was recently engaged, had just bought a home and was starting a farm."
It's a weird and dangerous job, police work. You deal with people who make a living using their bad judgment, with people whose emotions are running high, and with people who are slaves to addiction.
I'll not dip my hands in the fallen officer's blood just to score a political point. It could be any of us, at any time.

9. What's your point? Analysis? Commentary? Question for discussion? |
|
Why even post this if you're unable or unwilling to say why you posted it?
