Criminal Records and Cops

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 27 Oct 07

I'm just wondering what everyones view is on cops who have a criminal record? Do you think it's OK for a cop to have a criminal record? Perhaps just under certain circumstances? How do you feel about it overall?

pennycan2 i think that if the cop has any kind of violent offense or DUI or DWI they should not be allowed on the force. I know in my parish (county) they can not be hired if they have a criminal background even if it is something as simple as failure to pay child...

pennycan2 obviously you felt led to do this so i think you should seek mor guidance as to who this box may be for. I don't know if you believe in God but I do and if you felt that you needed to make this maybe it came from Him and you should ask who it is for. I heard a...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 1 Nov 07

I guess I was raised wrong or something... or maybe I'm just a red-neck hick who doesn't understand. To me, a yard is a place where people play, enjoy hobbies and pets run around. A drive way is a place where you leave your car...

Do you think basic manners should be taught in the schools or home?

Bee1955 @Bee1955 (3882) • United States 27 Feb 07
