Nope - one every four years - as long as you don't get caught.
That's just the Good Conduct - if you mean other medals, that would depend on where she served and what she did.
You usually got some kind of something for going almost anywhere - I think they were just focusing on the "good conduct" in an attempt to dress her up.
“”Officers involved in deadly force situations take that with them for life...They don’t carry that lightly,” Cervera said.”
That’s extremely unfortunate, especially under kill-or-be-killed circumstances. Officers involved in situations like that shouldn’t be so hard on themselves because there is no good reason for them to be.
Tailed them for 30 minutes, then pumped 30 rounds into the vehicle without regard to passengers, including a 4 month old baby. This was an attack team, not a simple street cop, surely they could have been less trigger happy—what was the reason for the stop? Broken tail light, failure to signal a lane change? Sorry, seems like the cops were out to get them, got excessively trigger happy in the process. As well-prepped as they were, could they not have queried surrender or something before their volley of bullets? Something stinks about this. (and I am not suggesting innocence on the part of the victims, just nothing suggests they did anything illegal up to the point of the one firing a shot. The woman and baby were unarmed. Mom’s death is manslaughter, if not premeditated. Again, this was an attack team that stalked them for 30 minutes. 30 minutes.)
With a baby no less.
That’s pretty much what I thought. And don’t you also as a general rule pick up a few other awards or medals?
I misread that, to mean 1 each year. LOL You wrote it clear as could be. Oops...
Yes, I agree with the ‘dress up’ comment. That’s why I was questioning if she should have more than that to point to.
I believe the GCM covers an enlistment period and is awarded at the end, usually when the recipient reenlists. But it's over half-a-hundred years since I served...memory fades.
Thanks for the mention.
Littl’ piggies don’t want to be sizzled.
But if theyve been together long enough to have a child she certainly had time to find out.
I believe it only reads she had a 4 yo.....Was it his kid???
Thanks JimRed. Others seem to agree with your thoughts.
I was wondering if the cops considered pulling the car over and making a "felony stop" ?
Perry very well have been inclined to shoot anyways.
At least one cop was in uniform, the source article showed the uniform pierced by Perry's gunfire.
Officers from a special operations unit . Hence the cool green uniform.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015, police show where a bullet from a 9mm handgun entered and exited a Virginia Beach police officer's uniform during a fatal officer-involved shooting outside a 7-Eleven in the Princess Anne area of Virginia Beach over the weekend. (Rich-Joseph Facun | The Virginian-Pilot)
The store video will show what happened. If Perry opened fire first he signed his own death certificate.
Think Tribal at its base instinct...
Women value security to nest, breed, procreate...
If you got yourself a Bad A** Brotha as your “Man” you have power
So they think...
Old age deoes not mean the same to folks who live in this layer and manner of life
Gang Bangers who are at or in their 30’s are known as Veteranos, but living to be old and grandchildren...
Nope, live for the now and go down in a blaze of glory
That is your Legend to the rest
some will follow
and the story continues
He was a “person of interest” in a homicide investigation, but Cervera said he couldn’t release details.
They pulled in were not pulled over plus firing 1st was probably not a smart thing to do but we know what were dealing here when it comes to smarts on the part the dead ones
I don’t understand such thinking.
I guess I’m lucky?
What a strange view of the world.
The police say that Perry was a "person of interest" in a homicide investigation, but Cervera said he couldn't release details.
Can't they say whose murder? I don't quite follow that. Someone has been murdered, shouldn't the name of the deceased in that case be made public?
Thank God nobody else was killed.
