Marshall art, Maybe I am being cynical. But I suspect the only reason the press gives favorable reviews of the police is becasue they are here at home. And, as such, it is almost impossible for the media to ignore such stories. I believe that if they could get away with unbalanced coverage in this area, they would. If the WOT were taking place on our soil, it would next to impossible for the media to lie/underreport the events of the conflict. But since the sheeple (as the media see us) are not in the middle east, it is much easier for them to be a propaganda tool for our enemies.

I could be wrong, but if there’s one area where there seems to be real balance in reporting, it’s in the area of cops on the job. Unlike the reporting on the WOT and the troops getting the job done, we are not bogged down with only negative stories of crooked cops or failures to get the job done. It’s gratefully not uncommon to hear inspiring and heartwarming stories about police courage and success as well as stories like the ones highlighted here. And it is only right and just to do so. Another group of people who put their lives on the line on our behalf and they deserve the attention and praise.

What a fantastic story!! What a great inspiration, at a time when I could really use some!

Thanks for that story and for the kind words, I can’t tell you how much they mean.

We just had a deputy in Davidson county where I live, who had to shoot a guy who tried to get his gun during a struggle after a car chase.

I have only lost one officer at my department in the last 70 years or so. She was one of my training officers, though, and it was the first time I had lost someone who I considered a friend.

S.T., if it’s ok I wanted to post a site where they keep track of the officers killed as well as the stories of how they died. The site is odmp.org and it stands for Officer Down Memorial Page. It’s a great site that honors those who have died as well as giving statistical info on their deaths. National Police week is coming up and hopefully I can make next years memorial services in Washington, D.C. Police week was an absolute incredible and humbling experience. The area around the memorial is shut down and there are thousands of officers from all over the world as well as the country. I had the honor of standing a post behind the Attorney General during his speech. I also got to see my friends name on the wall along with all the others. I really can’t explain what that felt like.

Ok, I’m sorry I went rambling like that! If I babbled incoherently, please forgine me, I have alot of feelings about topics like these!

God Bless!
