Ugh.... I am well over 60. My father was pistol champ on the police department up until a few years before he retired. I learned to shoot from him.... handguns, shotguns... rifles.

Sorry to hear about your cancer. I pray you have a good outcome. I have been very lucky with my health so far.

I honestly do not believe a word you’ve said.

I honestly don't care if you do. I fire hundreds of rounds a month. My father had to saw a portion of the stock off on my first rifle because I was too small to put it against my shoulder and sight down the barrel. Don't care if you believe that either.

I don't mean to be snippy. I'm a bit protective over our LEO’s right now. Everyone has a right to their opinion, no doubt; and everyone’s opinion is made up from their experiences. I think our LEO’s need our support right now - Not to give them a pass when they are in the wrong, but the benefit of the doubt until we learn more. One thing is certain, they certainly do not deserve to live under the type of threat they are under lately.

Hopefully, more information will come out soon and all of us will feel more at ease with the truth.

It's fine. Difficult times. I remember as a young child (I was born in 1950)walking the beat with my father between call boxes. He tried teaching me how to swing his night-stick. He loved the community and the community loved him.

I grew up believing that the number one tool in law enforcement's arsenal is the support of the community. Specifically in large urban, minority communities there is no support and it hasn't been there for a long time.

And now, with open borders and hordes of refugees the problem is completely unmanageable.

My solution would be to get the illegals and the refugees out, then start focusing on our own minority citizens: the war on drugs is a failure along with the failure to prosecute federal gun crimes. the 'black lives matter' crowd is taking advantage off the situation.... but they didn't create it.
