D. Huerta
Terry Lynn Brandt flagged Officer Huerta down and she informed him that her husband, Roland, was at her apartment in violation of a restraining order. Officer Huerta escorted her back to the apartment and he informed Roland that he would have to leave. Roland agreed to leave but asked if he could get some belongings from the apartment before he left and the officer allowed him to do so. As Roland went to the bedroom, Officer Huerta used the phone to check in at his office. Roland then came out of the back room with a 12-gauge shotgun and killed Officer Huerta. Mrs. Brandt attempted to call the police for help but she was also shot and killed by the suspect. Police arrived and surrounded the barricaded suspect. The suspect shot and killed himself instead of surrendering to police. ************************************************ Gee, wonder why those Jack Boots want to know where your guns are in your house? Ahhh, just that power trip/ gun grab thing.... Rich |

horrible,,but why didn't he also murder the person(s) that witnessed what you just descibed? Or did the vitums live long enough to descibe the actions of the murderer?

What's that dead immigrants name again?
You know, that guy who was gunned down in his doorway, NYC. |

Is there a point here?
Some of us are apparently too slow and too stupid to understand. Is the point that cops have dangerous jobs? Sure they do. Who's saying they don't? Is the point that occasionally cops get killed by psychopaths? Sure they do. So do lots of other innocent people. For every story about a cop who was gunned dwn, there's probably a stort about an unarmed man/woman that was shot by a cop. Sometimes it's an accident, sometimes it's incompetence, and sometimes (rarely) it's a really bad cop. What's the point you're trying to make? |

I personally hope you're from MS. because you're obviously to fucking stupid to finish a book report. And nobody likes unfinished work. By the way, I sympathize with the officer who let a person who was violating a restraining order out of his sight. What a guy. And Garza, still a dedicated patrolman after 25years. What inspiration.

The point of all of these, as was so thoughtlessly asked, is to educate the ignorant as to why cops do what they do. You see these are not just names on a list to us. They are our brothers and sisters, could just as easily be me. We need you to understand that when we encounter you or show up at your door due to some sort of complaint we don't know you from Adam. We will do what we need to control the situation and make it safe. We will then hopefully leave having not made the situation worse. If the parties involved were not breaking the law, or dealing with a situation they could handle themselves then we wouldn't be there at all. This is a dangerous profession and my rights to live outweigh your desire not to be inconvenienced. Just a civics lesson for the blowhards. A lesson that many good people have paid for with their lives.

Officer Morales was a Gulf War veteran and had been with the agency for six months. He is survived by his wife, infant daughter, and two young sons. ************************************************ And all some can do is come in, and call me names....Pretty sad... Rich |

Rapid fire stop feeling sorry for your self. did something crawl up inside you and die today?/ You knew what the job entailed when you took it.
And dont be surprised that a lot of people dont like to see leo types running around...EVER SEE SOMEONE HAPPY TO CALL THE POLICE?? Most every time i have met with an leo I have treated him or her with respect and been treated in kind. I dont harbor any ill feelings about leo's but i cant stand when one gets his panties in a not about not being treated with respect. Respect is not demanded but earned. And Yes most every LEO is an honest person. It is the few that ruin it for the rest. We are all sad when a good leo gets hurt, but we are really mad when a bad leo steps on our rights. So quite your whining and find another job if you cant take it! |

Sheriff Harold Ray Presley
Lee County Sheriff's Department, MS Cause of Death: Gunfire End of Watch: July 06, 2001 Date of Incident: July 06, 2001 Age: 53 Tour of Duty: 13 yr Suspect Info: Shot and killed Weapon Used: Gun; Unknown type Sheriff Presley was shot and killed by a suspect who had fled from police earlier in the night. The suspect had fled the scene of a roadblock earlier in the evening and exchanged shots with pursuing officers. He managed to elude officers during a foot chase after crashing his vehicle. Later in the evening Sheriff Presley received a call from a homeowner who's dogs were barking. When he arrived on the scene at approximately 0515 hours he and the homeowner went to a shed on the property. When Sheriff Presley opened the door the suspect inside immediately opened fire, striking Sheriff Presley several times. Although mortally wounded, Sheriff Presley was able to return fire and kill the suspect as well. Sheriff Presley had been with the department for 13 years and had been sheriff for eight years. ************************************************ At least there will be one less "He was mean to me" cop bashing story we'll have to listen to. |

I hate to sound "nit-picky" but the Sheriff killed the guy who shot him, so he obviously didn't get away. So how come they don't know the type of weapon the sheriff was shot with? I don't get it.

