Prayers sent. Unnecessary tragedy.

Horrible tragedy indeed. My prayers and well wishes.

What the hell is going on with this world?

I cant stop thinking about this and I am thousands of miles away in a different country.

As a LEO, this and any other loss of life is hard to swallow.

We are going through a rough time as is here in my Dept. A friend and Sgt. was called upon to make the decision we never want to make and took a life last Sat evening. We are seeing a minor back lash but the facts of the incident speak volumes ( the now deceased produced a AR-15 and aimed it at the Sgt. after a chase AFTER already shooting into an apartment). Yet some of the public feel the Sgt. was wrong and used "excessive force". I smh and suit up every day and do my job. That is all.

It is incredibly frustrating for the public to legitimately think there is never a need for deadly force. I agree it should be a last resort, but a lot of people in the media and public appear to think it is never justified. I feel for you guys as I think your job is about to get that much harder than it already was.

Wow, I thankful to hear that the LEO Sgt was able to defend himself.

It is definitely a scary time to life in. I believe that there will be a lot more of these horrible tragedies in the future. I now carry extra magazines everyday. I'm also at the point of getting concealable kevlar vest for myself and my family.

There is a growing segment of society that believes that part of a cop's job is to get shot. No really, as dumb as it sounds there is a thug culture that essentially believes exactly that.

A double standard where crooks are allowed to live in a fantasy world where they can only be caught by white knights. After all, the criminals are just down on their luck and forced to resort to criminal behavior just to put food on the table. Nobody can blame them for trying to use force to get away from cops because of some logical error loop where crooks using violence to defend themselves is justified.

Yet a cop trying to protect innocent life, through power of law and legal justification to defend human life, must jump through a million hoops and there is never justification for using lethal force.


Anyone ever feel like they are watching the fall of Rome?

Yeah, I feel like I am watching the fall of Rome everyday. I heard that protesters shut down a bridge about an hour from me today. It is unbelievable. Things will get worse.
