A decision in the federal class action trial surrounding the New York police “Stop and Frisk” is expected soon. Known as a "250" within the New York Police Department, the right to stop, question and pat down anyone deemed suspicious is a Supreme Court-approved tactic available to law enforcement across the country.
Black and Hispanic residents reportedly make up only 23 and 29 percent of New York City’s population respectively, even though 84 percent of the recorded stops have been young men of color and only around 6 percent of the stops have lead to an arrest.
What’s Your Take on the policy of Stop and Frisk in New York City?

Plan B One-Step, the most common morning-after pill will now be sold next to everyday drugstore items. The Obama administration has decided to ditch efforts to appeal the federal court ruling that the government must allow over-the-counter sales of Plan B to anyone, regardless of their age.
Pharmacists, in the past have had the ability to invoke a "conscience clause," due to personal or religious beliefs to turn customers down, as long as they refer them to another pharmacist or to a nearby pharmacy. Conscience clauses have been in place since the morning-after pill hit the market in the late 1990s. The question now is whether to extend the option of a conscience clause to all drugstore employees.
What’s your take? Should drugstore employees be allowed to deny the sale of Plan B due to personal or religious objections?

Finders Keepers is what many of us would claim if we happened to find a large sum of money. Recently, a 10 year old boy found $10,000 in a drawer in a Kansas City, Mo. hotel. He and his father made the decision to turn in the money and report it to the hotel security guard who notified police. No one has come forth yet to claim the cash, leading police to believe it may have been obtained through illicit means.
How about you? What would you have done if you found $10,000 in a hotel room?
