    When is a shooting justified?

    We've all seen the videos showing situations an officer can regret but when is shooting someone justified? What does it take in a video to prove the officer is not at fault? It seems really easy to prove them at fault. I want to know the counter to that argument.

    Do You Ask Drivers if They Have a Concealed Carry Permit

    I've had an officer ask me & I've told them the truth: Yes. Yes, I do. It's not an issue for me because I'm not a criminal so I have nothing to be concerned about. However, it could be worse.

    Walter Scott Shooting VIDEO. Michael Slager Police Officer Charged With MURDER

    It makes sense. I mean, can you imagine what would have happened (or more accurately NOT happened) without this video? That's the saddest part about this situation: the record behind this officer & the lack of punishment that he had to deal with on the force.

    Another officer shot dead by fellow officer

    It's the risk of working such a dangerous job, sadly. Even a police officer that if off duty lives with a higher potential of dying by the gun. I feel all the sympathy in the world for his friends & family.

    On Call 24-7?

    It's pretty rare that an officer who just got off shift will be called into an emergency situation unless the area we're referring to is understaffed. That's a dangerous move generally speaking, to have an officer over worked. It really affects their ability to police correctly.

    How do You Feel About the South Carolina Case?

    I think what's more damning than the man running & being shot in the back (because even that has been explained away before) is the fact that the officer appears to have dropped the taster next to the victim after confirming the man was dead. That's damning evidence.

    Is there a Quota?

    I think we've discussed this question a few times before. There's no police statement saying the officers have a 'quota' on tickets because that would be a tad unfair to the citizens being policed. But there are quotas at certain departments that are enforced with rewards or punishments.

    Is Police Brutality Really on the Rise?

    Police brutality has been around since the dawn of policing. It's being covered more often because we are all living breathing camcorders now. Everything is being recorded. What gets good ratings? Videos. It's always been this way. Now anyone can make a buck or two from taking video with their...

    Californians fined heavily for long showers

    They're not tackling the real issues: almonds & vineyards. It sounds crazy but it's true. Look it up. Do you know how much water it takes to grow almonds? It's crazy. I love almonds & almond milk but come on! I can do without almonds for water. Wine...maybe not...;)

    OC judge cuts 15 years off sex offender sentence.

    Is the judge also a pedophile? That's the only way I can make sense of this. I'm curious if this was at the request of the convict? If not this is even more insane.

    What Suspicion Do you Need to Search a Vehicle?

    The Fourth Amendment doesn't protect all people always from searches & seizures, clearly. It protects the public against unreasonable searches and seizures. Who is it that determines if the search is reasonable? The Judge based on sworn statements of the officer or agent. If the officer or...

    Do You Live in Fear?

    Well, fear is a healthy thing to feel in certain situations so I hope so. Otherwise I'd be concerned with the mental state of the officer. I would think you have to be weary of every situation as an officer. Even people with the best attitude could be acting a certain way because something is wrong.

    What games do you play on PC?

    Diablo. A lot of Diablo. Almost solely Diablo. I'm not really even sure why. I used to live with a roommate who played it all the time & when he moved he left it. That seems to be the biggest reason why. Now I have them all.

    Homophobic police officers suspended

    I'm quite curious why they wouldn't release the text messages. That makes no sense. You want to claim a department is an open & honest one but are not willing to release texts you are claiming are homophobic & racist? Something is missing here. Maybe the texts incriminate the entire department.

    Badass of the Week

    I like that they didn't pull any punches with the name. It's always a good idea to define a 'badass' with only the best of behaviours. Too many people use it to define the exact opposite types of behaviour.

    Sacramento attempts world record egg hunt/parents ruin it

    I don't know what it is. Maybe living vicariously through their children & somehow being incapable of losing? No idea but parents can be (_|_)'s. For the love of God just leave them to their own devices. It's not the lottery.

    How much does someone have to go over the speed limit for you to pull them over?

    That's my go to when dealing with police. Speaking to them like normal people & trying to cheer them up. Normally it works really well for me. I just don't think I was on my A game with that situation. We were put in the back of the police car. lol He was having a bad day.

    How much does someone have to go over the speed limit for you to pull them over?

    It depends on the police officer & if they're concerned about 'other things'. I've been in one or two 'suspicious' cars in my day & they pulled us over going allegedly one mile over the speed limit. I thought he was joking so I made a joke. That time making a joke was really not the right move...

    Teen Who Tried To Jump From One Building To Another "Movie Style" Dies

    The worst part is he felt like he needed to run because of something so ridiculously stupid as marijuana. That's the worst part of this story. Of course a high teenager would think he could jump from building to another. That's not really the surprise. Why had the cop found it necessary to chase...
