    3 separate shootings. One dead, another in grave condition in kissinmee, Florida. My thoughts are with the families, friends and coworkers of the officers.

    I'll say it till I'm blue in the face, I have nothing but respect for police officers.

    On my dept in the last 24 hrs alone we've had an officer get into a fight with a subject on the shoulder of a major highway. Guy tried to push him into oncoming traffic several times. We also had an officer try to stop a car and the car turned and drove straight at the officer at high speed. Lucky both officers are ok and the turds are in custody. Never know when it will be your day to fight hard and protect your life on the job.

    It's getting rougher by the day, brother... I was briefed today to be ready for some drama in downtown this week. Apparently, activists are threatening to come after the Christopher Columbus statues... Un-friggin-believable.

    Goodness man. Do people actually know history? Do they know every country and culture has done something, many things that are awful? Our own people are turning on this country bc it is the cool thing to do these days.

    Give me 50 acres in Iowa and a house in the woods.....

    Very sad indeed. In the last year or so, I now go out of my way to personally thank officers on duty, even one the other day who stopped me for speeding. And not before but after he handed me the citation. That kind of cracked him up.

    No they apparently don't know anything. They torched a Licoln statue in Chicago late last week and then when a alderman said how terrible it was they got on that persons butt for defending a racist slave owner.
