*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN

[IMaDick]

Police are targets because they can't instigate the shooting, most of the officers know when they are going after violent offenders, most of them would shoot first if they could.

It's sad that the rules put great people in harms way.

Thanks for the updates on these stories LC.

in a 24-hour period, 11 police officers have been shot in the line of duty in the U.S. it's a war like any on foreign soil.
i know you feel the way i do over this Dick. heavy-hearted.

i update this thread far too often.


Dick, i was never told i had to wait for them to shoot first. if a gun came out, i could fire at will.

You can see it everyday, an officer shouting for a violent offender to drop his weapon, you and I were both trained to bring these guys to jail, shooting and killing the suspect is always the last resort.
