One Paranoid Gun Nut Equals 3 Dead Cops.

Ok... let's get back to the point of this thread instead of dissecting posts again. bad comments were made... they were in the past.

What a thankless job a law enforcement officer is These kinds of things happen to them all too often and had they fired first they would have been crucified on trial for shooting at a civilian. It's not a job I envy at all.

Prayers for the families of these officers. this thread should not be about guns, or bans, or digs at each other. There is something much more important in this thread. the needless loss and disrespect of our men in uniform who are out there everyday trying to do their best to keep nut jobs like this from hurting others. it's a needless senseless tragedy and it's so so sad.

and then we see these stories about officers who "abuse' their power and hold people up in traffic who are only trying to get tot he hospital... and then a story like this comes up and it really makes me see both sides. I am NOT at all defending abuse of power at all... but then these stories make me think no wonder officers don't take anyone's word for it anymore and let them off... they could DIE for it

The public memorial is being held tomorrow about a block from where I work. I will be in attendance to show my support for these heroes....

And this morning there is an article that the suspect's family is upset at the way he is being treated by police, and at not being able to get back into their house, and they are accusing the police of stealing a wallet from the house that supposedly had I believe over $3000 in it.......give me a break!
