I'm biased too. Against all the Freddie Grays out there. And for them. Definitely. Spend some time, you know. I hoped for redemption for everyone.

The pawn shop never felt better than when the cops were visiting. Never felt worse than when a thug was selling a broken charm bracelet. Where, on one hand, you had to do the math of how much is this worth in 14k gold? And on the other hand, you had to do the math of how does this guy come to have a charm bracelet, and is it broken because it was literally ripped off some girl's arm?

I always made sure the thugs were paid shit, and they were too dumb to even know anyway; that's what I did for that community.

Apologies from me as well; I had looked up the definition of second degree assault in Maryland, and then misread it.

Folks, we've had some lively discussion. As much as I hate to admit it, I have looked at somethings in a different light. I probably won't change, but I do think about the points you have made.

Big Sarge, working in the public defenders office, I see so much crap. Mostly I'm tired of thieves. Get your own job and buy your own shit. I got jaded, after being a lifelong bleedin heart. So your points are understood.

A police officer in Texas was rewarded after his quick thinking saved the life of a 3-year-old boy. On October 12, Brayden Geis' mother and father frantically dialed 911 after their son stopped breathing and was unresponsive. The 911 operator dispatched an EMS team, but they were several minutes away. Granbury Police Officer Chase Miller just happened to be scanning the EMS dispatch channel when he realized he was in that location. Dash cam footage then shows him rushing to the young boy's aid within 60 seconds of the 911 call. Officer chase then performed CPR for about two minute, not giving up until the boy started breathing again.

Listen to the changes in the deputy's voice from the first shot to the last sentence heard. That's stress!!!

That video is a perfect example of how watching a video on a pc and hitting the "k" key to pause and the "<" and ">" keys to go backwards and forward frame by frame is really a useful tool.
