Seems like I am seeing more out of shape officers out there. Usually not state, but local. I know there are many tallented and buff cops out there, but there are also some really round ones.
Why is this ok? If they are desk cops I would have less of a problem, but these are beat cops - the ones that have to run down the bad guys and fit behind the wheel.
Physical ability is critial and I feel we should have no problems letting these folks off the force 'til they are in shape again. I feel less safe seeing round cops and I would think that fellow officers would demand this of their peirs. Should the unions not demand this for the sake of the other officers they represent? Should we as a public accept this?
Perhaps we can drop yearly pay by $1000 for each lb. they are over their ideal weight and let them make the decision themselves?
Anyone suggets a soln' that prioritizes the function of the police and does not simply protect the job of someone who is no longer fit to work

How can that be if he's as stupid as the liberals are constantly accusing him of being? Something doesn't compute. If he were that stupid and incompetant the Democrats should have been able to make something stick by now, and yet they fail at every turn. It can't be Rove anymore. Rove's gone. The democrats have their best minds working 'round the clock, trying to bring him down - Pelosi, Clinton, Shumer, Reid, Boxer, Kennedy, MoveOn.Org, Media Matters, plus 90% of the media, and yet he's still there, winning every skirmish. It makes no sense. They should have been able to send him back to Texas long ago, along with Cheney. Nancy should have been the President months ago.

I was parked on a cobbled section beside an entrance. I took photos that clearly show the curb behind my car so I was not on the footpath. I was not blocking the entrance. I was about 6ft from the road beside a wall. I have taken photos including one of another car which i about the same distance away from the road blocking an entrance and he did not recieve a ticket.
Have a got a case to appeal?

I hated them since the RIAA Started suing preteens and teens. I turned against the Law Enforcement and do anything to verbally hate any police that arrests file sharers, and file downloaders.
I hate the fact Police Have to OBEY The Law made by stinken congressman and congressKKK. They pass stupid laws and then make the police arrest people that don't like our laws.
That's a dictatorship or communism to get police to arrest file shareres.
I SUPPORT LEGAL FILE SHARING. Is that why people hate the cops cause they want to ruin filesharing, and downloaders, and data miners.

personally i think the reason they carry waepons it to feel protected and not cool.
i think stronger punishments should be implemented and better security to ensure that there is no need to carry weapons.

(A video of students’ protest against.
On Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 the security forces arrested about twenty students from the same college, for protesting against the Islamic government actions against students.
All but three of the students arrested were released after signing prearranged repentance expressing remorse and agreeing to forfeit their civil rights if they reoffend.
Three of these students have refused to sign such documents which could turn into their legal death sentences if framed or arrested by the government agents again.
For that reason and other unspoken interests, the Ministry of Intelligence ordered the three students to be transferred to one of their undisclosed locations - presumably for

I have a good friend back home who's husband has been to Iraq and is back home now and he is fine. But she still has problems dealing with him being there, in danger and away from her and their family. She thinks this is odd, I have to agree I don't know why she still feels stressed out now that he has returned home safe and sound. So I thought I'd ask if any other wives have experienced this feeling before to hopefully make her feel more normal.

Why does everyone still believe this really happened?
Why is ISRAEL which was made 2 years after the war ended still pulling loads of money from Germany to this very day, when most of the "Holocaust" survivors are dead? What about the other people that died in WW2? 10 million russians died (compared to the "6 million Jews") and The USSR didnt take any more money than they needed from Germany, same with other countries who won the war.
Furthermore, why do the numbers keep fluctuating? After the war it was widely published that 16 million jews died, but when research went into this it was proved physically impossible to do that even in 5 years, so the number dropped to two. Now it is widely believed that between 5.4 and 6 million jews died.
The so-called diary of Anne Frank when researched, was found to be written by a type of ball-point pen, invented after the war, and mysteriously burnt before more investigation could be done.
