I can't recall the last time I used force, but I would for sure use force to defend myself or other people, including my wife. It's an instinctive response I think though.
Sure, it's always good to make friends as long as we don't forget our primary goal. That's one thing life taught me, be civil, don't be rude because it's always good that people like us.
Yes, I agree with that. Friends is ok, but we cannot forget the ultimate goal of being there, so we need to take the most of it, we can make friends and be with our friends elsewhere.
I usually try not to think on anything and just concentrate on the exercise, this way I get better results. If my mind goes away I don't work out as well.
Police officers risk their lives on a daily basis, so they will always be underpaid, but even so better wages would show the recognition that society has for them, it's more than deserved.
Great question, it's been a while, except if I consider a friend that I have that is a police officer. Either cases, I live right by the police station, so I greet that often, but it's pretty much good day or good evening.
I think we should use force to prevent other person from being assaulted of course, physical integrity comes first and we should defend innocent people.
Re: What are offenses or crimes an officer "can" commit before he's removed from duty
The fact is that for an officer to be removed from duty he has to do something serious and a proper process needs to be instructed, it's not something done lightly.
I think you are right Gabe, it depends on the context, but yeah, if you are interfering with an investigation or if you sign something that it's not true it's a crime for sure.
It's very hard to determine is a people was rehabilitated or not, but prison ultimately should have their goal, so I think a person can be locked away for good, but this totally depends on their actions.
When the word secret is associated with police forces I really have a hard time giving my opinion as I like clear things and what's hidden usually is not good.
When citizens unite usually good things happen. The police can't cover it all, so community policing is indeed a good thing. I wish my neighborhood had something like this.
