If she needs to, she should, and find a lower-stress job, or just chill for a while if y'all can afford it. I always thought that was more honorable than becoming a burnout case punching a timeclock.
I wouldn't call Captain Canada "average."
How much effort is going into identifying and arresting prolific murderer(s)?

We were going to move out of the city to the farm but things are worse in that health district and it's 85% rural.
If he were better than average he'd be a Major or even Colonel.

Not real bright, are you?
Maybe an I.Q. of 60 should be a prerequisite for being on this forum!
I'm starting to feel sorry for the old boy. I give him a bit of credit for the fight in him. No matter how many times he's pwned, he just keeps getting up and begs for more punishment.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of teh dumb in Captain Canada.
Oh t-gurly you can do that chickensh+t shuck and jive with the biggest cowards out there! But THE QUESTION REMAINS:
Here is an article damning cops with faint praise and illustrating that in some peoples eyes, cops are NEVER in the right! And it illustrates the utterly twisted value system of LIE-berals! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Charleena Lyles Needed Health Care. Instead, She Was Killed. 1/11

On Sunday morning, two Seattle police officers shot and killed Charleena Lyles in her apartment. She was pregnant, and three of her four children were home. She had called the police to report a burglary. According to the officers’ account, shortly after they arrived, Ms. Lyles, who the police knew was mentally ill, pulled a knife. Both officers shot her. Societal failure to care for mental health, which leaves the police as mental illness first responders, may well have been one deadly ingredient in this tragic encounter.
(ONE DEADLY INGREDIENT? IT’S THE ONLY DEADLY INGREDIENT! What would LIE-beral minded morons have ordered to be done differently by cops? She was robbed and so police MUST speak to her? It is not the job of cops to order psychiatric care for her! Nor is it in their power to ORDER her to take her medication before they will deal with her! And they have no power to do so anyway!)
According to her family and police records, Ms. Lyles wrestled with significant mental health issues. An audiotape reveals officers discussing her police and mental health history immediately before the shooting. Seattle Police Department officers had been called to her residence more than 20 times before this Sunday, with mental illness often figuring in those encounters. The department had placed an officer caution on her address for this reason, meaning officers should be on alert for dangerous behavior from her. Despite repeated previous mental health referrals and the involvement of Child Protective Services, she was alone with her children on Sunday, in distress and with nowhere to turn but 911.
(SO she is OFFICIALLY KNOWN to cops as potentially dangerous? Again- what are mere cops supposed to do with her other than to defend themselves if she attacks? AS she had already been robbed it is likely she was agitated even BEFORE cops got there. Cops might have waited a while to see if she cooled off a bit? Or maybe the deliberate lack of attention and service might have provoked her further? There is no answer and no easy solution other than to persuade LIE-beral minded Hogs that they must provide care even if the patient refuses!)
Ms. Lyles’s situation is not unique. People with untreated mental illnesses are disproportionately likely to attract police attention. The combination of mental illness, racial segregation and poverty is particularly likely to result in police contact, often leading to arrest.
(OH typical LIE-beral garbage! The woman was robbed and IS ENTITLED to police aid- its just too bad LIE-berals will do nothing for her and leave it to police with their hands tied to deal with a total mess! Too many mentally ill persons COULD be stable members of society IF they were compelled to take their medication- and IF they were supplied with it!)
(LIE-berals have created a mental health revolving door- patient acts up and cops are called and gets committed and stabilized and is then released. Once back out, patient often stops taking `meds` due to unpleasant side effects- or is unable to afford meds and ends up in mental trouble again- with cops coming back to deal with patient yet again. This is NOT a cop failing, it is a LIE-beral govt failing with LIE-berals being too greedy to waste money on crazy people!)
In fact, a 2006 Bureau of Justice Statistics study revealed that 24 percent of state prisoners report a history of mental illness, with other sources reporting rates in some larger facilities as high as 70 percent. But it was not always the case that mental illness would result in the cycle of catch and release that evidently plagued Ms. Lyles.
What changed over the past half-century is that the United States has seen a stunning decline in resources devoted to public mental health — during the same time the nation adopted mass incarceration. A 2009 International Association of Chiefs of Police review reported that the available hospital beds for persons suffering from mental illness dropped by 95 percent from 1955 to 2005, to 17 beds per 100,000 persons from 340. From 1985 to 2005, the nation’s incarceration rate tripled.
(AS I said- greedy LIE-berals are keeping the cash and giving mental health sufferers their right- to be set free without adequate supports in place! And LIE-berals consider it unfair to force mental health patients to receive treatment anyway- they can be crazy if they wanna be!)
The shift away from hospital treatment of mental illness was not matched by an offsetting commitment to fund the health care people needed to live on the outside. Medicaid reimbursement rates are so low that it is difficult to find providers who will accept it. As a result, many people with mental illness are functionally uninsured for their most urgent health care needs. That is, state support for mental health retreated at the same time state investment in incarceration exploded — and both with disastrous results for vulnerable communities.
The consequence of the disinvestment in public mental health has also not affected all vulnerable communities equally. African-American people are at least as likely as white people to experience mental health distress but are half as likely to receive mental health treatment. This helps to explain why it’s easy to recall other high-profile cases of police use of deadly force involving black victims with documented histories of mental illness.
To be sure, the disproportionate rate of law enforcement violence against African-Americans has a host of contributing factors, including racial bias, both implicit and explicit. There is most likely no single explanation for the tragedy that occurred when Seattle Police Department officers shot and killed Ms. Lyles. But in her case and others like it, the failure of public mental health services appears to have been one important ingredient in a mix of forces that ultimately proved deadly. Without this failure, Sunday’s encounter might never have occurred.
(OH balls! Race has NOTHING to do with two cops trapped in a crowded room and shooting an enraged crazy woman coming at them with a knife- it’s a survival issue!)
If we are to protect families in similar situations, we must extend the lens of our concern beyond police-community interactions — even in cases where the police pull the trigger. A reinvestment in public mental health resources — including hospitals and, yes, better health care coverage for vulnerable Americans struggling with mental illness — are urgent necessities.
Of course, the cure for these too frequent police-involved shootings must include serious changes within law enforcement. But we must also recommit to changing how we manage mental health if we are to reduce the chances that illness will be treated with gunshots. It is what we owe to Ms. Lyles and to the children who survive her.
(Oh there is the knife in the back for cops to enjoy and to make selfish LIE-berals feel better! LIE-berals insist that “better cop training’ will resolve this issue? HAHAHAHAHA! LIE-berals should STOP lying about cop training and START thinking about giving more cops things like Tazers so they can knock down a crazy person without filling them full of .40mm Glock pistol holes! But here in Toronto, our LIE-berals refuse to give out Tazers to cops for fear cops will “misuse them”!) So Toronto cops- and a lot of Yankee ones too- can only pull out the Glock and blaze away to protect themselves! LIE-berals are desperately seeking a way to blame others for THEIR racist attitudes and lust for power! LIE-berals are afraid to tell the public the truth for fear of being voted out!)
Can't argue with that, you'd recognize "dumb" with no problem! Guess it was your lucky day when Velcro was recognized as a substitute for shoe laces!
You and that other idiot complement each other!
The title is misleading, prolific murderers would be in the league of Stallin, Mao and Hitler as a distant third. Uncle Sam is world class these days under a double digit number of Pressidonts. We're not selling papers here so the titles of threads should be more to the point so we don't waste reading time on material unrelated to the title of said material. I'm a very busy person and I don't like being disappointed by fake marketing.

