Police Officer shot and killed in my hometown.
« on: July 29, 2017, 04:33:00 PM »
He was one of two Full-Time paid officers.  The rest are unpaid reserves.  He and two other officers  (one off-duty) responding to a rollover accident when the driver opened fire.

He had asked the Chief if he could come in late that day, so he could walk his son to his first day of kindergarten.



RIP LT. Allen.

This weekend just sucks.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

And they wonder why juries are so hesitant to convict in cases like the Castile shooting...

My free suggestion to the prosecutor is that he/she show that picture above to the jury.

I don't think there will be a jury. Unless there were two VERY similar incidents on the same day, the other officers killed the perp.

Which means probably nobody will know why the idiot opened fire.
