Fuuuck...I can't place the name but he was one of us and therefore an even greater loss.
God bless him and all those who make the ultimate sacrifice to keep the wolves from our doors. And I pray to God to keep watch over their families.

Thanks. Maybe some custom engraved dillos with proceeds to the family? I have family in the Des Moines PD. Fairly close to home, this is.

The other guy was a gun guy too. Our very own Septic wrote a very thoughtful and moving note in this thread.
What a loss for us all. RIP. |

I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, "O.K.I'll be part of this world

Wow ! I was upset when I learned of the two officers getting ambushed and killed. Very sad, even more so that it was one of our own members here. My condolences to their families. Can't believe this is still going on.

I don't interest myself in "why". I think more often in terms of "when", sometimes "where" ? Always "how much" ?