I am aware that the scenario you describe never happened. I said a reliable source. Your memories of what you may have heard on a radio (can't even remember the station) a couple of decades ago is not a reliable source.
If you did hear something, you heard a disk jockey telling a tall story. Perhaps it was a show on urban myths and how easy it was to have some people believe them.
I told you what station it was. How can you say it never happened? Stranger stuff than that happens around the world every day. The guy just seen enough and was pissed off. I can quite easily imagine how seeing his daughter in potential fatal danger would be enough to set a guy off and put the adrenylin into gear. Like I said I have no way of being 100% sure it happened but it takes very little imagination to visualize it.
The lad looks like he could use a little exercise!
Yesterday evening Scarlett Johansson came by my place dressed in her Black Widow costume, trick or treating. I gave her a candy bar and she said "Now I have a trick for you" and kissed me, rubbing herself up against me. Well, one thing led to another and we didn't get any sleep at all. She just left bout half an hour ago.
To quote JLM, "How can you say it never happened?"
And that, dearly beloved, is the fallacy known as "shifting the burden of proof." You claim any stupid-ass thing, and are actually fool enough to believe that unless someone can provide conclusive proof it never happened, you must be right. Especially because proving a negative (that it never happened) is logically impossible.
What can I tell you you don't already know?
She said to tell you "Hi" and she has wonderful memories of you, by the way.
