of those places I'd like to go before I die. Not the tourist attractions or most populated areas but where the murderous creatures are. Why, you ask? I have no idea.

    Character alignment

    I thought this would help for those unaware of the parameters: The Alignment Test I'm 'neutral good' by the way. Yea, I'm as surprised as you are.

    Rock On, Mom!!

    No, I don't think I would have had a heavy heart at all. I would be immensely disappointed in my son. Overwhelmingly disappointed but I would not regret turning him in at all. He has to realize there are consequences to illegal actions. If I didn't turn him in & he could pretend it never...

    A coworker put his hands around my neck today at work

    Senior management or not the company will say they were not given the opportunity to address the situation if it's not reported to HR. I'm not implying HR will be fair or balanced in the handling but this is something you can cite when you lawyer up.

    Baltimore Gangs Team Up To Take Out Police Officers

    I'm having a hard time believing it was a group of gangs that came together to take down the police. A very hard time believing this. Most of the images & video I've seen speaks to a lot of teenagers looting, breaking, & burning things. Are the police trying to imply these are teenage gangs...

    Best. Mother. Ever.

    So, mother sees people rioting on television & realizes one of these children is her son. This is what is the result of finding said son throwing rocks upon her arrival to the area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRlmCf1Kj2o Can you imagine if more parents were doing this in Baltimore?

    Dispatchers Deserve More Credit Than They Get?

    I think they deserve far more credit, yes. I want to venture one more thing: Forgiveness. It's not an easy job & most of the time it's a thankless one. Everyone has had a bad day before & said some crazy things they regret but THEY weren't being recorded. I've always given them credit & cut them...

    Broken Neck Caused by Take-down Technique

    This is something I talk about all the time. Let me begin by: I know the argument. I know if an officer is willing to use his gun that means his life is in danger & that's why he shoots where he shoots. Come on now, though? You know full well as I do there are situations where shooting someone...

    California Law Regarding Realistic Looking Replica Guns

    I understand. I get it. There are fake guns that look like real guns & no one wants a trigger happy police officer to shoot children. Isn't there something missing there? How about we approach the trigger happy police officer? I feel like the bigger issue is being ignored because the smaller one...

    Google App

    There was a time when people argued over whether it was a good idea for citizens to be able to own & use scanners. I don't hear much about that argument anymore. It's not the app or the device or the technology that's at fault it's the crazy people that abuse these things. There will always be...

    What a reunion!

    I'm pretty sure this officer knew that it was a great thing he did back '89 but to get the gift of seeing how one person's actions helped create the person standing in front of you thanking you today? That's a tear jerker. Sometimes it's not a thankless job.

    Woman Arrested For Trying To Kill a Police Officer

    She's going to have a difficult time arguing the reason why she decided it was a good idea to wrestle for a gun with a police officer. What was your intention had you retrieved the gun from the police officer? That's where I assume they're getting this 'attempted murder' charge. It also matters...

    Do you develop Anxiety?

    PTSD is really common in a lot of high stress dangerous jobs. It also goes untreated & undiagnosed. That is unless the person is self-medicating something they don't acknowledge they have. Anxiety is an emotion a lot of people get a chance to deal with & I'm not sure it speaks specifically to...

    Anonymous tip lines

    Well, they personally know who you are when they receive the telephone call. I suppose that's in order to maintain the safety of the caller if something were to occur & protect themselves from prank calls. However, they don't use your information when filing the report or when the...

    A coworker put his hands around my neck today at work

    You need to contact Human Resources. In order to protect yourself & your job. If you're looking to take this further I would suggest contacting an attorney & checking with your place of employment for video of the situation. Was this coworker threatening you with bodily harm when their hands...

    Swedish Police Stop Vicious Assault On New York Subway

    Now I'm curious if they ended up going to see the musical. Also which musical? Maybe the Book of Mormon? As you can see the rest of that story was in no way surprising to me. Another day on the subway.