It either wasn't known to the clerk who entered this into the database, or that field was overlooked. Obviously, they know.

You know, I really should have thought of that.......sorry for asking a dumbass question.

I think you guys are missing the point. Rapid_Fire is just trying to say that since whackos are obvioulsy allowed to commit criminal acts that harm police officers, that officers should be allowed to commit crime too. He's saying that because there are bad people in the world police should have absolute power without question or consequence and that he believes people who have possibly been involved in a domestic dispute (guilty or not) should have their weapons confiscated to make his job safer. He apparently does not understand that CRIMINALS will get weapons without that dumbass yellow sheet one way or another. He doesn't get that if someone wants to shoot him they will, law or no law. At least that's what I take from his many sarcastic post titles and subtle implications.
And to Rapid_Fire: Your multiple posts today are obviously in retaliation of recent posts that frown on unconstitutional actions by fellow LEOs. If you have a point to make, Rapid_Fire, just make it. Say that police have a difficult and often times dangerous job that is deserving of our respect. But also be willing to say that cops aren't infallable and should be held accountable when they violate the laws and civil rights they vow to protect. If that is your point you can say so in a much more to the point manner, without implications and a holier than thou attitude. Sarcastic posts like "another gross civil rights violation" can lead people to believe that you think law officers are above accountability for their actions. Comitting a crime while in uniform is doubly heinous and is equal to a man in a priests uniform commiting a crime. Using a position of power and public trust is not only legally wrong but morally wrong on a level beyond that of a "common" criminal and should be treated as such. If you agree then you are on the side of freeedom. If you disagree you are neither the good guy you profess to be or a friend of freedom. At least that's my opinion. HATEBREED |

Rapid_Fire: I am not a leo hater, you will never find a thread here of me bashing a leo. You as a person however are acting like a 4 year old who's mommy won't let him have what he wants. If you think you are promoting your cause you are wrong. You are having the opposite effect by acting this way. What do you think you make this board look like to new members when you cry like this. If you choose to respond to this do so intelligently, not as you have responded to the other comments on your posts. If you can't respond intelligently then please don't bother.

They entered the house in an attempt to locate the suspect and as they entered a hallway the heavily armed suspect opened fire, fatally wounding Deputy Telen. The second deputy retreated and called for backup. Responding deputies where able to get Deputy Telen out of the home and transport him to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The suspect was apprehended after a five-hour standoff. Deputy Telen had been with the agency for 18 months and is survived by his expectant wife and two young children. Deputy Telen's son was born on October 1, 2001, and named after his father. ************************************************ New members opinions? Yeah, you're right.

Rich View Quote Of course, it is a sensitive subject. However, why bait people. It is unfortunate people have to die at work. If a guy dies in a press do you go to a stamping convention and criticize the toolmakers? These guys died because someone committed a criminal act and it resulted in death. A criminal act, get it? Now if you can develop a model that criminologist can use to predict criminal behavior, you will be able to prevent this type of tragedy. Until then, it is an occupational hazard. |

No it doesn't offend me it is just part of your job. I get bashed in the anti union threads but I don't throw a tantrum like you are doing. I try to explain my side intelligently. I don't care if you keep this up but what is the point?

Judgement Day For A Police Officer
The police officer stood and faced his Maker, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, police officer how shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To your Maker, have you been true?" The police officer, with squared shoulders, said "No sir, I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are tough. But I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep. Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got too steep. And I never passed by a cry for help though at times I shook with fear, and sometimes, please forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fears. But if you have a place for me here, well...it need not be too grand. I never expected or had too much so if you don't...I'll understand." There was silence all around the room where the saints respectfully stood. As the police officer waited quietly, for the judgment...bad or good. "Step forward now, police officer, you've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell." |

You don't know anything about me, and I have never posted anything in the past against LEOs (and in fact have supported LEOs when people start freaking out over the supposed "militarization of police forces" You come across as arrogant, smug and narrow-minded to the exclusion of any opinion other than your own.
