BTW, I also am a regular reader of the forums at sites like officer.com and police1.com, and am amazed they don't get more attention from the media given the rather disturbing posts there. I'd like to think it's like much of the Web where only the worst drecks of their ranks are posting, but...

I had to laugh a little at this poll because where I live now (a village 750 miles from the North Pole) I definitely feel protected and served since there's almost no crime, the biggest "assault" threat is from polar bears, and one of the main duties of the police is some serious badass stuff...

TigerVols: I've been trying to get digital content from games to movies legally since my first computer 30 years ago – and probably spent more on it than my house. But I live in Europe these days and a lot of companies are doing everything possible to keep me from buying stuff legally anymore...

"Frankfurt, Germany – North Korea is blaming football’s worst doping scandal in almost two decades on using steroid-laced medicine from musk deer glands to treat injuries from a lightning strike at a training camp for the Women’s World Cup." An earlier defeat was blamed on several of their...

I can't believe this isn't a troll thread. If anyone decides they're going to call because they think "no calls" is wrong, they probably don't want to work for us and I certainly don't want them.

Final post, probably, on this: Yes the editors know and, as I mentioned, so will readers once my next column is published. I'm gentle with my words and don't name names, but it's clear my work was altered because it lacked the cheerleader quality some readers told the powers-that-be it should...

...and not to totally change the subject, but just so I don't leave you hanging with the "what the &$%# is this manslaughter thing:" That could be a topic in itself and it's something I mention when talking to journalism classes. It happened maybe 15 years ago when I was a crime reporter in Los...

Following up on the all-is-kinda-well ending... The powers that be know my stuff was altered and I'm putting a non-rancorous mention of it into my next column, basically saying a few of my recent columns were garbled on their way to the Internet by deities who felt I wasn't being appropriately...

Looks like this ended with everyone taking the high road... Basically said I'd keep writing for them, since I've enjoyed done it for years and didn't want to walk away if things could be resolved, but I wouldn't stop being an honest critic and I wanted my altered columns removed from the web...

There's been some good advice here, so thanks. Whatever else happens, I've decided I need to walk away from this because I have no desire to write fanboy material in future columns. Beyond that I'll likely let the powers that be know why I'm quitting and let them do what they will. Oggiedoggie...

EagleMorph: 1) Good point. Let's just say it hasn't happened before to the best of my knowledge, based on reader and source feedback. As I admitted, it's one of my flaws. 2) I'll have no problem proving the editor did it "to get back at you" because the explanation was part of an e-mail...

A newbie posting about a unique situation in my 25-year career... Got an e-mail from a reader basically asking what on Earth I was thinking in my last column. His question sounded idiotic, since he seemed to think I was writing the opposite of my intended point. I went back and looked at it...

Wow. Among the many reasons this is depressing is Bemidji is a nice place, but I wouldn't take any job at the paper after reading this ad. My question: Is anyone aware of any similar job that exists at any other "real" newspaper in the U.S.?

Wonder how many parents in the U.S. would like to see this policy... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6649440/Kim-Jong-il-bans-World-Cup-coverage---unless-North-Korea-win.html
