Great looking site!

I have been very happy with my Scorpion EXO 1000. Plus it was dirt cheap as a style close out. It was only $100.

Also, I forgot about my buddy Tom Peters from back home. He has an older brother Harry.

I have been holding off on these 2 because you never know who knows them. I am not 100% sure of the spelling, but I came across Jiggity Homie and her sister Oceanique a couple of years back at work.

La-a is a very real name. A buddy of mine spent a few hours in Internal Affairs being interviewed after she complained that he "disrespected" her name after he spelled it Ladasha on a report.

How about La-a. Pronounced La Dash A. Some parents are just F-ing retarded. Edit: Sorry, didn't read all of the posts first. Didn't know anyone else would know La-a.

Car Fax only tells you if there has been an incident that has an effect on the title (totaled, flood damage, etc). We had a van that was in a major collision before we bought it, but nothing showed on the Car Fax. It wasn't until I took it to a body shop and had it measured that we found out.

How long did you have it before you started having the problem? I've had mine for a year and a half with no issues.

I did, and I played with all of the time.

Pretty sweet!

He was probably chased out of the house and beat where he was found. I say F-HIM!!

Sounds like a blast! Myself and jgetz524 were already planning on being there that weekend anyway. (Sorry Jeff, didn't mean to speak for you.)

You got that right!

My guess is that the difference is what crime is being counted. One may be only counting felonious assaults and homicides and another may be counting regular assaults, rapes, armed robberies ....etc. And I agree, we should go for hazardous duty pay when our dinner infraction expires. However, the fact of the matter is that we will probably end up giving up pay because we have cops negotiating our contracts and something we just shouldn't do.

I'm not sure where Forbes gets their data but the paragraph said the information was gathered from the FBI crime statistics. That information is taken directly from our reports. I am taking a stab and guessing they are including all forms of assaults, robberies, and homicides. The only reason we don't have a higher homicide rate is because we have kick-ass trauma hospitals. I would put our felonious assault rates up with any city in the country. *edit* just read where they get their info. Someone is incorrect. I did forget to mention that we are certainly not a technologically advanced department. We barely have cruisers that run. The one I was driving last night had 180,000+ miles on it.

I had no idea Columbus was considered the 8th most dangerous city. And Ohio has 3 of the top 20 best police departments! http://theazon.com/2011/08/top-20-u-s-police-departments/

Good video.

If we aren't tied up doing something of more importance' date=' we absolutely respond. One of my best friends growing up was a California Highway Patrol officer who was killed on duty by an impaired driver. He had been married less than a year and had a 6th month old son as well as an 8 year old daughter from a previous marriage. You can be damn sure I will respond. I had called in before I became an officer and had officers respond to pick him up. My guess is that they were short handed (holidays suck for staffing). Neither highway patrol or the counties have many deputies on the road to begin with. I don't know if you have heard the radio commercial about the "home invasion" in progress or not, but basically there are 2 deputies on duty and both are tied up on fatal crashes on opposite sides of the county. Meanwhile, a home invasion happens and there is no one available to respond. This could easily be a very real situation. Traffic violators tend to be low on the priority list in the whole scheme of things. The fact of the matter is that unless someone is following the drunk, they are extremely difficult to locate.

Lots of parts for my CX500 bobber project!

I have a herniated T10, bulged L1/L2, herniated L2/L3, bulged L3/L4, L4/L5, and L5/S1. I have had work done on the L5/S1 to stop numbness in my right leg/foot. After that work and core strengthening, I have been able to ride my FZR with no problem. Most people think that riding sport bikes are awful for your back because it looks like it should hurt. The fact of the matter (for me) is that the only thing that hurts my back riding is a cruiser type bike. That type of bike (feet forward position) rounds out my back and gives me unbelievable pain! You may want to get a doctors opinion about it. However, I would explain why I need to know and how riding makes my back feel before letting him answer.

Don't know about you, but I have never shot my gun after cleaning it (unless I was going shooting). Kind of defeats the purpose of cleaning it!

That's what I was hoping for!

As long as it is a legal stop sign (size, shape, color) mounted at the regulation height, it could be citable. We just tend to stay away from private property. Even though we don't take non-injury or non-hit skip accident reports, I have still been ordered to. About 5 years ago I arrested a 17 year old for reckless op. on private property. He had been playing Grand Theft Auto all day and decided he wanted some food from Taco Bell. The problem is, he had absolutely no idea how to drive, and certainly not a stick shift. He stole his mom's manual Astro Van, was banging it through the gears, then rolled it over in the parking lot. On top of all that, he was drunk also.
