Can Albert be clutch?

I don't get what is wrong with what mt said. I may be a conservative but I definitely don't want to be a hypocrite. If I am going to point out something I don't like a liberal doing, I'll do my best to call out a conservative that is guilty of the same thing.

Well the government does have common courtesy.

Rip mt.

Would we know if it happened?

Still waiting for Cat to come back from answering the door.

Our government is in need of a major overhaul.

At least none of ue have disappeared for criticizing the government though so there is that.

I'm not sure about those tests, but the academies the majority of them go through isn't a cake walk.

That is what is supposed to weed out the unqualified ones.

You don't just sign up to be a cop and they give you a gun and badge.

I don't really care if a cop fails some algebra crap on a standardized test.

Oh I know and that's why I mentioned the academy weeding others out. Also it is not some algebra crap. We are talking simple addition, subtraction, etc.

And those stupid tests have nothing to do with the subject. It comes down to being a decent human being. A lot of cops aren't, but the majority are.

Poozy I already said there are really good cops and I acknowledged there are a ton of bad ones. Of course it comes down to being a decent human being but the tests aren't stupid. I don't want to over generalize but I don't know if a guy should be given a gun and badge when they struggle with basic math skills. I'm not saying they can't be good cops but I think you can understand why I would be hesitant.

There are some really great cops out there that understand community policing. Not creating a "us against them" type of environment. "

Unfortunately a lot of cops just don't understand or don't care about community policing and go against everything a cop should be.

I'm not saying you should be a rocket scientist to become a cop but because the standards are so low to become one, you are more than likely to get the bottom of the barrel. You guys should google NPOST test questions. These questions are made of basic math, writing, spelling, and grammar. There are three different tests (test A, B, and C) just in case you don't pass the first and second time. The only penalty is you have to wait a certain period of time if you don't pass before you can retake it. Not to unfairly judge some people but when I took it there were people who were taking test B and even some who were taking test C because they hadn't passed the first time. This is the test that will allow you to apply for police departments. Obviously from there it gets tougher and they weed some people out but there are cops out there that have taken the NPOST a couple of times or barely passed it. I wouldn't be surprised if the cops in these stories are some of them.

I know of a painting Jeter would be willing to donate.

Mota madness must be a very unhappy person.

Anyone seen the Riverside County: The Land of Heroes thread? It was last seen yesterday at 9:43 A.M. following a normal flight path before disappearing. A man from Wisconsin may be a subject of interest.

What are you guys talking about? There has never been a heterosexual pedo.... I really think Bakunin is trolling at this point. He went from an extreme leftist to failing off a cliff on the right.

Just because they didn't get it right doesn't mean that it would have been impossible to get it right or that there wasn't/isn't a great need for change in healthcare structure.

Oh I know Rally. Even though it was a sarcastic comment, I made sure to throw in the "as of right now." Having said that, a complete overhaul should not have meant those with existing coverage being affected so badly.

I'm glad we got a healthcare system (as of right now) that is superior to our old one......

Thanks EU for showing us how it's done properly.

Minnesota won't back down and continues to stay one point behind the Kings with their own five game winning streak.

Throw in Jose Mota and call it a day.

Well talk about your day being ruined.

Red Sox fans and people that have no connection with Boston that are Red Sox fans.

"Ukraine is weak!"

Plenty of people on this board have commented on suspected ped use by Ortiz. Maybe you don't remember or weren't here.

Yeah first degree murder didn't fit. If they tried to go for it and got it, it would be screwing up the system that everyone is already saying is screwed up. No need to make a further joke of it.

Nbc is sad there isn't audio to mess with and race bait this time.

How about the producers at NBC who messed with the 911 tape get into the ring with Dmx after he destroys George. They played a huge role in this whole thing when it came to race relations.

Reminds me of the last time the Bronco played a Super Bowl versus an NFC West team.

They'll be lucky to get 10 points tonight.
