An officer down in my neighborhood

[Rocker Ute]

I'm shocked and incredibly sad to hear of an officer being fatally shot in my neighborhood today. One of my closest friends and also my cousin are LEOs and this is my worst nightmare for them. Through them I've gotten to know others in law enforcement and I admire all that they do and wonder how they even deal with the awful stuff they deal with every day. I feel bad for the wife and three children this man left behind. Sickening.

And not to sound like that sort of guy, but I never expected something like this to happen in my neighborhood. My community is roiling right now in disbelief.

Be safe out there Diehard, I'm sorry for the loss of another brother out there. Remember that while there is a vocal minority shouting about the job you and your contemporaries do, the majority of us stand behind you.
