Weed Stuck to Forehead

I recently read a short article about a man who got arrested for possession. You wouldn't believe how they found it. To make a long story short, a man 29 years of age, went into a convenience store and had a bag of weed stuck to his forehead. When an officer saw the man looking into his baseball cap, they got suspicious. When the man put his baseball cap back on his head, the bag of weed must have gotten stuck on his forehead. The officers went over to the man, peeled the bag of weed of his forehead and placed him under arrest.

Deadliest Job in Policing

Over the weekend I came across an article that caught my attention. The headline was, "The Deadliest Job in Policing". It caught my eye for several reasons. For starters, I was curious as to what they meant by "the deadliest job" and secondly, I wanted to know what area they were talking about. As I started to read the article, several things took my by surprised. For starters, the first major question asked was where were you most likely to die at if you were a police officer. The answer was Texas. Then going down the list was California, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania (7th), Missouri, Michigan, and Georgia rounding out the 10th spot. I was pretty amazed to find Pennsylvania at number 7 on the list. I would have thought that P.A. would have been farther down the list or not even mentioned in the top 10 at all. The second big topic discussed was "What are you most likely to be doing when you are killed". According to the article, dying as a result of a gunshot wound is the least likely cause of death. The article stated that one is 190% more likely to die from an accidental event than you are from a gunshot wound. Also, you have a 400% change of dying if you write out a citation outside of your police car vs. inside of the police car. So to sum up the article, the worst thing a police officer can do according to this article is write up a ticket outside of your police car in Texas, California, and New York. I know this seems like a wired thing to write about, being that it is about death rates for police officers, but the topic struck my interest, and I learned quite a bit of new information from it. So if you are interested in reading the entire article or just commenting on it, feel free to check out the link below or write in a comment.
