Prayers for the Chief's family, department and everyone else affected. That's tough. Being an LEO I know how quick situations can go south.

Deliberate death perpetrated upon anyone is bad. Upon a policeman is double bad in spite of what others may say that a "life is a life".
Its time like this we need to resort to "Gestapo tactics". Take the thing and simply hang him in the public square.
Our hearts go out to the policeman's family and I'm sure they will want justice while the thing's family is probably cheering him on.------------Sixgun

Saw that on the news. Prayers sent. As a former Leo myself and still having several in the family these incidents always hit home. It seems that these incidents are increasing in frequency, unfortunately.
To those Leo's on the board, stay aware, come home at the end of your shift, by any means necessary.

Re: OT - Small Town Trajedy Here in Rainier Today
I heard about this elsewhere and its a shame. I pray for the family and friends of the victim and hope that justice is served. My father was Chief of Police for many years in a small town in Alabama and as a kid it was one of my fears that he would have something such as that happen. Im thankful it never happened.
Re: OT - Small Town Trajedy Here in Rainier Today
That was murder, and the murderer deserves death. Prayers sent for the family and the other responding officers.

Re: OT - Small Town Trajedy Here in Rainier Today
Prayers and condolences. These things are a shame. I wonder how many of these officers lost their lives because they are afraid of violating these scumbags "rights" and hesitate. Ranks right up there with prosecuting out combat soldiers.

Prayers for our friends across the river. A sad day for sure.
Now today another shooting in Arizona.
And yet another call for more gun control to come I am sure. The liberal way to rid us from crime is to outlaw being a Victim. No crime report = no crime. Much easier than catching the bad guys !
