Assuming this is to me, why would I say something like what Ms. Lindy??? please clarify

thats what you call unthankful someone should of taken his **** .... cops in this case doing were good.. for once!! lol !

truly ...Lindyy

i don't know why there are some people

who wouldn't want honest officers to help


i have had good dealings with the police

and i respect them highly

and their rough jobs fully


they are mostly good ,

only a few bad apples in the whole bushel


I keep thinking that the reason

many people are so adamant against the Police

is because they probably have MUCH to hide...

Is someone out on the Lam ???

Fran, we are adults, please. I did not say "why would you say" I said "why would you DO something like that?" Referring to the above post of yours.

Really, I did not want to go into detail, I was trying to point out to you in a discrete manner how petty things were getting. To me "used that word on purpose " is blatently trying to stir up controversy. So, I have clarified the issue.

well then Ms. Lindy, you are wrong. I do not need to incite any controversy and didnt.

And yes I am an adult, and notice I speak with respect to everyone so I want the same (seems fair no?)

and just to prove the point the word is blatantly not blatently

or are you trying to incite controversy???

Okay, I gotta put my two cents in here. What responsible parent hosting a sleepover with children of that age doesn't make sure that the entire home is secure and that the children are at least in bed before going to sleep themselves? That part doesn't make a bit of sense, and makes me wonder how responsible this parent is?

As for the police entering the home, I'm not a big fan of it, but being that this parent was so irresponsible in leaving the home open to intruders, I would be grateful as one of the parents of those kids that the police took it upon themselves to make sure the home was secure.

But then again, the city was already aware of the Police Department making patrols like this, as the article states that this was "part of a public service campaign to remind residents to secure their homes to prevent thefts".

Well, we must think of it this way, how much control do we want our government to have over us? Should they be able to check our doors at night and enter if they are not locked? Where does this power end? Do they tuck us in at night and make sure we say our prayers next?

If a person leaves their doors open at night, although dangerous, granted, should it not be their right to do so without having to wake up to the tucky tighty patrol?

I would say they are lucky that they did not enter my residence, my dog would have had a midnight snack, especially entering my room and then what would have happened, my dog would have got shot for doing her job well?

This is not a good situation and we must see it for the violation of our personal rights because that is what it is.

As for the parent not watching the children, at three in the morning everyone is asleep and that is not considered neglect.

I agree with your post, at 3am wake me at your own risk (and I am referring to someone that has no business in my home) regardless of occupation.

There is not enough information supplied on the kids, on why at 3am they were awake, where they awake when the police passed by? why would the police ask children if they can enter? they have no authority... just some questions I have

And if the police woke the kids up at the age they were, it would have scared the bejesus out the poor little tykes to have the police wake them up. It was just wrong all the way around and some hell raisin needs to happen because if this becomes policy or standard we are in trouble. We will be moving towards totalitarian control in the government, so long to freedom.

shared those concerns myself - can you imagine the children scared out of their minds.

I try to see both views before I take a stand, but a note is the police officers usual way of dealing with this. Letting residents know what they saw/found. But this officer took it upon himself to enter a premise... wouldnt have walked out had that been my home. (just my opinion, not worth a dime)

Once again a good thread about an important topic has turned into a childish argument. I had just started participating in the forums again, but I can see things havn't changed! This is not contributing anything valuable to my day. Can you all see that this kind of behavior is chasing good people off this site?

Well, quite obviously, the 4 children under the age of 7 WERE NOT ASLEEP.

Ms Lindy, I read the article, no where on the article does it state whether the kids were already awake or if they were awaken by the police officers.

I am not sure if you meant me but I was not being argumentative at all. I was just stating how I feel about the situation.

So if I offended, sorry, not meant that way.

As for chasing people off the site, I am sure it is not that serious, right?

It did not state the children were wandering around the house awake, alone at three o clock in the morning and I am sure if that would have been the case that would have surely been mentioned, which means the police woke the little tykes up and scared the hell out of them. Police at your door is scary even to an adult.

so much for agreeing to disagree

i guess you decided not to

and they illegally entered the house they had no warrent and no probable cause they are lucky no one died

if someone would of then the cops would have been responsible
