The guy is obviously not playing with a full deck. What type of guy takes a knife to a gun fight ? This is while he is in a wheelchair. The guy shouldn't be charged, but commited. He is obviously insane.

A police officer is supposed to serve the people, and people put their trust in them. A police officer caught breaking that should be dismissed from the force, and the face a punishment three times was a regular person would face. So if a normal sentence was 5 years, the police officer should...

If a person can not control his weight, how can he be trusted to control other things. Overweight cops are disgusting and a disgrace to the uniform. Stop porking up or ship out I say.

Be polite and as ally79 said pretend you did not hear the question. Anything you say to the police can be held against you. If the police detain you for too long, ask them am I free to leave now. The police will either have to arrest you or lot you go. In the event you are arrested don't answer...

Why are police allowed to be unionized and why are they allowed to dictate the law ? Police are supposed to implement the law not dictate it. This is why there is a growing anti police sentiment.

Many of the jobs which Americans used to do have been replaced by immigrants. These immigrants when they get into supervisory positions will only hire more immigrants. The mother was probably collecting welfare since she can't get a job. Sitting at home all day isn't going to help matters and...

The nanny state no longer allows young people constructive ways to chanel theor energies. Prisons allow convicts more freedoms then the most school children. Back when I went to school there where things like boy scouts and other fine youth organizations. Probably in the modern boy scouts kids...

A knife can be just as dangerous as a gun. Any cop will tell you this. The economic down turn and too many adults being forced to live with their parents is probably contributing to this problem. It is really hard for a younger male to get a good paying job where he can be self sufficient...

Police brutality shouldn't happen, but with the amount of abuse cops have to take it is amazing it doesn't happen more often. People who attempt to provoke others should be forced to take lessons in how to be polite. Or maybe people are just more stressed now days.

This is a debate which has gone on for a long time. Which is a better round ? The 9mm round has the advantage that it is smaller, so there is a greater magazine capacity. Also since the round is smaller, there is less recoil, which means it is easier to bring the gun back on target. The...

One time I saw some suspicious looking kids sneaking around a house accross the street from mine. So I called the police, and the police apprehended them trying to break into the house. It is always a good idea to keep and eye out for suspious looking characters and call the police. It is always...

The poor economy might be causing more of these things to happen. Until the economy picks up, maybe having more police around malls might be a good idea. Also people should be on the lookout for suspicious type characters and report then as soon as possible. Very tragic.

The newsmedia constantly portrays police using excessive amounts of force. But I wonder if the media is showing the exception as opposed to the rule. The media never shows when the police use restraint. Do you think police brutality is actually getting worse ?

Maybe the woman was too scared to take the child to the hospital. If the man was beating the child, who knows what he was doing to the poor woman. Domestic disputes are always really messy and a lot of the time the abused person refuses to file charges.

I have never been pulled over by the police. But I don't think it would be a good idea to offer him things it might be taken the wrong way. I have heard of women flirting with cops to get out of tickets and things. But the harsh reality is women can get away with a lot more then men.
