An officer down in my neighborhood
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.

Uhg... Who wants to repost in this thread, but it is heartbreaking the news in Dallas... Now 5 fallen officers and 11 shot.
What is this world coming to? I know that is a question asked by every generation but is this really what we want? Where the good guys have become bag guys and targets?
I hope our nation pulls together instead of falling apart. People have a right to protest but what would it do to heal both sides if instead of taking to the streets right now America said, "We love and respect the good cops so we are taking our protest online to protect them from being targeted. Get rid of corrupt and trigger happy cops, but we as a nation stand as one together and for the rule of law..."
I am very fearful of copycat attacks. Diehard and all of my other LEO friends, please stay safe out there. My heart breaks for all of you and your fallen brothers.

In the end it's better if I just don't say anything at all.
