I often ignore them.
I quit FR for about a year, and stopped my monthly donations because these POS take me to memories/nightmares I don’t care to think about. I made an exception on this one...perhaps because I have buried a few brothers and a sister, and a little piece of me dies every time one of these murders happen. I served for 30 years and retired in 2002.
Two years before I retired, a meth freak used a shotgun to murder one of my guys. Deputy Wally Davis never saw it coming. The POS shot once through his screen door. That one shot removed most of Wally’s head, his brains and his face.
Wally was there to help him.
The POS barricaded himself. I ran the negotiation team... it took 36 hours to get that bastard to surrender. Not killing him was the most difficult thing I had ever done.
Wally’s new wife delivered their first child 7 months after his death.
This old Sergeant wishes your son well and a safe shift.....
God Bless you....
