Just Came here to pay my respects to two offices who lost their lives yesterday afternoon trying to keep the peace.
McAllen Texas.
Two veteran offices lost their lives responding to domestic violence call. Never had a chance to even draw their weapons.
We truly are at war. 
Coming from law enforcement myself I feel for their families and pray for them. As a law enforcement officer for 20 years I have always considered the domestic disputes the most dangerous jobs for an officer to respond to because you don’t know what you are walking into.
Welcome to the family and proud to have you here.
Thank you so much I appreciate that .
Yet another example of the heroism that our LE show while they are being vilified.
agreed. I may have not always been my best as an american , but never would I dream of doing something like this to someone who is sworn to protect.
@ArmandoB
I have known a fair amount of Leo’s, both good and bad. The honest one’s I love because they carried the the load of serving and knowledge of evil. The dishonest ones made me sick because they thought it was all about them and they hurt innocent people.
Welcome to the community!
After church a few weeks back we all wrote and filled out greeting cards of thanks to our town PD, Sherrif & Deputies, and NPS Rangers, here in Johnson City.
On a personal note, I still carry half a dozen $10 gift cards from WhatABurger with me and just hand one out to any LEO’s I come across shopping or dining.
Thank you , and yes every where we will always have a good and bad batch.
@ArmandoB - I welcome you warmly to the forum and look forward to our conversations.
I am sorry you had to report on 2 officers down, I thank you for the information. Mike.
Thank you so much Mike. Appreciate everyone who has been so friendly
Some communities are going to “fix” these situations by having SOCIAL WORKERS respond to these “non-violent” calls… 
SMH well hope these very well trained social workers are safe.
God bless their loved ones and the souls of those brave men. We are truly blessed to have such men and women in our communities.
Remember why taps is played at the end of each day.
Remember these officers and all the other like them each time you hear it played.
