      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      Are you referring to police officers arresting someone for say possession of an illegal drug? Is an officer being unjust when he/she arrests someone for such a crime? Or are you referring to the violent crime/criminalization argument?

      taking kids

      As complex as metabolism may be, I find it hard to believe that an 8 year old child can weigh roughly 200 pounds due to anything other than over eating. An extra 20 pounds, maybe. Not an extra 120. Your body does not just magically create fat cells.

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      I was simply referring to the fact that they are different on the molecular level and have completely different physiological effects. Thus, they are different. There is no lack of scientific publication regarding this. Heroin is highly addictive, more so than alcohol according to the Diagnostic...

      Newt Gingrich: Drug test everybody, Singapore-style

      Exactly. I do not see this ever happening, however. It appears our society will continue to support those who choose to not support themselves and instead rely on the government. Now, if an individual were to decide to use narcotics and was forced to deal with any resulting consequences without...

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      I was just pointing out that there is in fact violence which is directly associated with drug use, and not all of this violence is simply a result of the criminalization of certain drugs. Alcohol is a completely different animal than a drug like heroin or meth. The argument for decriminalizing...

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      Of course, if criminals were actually kept in jail where they belong then this problem wouldn't be nearly as large as it is. When an individual can break into house after house and continue to be released back into society only to be arrested for the same crime and released again it does no good...

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      I agree. Anyone who commits a violent crime should be punished. However, I have a hard time imagining that decriminalizing drugs like heroin, meth, or cocaine will eliminate violence associated with those drugs and suddenly make our society a better place. Regardless of the legality of those...

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      Never said you should care. Actually, I don't care if you care or not. I also never said any drug forces anyone to do anything. Choices can, however, be influenced by a number of factors. People generally choose to rob and murder others for a reason. You can label that reason however you like...

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      Who would then enforce our laws? Do the police create laws which infringe on our rights? I am not convinced that our society could function as it does without individuals dedicated to the enforcement of our laws. Also, what would one do when someone breaks into his/her house and steals all of...

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      So, Dodge Chargers are paid for by seized assets? What do you suppose should be done with law enforcement agencies, since they are a "scam"? Should we not have law enforcement agencies?

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      Yea, but my point was that violent crime which is related to illegal drugs is not necessarily always a result of the criminalization of those drugs. Whether a drug (heroin for example) is illegal or legal, has nothing to do with the fact that there are countless individuals who are completely...

      Police Priorities: War on Drugs, or Violent Crime?

      Is the "war on drugs" referenced here only referring to marijuana? I believe the article only mentions marijuana, but what about heroin, cocaine, meth, etc? What about those who commit violent crimes such as armed robbery to fuel their addiction to heroin? Like a guy who has no income but needs...

      Steps to becoming a LEO

      You don't necessarily need to know anyone. I am not sure about the particular department you are referring to, but you should be able to contact them in some fashion to set it up. You need to have a relatively clean background, as they will most likely check you out.

      Steps to becoming a LEO

      As the others have already said, definitely go on a ride along. Try different shifts and different locations to get a more realistic experience. Wait until you see what the job is really like before you make any major decisions. Once you see officers getting spit on, cussed out, punched...etc on...

      Idiot of the day

      For anyone that can read the article, does it give any explanation as to why he was not killed/shot by the officer?

      Tons of violence in broadripple causes an "occupy" with guns response.

      This is a very general, incorrect statement. I know multiple IMPD officers who have/do work in Broad Ripple and the area surrounding Broad Ripple and they are in no way anti gun. In fact, I know at least two of the officers who regularly work the Indy 1500 have/do work in Broad Ripple and...

      Can cops speed without their lights/siren on?

      Yes. Someone already referenced it, but here is the IC. Also, responding to an emergency call does not require lights/siren. It also does not require a uniform be worn, or being "marked out" on the particular run they are responding to. IC 9-21-1-8 Emergency vehicles Sec. 8. (a) This...

      Does this mean you can now take a gun to the range without a permit?

      I would make sure that this part is not overlooked. I could see how someone in a hurry could make the mistake of not ensuring the handgun is not "readily accessible" and end up in a bad position.

      The world would be a better place without guns.

      Adding to that, the world would be a better place if everyone was "educated" on a number of things. Common sense would be a great place to start.
